Renaming an nPartition [HP-UX]
This procedure (parmodify -p # -P name ) sets the nPartition name for
nPartitions using HP-UX commands.
Step 1. List the current nPartition states and names using the parstatus -P
command.
This shows all nPartitions, their current status (active or inactive), and
their partition numbers and nPartition names.
