Windows nPartition Guide v5.5

Create a new nPartition remotely Log in to an nPartition in the same complex where the new
nPartition will be created and use the Partition Manager
Create Partition task. You can also execute the parcreate
command using either the WBEM or the IPMI-over-LAN
method. For remote administration using WBEM, the tool
accesses the nPar Provider running on an nPartition in the
target complex (for example, with the -u... -h...
options). For remote administration using IPMI over LAN,
the tool accesses the MP (for example, with the -g...
-h... options).
Modifying nPartitions
Modifying an nPartition involves using an nPartition administration tool to revise one or more
parts of the server Complex Profile data, which determines how hardware is assigned to and
used by nPartitions.
• Use parmodify or Partition Manager from an nPartition running in the same complex as
the nPartition. You can also modify some nPartition details locally from an nPartition console
by using EFI Shell commands.
• Use parmodify or Partition Manager running on a remote management station or Windows
system.
— When you use WBEM, the tool accesses the nPartition Provider running on an nPartition
in the target complex. Use the -u... -h... set of parmodify options (or equivalent
Partition Manager login options).
— When you use IPMI over LAN, the tool accesses the MP of the target complex. Use the
-g... -h... set of parmodify options (or equivalent Partition Manager login
options).
