Tools Requirements and Limits

for Use in Local and Remote nPartitions

The following list describes many of the administration requirements for

using HP-UX tools on a local or remote nPartition. For detailed

procedures, refer to these chapters: Booting and Resetting nPartitions on

page 197, Managing nPartitions on page 245, and Listing and Managing

Server Hardware on page 307.

• Listing Information—You can use the parstatus command or the

Partition Manager utility from any nPartition to list nPartition and

complex information.

• Adding (Assigning) a Cell to an nPartition—You can use

parmodify or Partition Manager from any nPartition to assign a cell

to any nPartition in the server complex.

• Removing (Unassigning) a Cell from an nPartition—You can

unassign an inactive cell from its nPartition by using parmodify or

Partition Manager on any nPartition. However, to unassign an active

cell you must use these tools from the local nPartition (the nPartition

to which the cell is assigned).

• Powering On or Off a Cell—To power on or off a cell that is

unassigned, you can use frupower or Partition Manager on any

nPartition. To power on or off an assigned cell, the cell must be

inactive and you must use frupower or Partition Manager from the

local nPartition (the nPartition to which the cell is assigned).

• Rebooting or Shutting Down HP-UX—To reboot or shut down

HP-UX you must issue the /usr/sbin/shutdown command and

appropriate options (such as -r, -R, -h, -R -H, or others) from the

local nPartition.
