About This View
This view displays complex-wide information and a summary table
showing the number of powered-on hardware resources in the complex.
General Complex Properties
The General Complex Properties table shows the attributes
of the HP server system that comprises the complex.
Table 1 Fields of the General Complex Properties Table Complex Name |
The name that identifies this complex. This is a string up to 20
characters long. Spaces, punctuation, and most other non-alphanumeric
characters can be used (except that the first character cannot be a
space). The complex name is just a description of the complex; it does
not have any significance to Partition Manager, and it does not have to be
unique. However, to avoid confusion, it is strongly recommended that
you assign a unique name to each complex.
You can change the complex name by selecting the
Complex Set Complex Name
action.
| Product Name |
The server product name associated with the complex.
| Serial Number |
The serial number of the server complex.
| Product Number - Current |
The original product number is assigned by the factory. If a field
upgrade has been performed, the Field Support Engineer may have assigned
a new product number to match the upgraded configuration. Otherwise,
this will be the same as the original product number.
| Product Number - Original |
The product number that was assigned by the factory.
| Complex Profile Revision |
Revision number that identifies the internal format of the
Complex Profile. This ensures that profile
information will be correctly interpreted even if the format of that
information changes in future releases.
| Active Service Processor Location |
The cabinet that contains the active service
processor. A complex can contain multiple service
processors, but only one can be active. Depending on your server model,
the cabinet number may be followed by an additional core
I/O number.
|
Summary of Components
The Summary of Components table displays the number of each
type of hardware resource that is powered-on in the complex.
Table 2 Fields of the Summary of Components Table Compute Cabinets |
The number of powered-on Compute cabinets in the complex.
| I/O Cabinets |
The number of powered-on I/O Expansion cabinets
in the complex.
| nPartitions |
The number of active nPartitions in the complex.
| Cells |
The number of powered-on cells
in the complex.
| CPUs |
The number of powered-on CPUs across all the cells in the complex.
| DIMMs |
The number of powered-on DIMMs
across all the cells in the complex.
| Memory |
The total amount of memory (in gigabytes) on all the powered-on DIMMs in
the complex.
| I/O Chassis |
The number of powered-on I/O chassis connected to
powered-on cells in the complex.
| I/O Cards |
The number of I/O cards installed in powered-on I/O card slots in powered-on
I/O chassis connected to powered-on cells in the complex.

Actions
At the right side of each view is a menu of actions that
Partition Manager can perform. These actions are grouped into six submenus. To expand
a submenu, click on the
icon to the left
of the submenu name. The actions under that submenu will be
shown, and the icon will change to
.
Click on that icon to collapse the submenu. The actions under the submenu will be
hidden, and the icon will change back to
.
When Partition Manager begins, each submenu is collapsed. When you
change views, submenus that you have expanded will remain
expanded, and submenus that are collapsed will remain collapsed.
Not all actions appear in the menu in each view.
Some actions that do appear in the menu are disabled under certain conditions.
Actions that are disabled are dimmed in the menu and cannot be clicked.
Actions are enabled or disabled based on the current state of the
system and which objects are currently selected.
If you position the mouse cursor over the name of an action without clicking,
a pop-up tool tip will appear.
If the action is currently enabled, the text will explain what the action does.
If the action is currently disabled, the text will explain why it is disabled.
The following table shows the actions that are enabled in this view. Actions that
cannot be enabled in this view are not included.
To the right of each submenu and action is a brief
description, including any requirements for the action to be
enabled. If the required conditions are not met, then the
action will be dimmed in the menu, and it cannot be
selected. Click on an action name to go to the detailed
help for that action.
Table 3 Actions Menu ![[-]](menu_close.gif) | Complex |
Actions associated with the overall complex. These actions are
enabled in all views.

Turn off all attention indicators.
| | |
Display a text report showing the detailed composition and status of the
entire complex.
| ![[-]](menu_close.gif) | nPartition |
Actions associated with one or more existing nPartitions.
Create nPartition is
enabled in all views. Other nPartition actions
are enabled when an nPartition is selected, or implicitly
selected in the current scope.
In a cell scope or I/O chassis scope the nPartition
containing the cell or I/O chassis is considered implicitly
selected.
| | |
Start the create nPartition
wizard to create a new nPartition. Required:
there must be free cells in the complex. There must not
be any non-free cells selected. Optional: if any free cells are
selected, those cells will be pre-selected in the Select Cells step of the
wizard.
