NAME

parunlock — unlock stable complex profile or cancel pending changes to complex or partition configuration data

SYNOPSIS

parunlock -p PartitionNumber [-s] [-d] [-P] [-c cell] [ [ -u username [:] -h IPaddress|hostname ] | [ -g -h IPaddress|hostname ] ]

parunlock -s [-d] [-P] [-c cell] [-p PartitionNumber] [ [ -u username [:] -h IPaddress|hostname ] | [ -g -h IPaddress|hostname ] ]

parunlock -d [-s] [-P] [-c cell] [-p PartitionNumber] [ [ -u username [:] -h IPaddress|hostname ] | [ -g -h IPaddress|hostname ] ]

parunlock -c cell [-d] [-s] [-P] [-p PartitionNumber] [ [ -u username [:] -h IPaddress|hostname ] | [ -g -h IPaddress|hostname ] ]

parunlock -P [-A] [-s] [-d] [-c cell] [-p PartitionNumber] [ [ -u username [:] -h IPaddress|hostname ] | [ -g -h IPaddress|hostname ] ]

parunlock -A [-P] [ [ -u username [:] -h IPaddress|hostname ] | [ -g -h IPaddress|hostname ] ]

DESCRIPTION

The parunlock command unlocks the specified Partition Configuration Data, the Dynamic Complex Configuration Data, the Stable Complex Configuration Data, or the cell data; or cancels pending changes to the Stable Complex Configuration Data; or any combination of these.

This command should be used with caution. It should be used only when the system resources are locked due to the abnormal termination of any partition command or other similar applications.

Superuser permission is required to run this command on the local partition. If the -u or -g option is used to access a remote partition or complex, superuser permission is not required on the local system, and the local system need not exist on an nPartition. If the -u option is specified, username on the remote host must have superuser permission or the command will fail.

Refer to the nPartition Administrator's Guide for a description of the partition management terms used in this man page.

Options and Arguments

parunlock recognizes the following command line options and arguments:

-p PartitionNumber

Unlocks the Partition Configuration Data of the specified target partition on the target complex. PartitionNumber specifies the unique number (integer) assigned to the partition when it was created.

-A

Unlocks the Stable Complex Configuration Data, the Dynamic Complex Configuration Data, the Partition Configuration Data of all the partitions on the target complex and the cell data of all the cells in the target complex.

-c cell

Unlocks the cell data of the specified cell. A cell can be specified either in the local (cabinet#/slot#) or global (cell#) format. For example, the cell located in cabinet 0, slot 1 is identified in the local format as 0/1 or in the global format as 1.

-d

Unlocks the Dynamic Complex Configuration Data of the target complex.

-g

Allows access to the complex specified by the -h option. The accessed complex is then considered the target complex. Access is through the service processor's LAN port.

The -h option is required if this option is used.

If this option is specified, the command prompts for the password.

If an error is reported when you attempt to connect using this option, check to see that IPMI LAN access has not been disabled on the remote service processor. Access to the complex through IPMI over LAN can be enabled or disabled by logging on to the service processor and using the SA command from the Command Menu.

The -u and -g options are mutually exclusive.

-h IPaddress|hostname

This option should only be used in combination with either the -u or -g option. IPaddress|hostname specifies the IP address or hostname of the target partition (-u) or complex (-g).

-P

Cancels any pending changes to the Stable Complex Configuration Data of the target complex.

-s

Unlocks the Stable Complex Configuration Data of the target complex.

-u username[:]

Specifies the required authorization to access a partition other than the local partition (but can also be used as a loopback access to the local partition). The complex to be modified is the one in which this target partition resides.

The -h option is required if this option is used.

If this option is specified, the command prompts for the password.

username specifies a configured user name on the target partition.

Note: This command is a Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) Client Application. The -u option accesses the target partition using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection. If errors are reported, check that the conditions described in the DEPENDENCIES section are satisfied.

Mapping of Global Cell Numbers to Local Cell Numbers

The cabinets in a complex are numbered starting from 0. The cell slots in each cabinet are also numbered starting from 0. Each cabinet can have a maximum of 8 cells. For example, the cells located in cabinet 0 will have the following cell numbers in global format: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The cell numbers in corresponding local format will be 0/0, 0/1, 0/2, 0/3, 0/4, 0/5, 0/6, 0/7.

Similarly the cells located in cabinet 1 will have the following cell numbers in global format: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. The cell numbers in corresponding local format will be 1/0, 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7.

From the above convention the cell located in cabinet 1, slot 0 is identified in the local format as 1/0 or in the global format as 8. The parstatus command will display the above cell as "cab1,cell0". The cell located in cabinet 1, slot 4 is identified in the local format as 1/4 or in the global format as 12. The parstatus command will display the above cell as "cab1,cell4". See parstatus(1).

RETURN VALUE

The parunlock command exits with one of the following values:

0: Successful completion.
1: Error condition occurred.

EXAMPLES

Unlock the Partition Configuration Data of the partition whose partition number is 2.

parunlock -p 2 

Unlock the cell data of the cell 2.

parunlock -c 2 

Unlock the Stable Complex Configuration Data on the local complex.

parunlock -s 

Unlock the Dynamic Complex Configuration Data on the local complex.

parunlock -d 

Unlock the Stable Complex Configuration Data, the Dynamic Complex Configuration Data, the Partition Configuration Data of all the partitions on the local complex and the cell data of all the cells in the local complex.

parunlock -A  

DEPENDENCIES

This command uses the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) product and some of its configuration settings. If you encounter connection errors when using the -u option, check that the following two conditions are satisfied:

Use the cimconfig command (see cimconfig(1M) in the WBEM product documentation) to verify (and correct if necessary) the setting of the following two variables:
- enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess=true
- enableHttpsConnection=true
The target partition's digital certificate has been appended to the local partition's Shared Authentication Store. For the nPartition commands, the Shared Authentication Store is stored in the file: /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/known_hosts.pem. This file is used by all the clients, which use SSL based certificates. If these clients trust a target partition, then the nPartition commands will also trust the target partition.

Refer to the WBEM documents specified in the SEE ALSO section below for further information.
