You can list the local nPartition number by using any one of the following procedures:

The local nPartition number is the numerical identifier for the nPartition currently being accessed (where the command executes).

Procedure 8-29 Listing the Local nPartition Number (BCH Menu)

From the BCH Configuration Menu, use the PD command to list the local nPartition number and its name. The BCH Menu is available only on HP 9000 systems.

  1. Access the BCH Main Menu for the nPartition whose name and number you want to list.

    Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the BCH Main Menu (the Main Menu: Enter command or menu> prompt). If at a BCH menu other than the Main Menu, then enter MA to return to the BCH Main Menu.

  2. Enter CO to access the BCH Configuration Menu.

  3. Enter the PD command to list the local nPartition number and its name.

  4. Exit the console and service processor interfaces if finished using them.

    To exit the BCH environment type ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and returns to the service processor Main Menu. To exit the service processor, type X at the Main Menu.

Procedure 8-30 Listing the Local nPartition Number (EFI Shell)

From the EFI Shell, use the info sys command to list the local nPartition number; this command also displays a list of active cells, CPUs, and the current memory configuration. The EFI Shell is available only on HP Integrity systems.

  1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition whose nPartition number you want to list.

    Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the nPartition console.

    When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select the Exit option from the sub-menus until you return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.

    From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell environment.

  2. Enter the info sys command to list the nPartition number for the local nPartition.

    The info sys command also displays a list of active cells, CPUs, and the current memory configuration.

  3. Exit the console and service processor interfaces if finished using them.

    To exit the EFI environment type ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and returns to the service processor Main Menu. To exit the service processor, type X at the Main Menu.

Procedure 8-31 Listing the Local nPartition Number (nPartition Commands)

From the command line, issue the parstatus -w command to list the local nPartition number.

  1. Login to a system with the nPartition commands installed.

    If using remote administration features to list a local nPartition number, you can login to any system with Enhanced nPartition Commands installed.

    Only remote management using WBEM involves remote management on a local nPartition. Remote management using IPMI over LAN does not support listing a local nPartition number, because the remote access point is the service processor (MP or GSP) of a remote complex.

  2. Issue the parstatus -w command to list the local nPartition number.
