Windows nPartition Guide v5.5

help you distinguish among the nPartition in a server complex. (You cannot change the nPartition
number, which is a permanent unique identifier that is automatically assigned for each nPartition
in a server complex.)
Each nPartition name can have from 1 to 64 characters, including upper- and lowercase letters;
numbers; and dashes, underscores, and spaces (“-” “_” and “ ”).
nPartition names are displayed (along with nPartition numbers) in various reports and menus
provided by the MP and other nPartition tools. Note that some tools display only the first 30
characters of nPartition names.
Change the name of an nPartition using the following procedure:
Procedure 4-34 Renaming an nPartition [nPartition commands]
From the command line, rename an nPartition by using the parmodify -p# -P name command,
where -P name specifies the new name for the nPartition (-p#, where # is the nPartition number).
1. Log in to Windows on the management station PC.
2. Use the parmodify -p# -P name command to set the nPartition name for any of the
nPartitions in the server complex.
NOTE: You must include the correct remote administration options when issuing par
commands (-h and -g for IPMI over LAN connections; -h and -u for WBEM/WMI
connections). For a complete explanation of these options, see the command description in
“nPartition Commands Reference” (page 89).
Specify both the nPartition number (-p#, where # is the nPartition number) and the new
name for the nPartition (-P name).
If the nPartition name contains spaces then quotation marks must surround the name.
# parmodify -p1 -P "New Name"
Command succeeded.
#
You can list the new name of the nPartition by using the parstatus -p# command (where
# is the nPartition number) or parstatus -P.
Cell-level tasks
The following section describes tasks you can perform on individual cells within an nPartition.
List processor configurations
Processor (CPU) configuration details include the CPU population, CPU type, and the clock
speed.
List processor configurations using the following procedure:
Procedure 4-35 Listing processor configurations [nPartition commands]
From the command line, use parstatus -C for processor summaries for all cells in the server
complex; or use parstatus -V -c# for detailed processor information for the specified cell
(-c# where # is the cell number).
1. Log in to Windows on the management station PC.
