Step 2. Use the parmodify -p # -P name command to set the nPartition name
for any of the nPartitions in the server complex.
Specify both the partition number (-p # ) 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 nPartition’s new name by using the parstatus -p #
command or parstatus -P.
Renaming an nPartition [Partition Manager]
This procedure (Partition —> Modify Partition action, General tab) names
and renames nPartitions using Partition Manager.
Step 1. Run Partition Manager (/opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr) or access it from
SAM or a Web browser.
Step 2. In the Partition Manager primary window, select the nPartition whose
name you want to change.
Click the nPartition’s name in the list on the left side of the primary
window to select the nPartition.
Step 3. Select the Partition —> Modify Partition action, and access the General tab.
The nPartition name is listed—and can be edited—in the Partition Name
field in the General tab.
Step 4. Edit the nPartition’s name in the Partition Name field, and click OK
when done editing the name (or click Cancel to cancel any changes).
Step 5. Review any Notes and Warnings that Partition Manager presents, and
click OK to implement the name change (or click Cancel to cancel the
change).
If there are any important notes or warnings, Partition Manager
presents them in the window before completing the changes.
When the name change is complete, Partition Manager presents a final
dialog box confirming that the nPartition was successfully modified.
