» Preview the Command
» Complete the Wizard

This is the final step of the create nPartition wizard. In this step you will be shown the command that Partition Manager will use to create the partition. When you finish this step, the nPartition will be created.

For an overview of the entire create nPartition wizard, refer to the parent help topic, create nPartition. For a guide to nPartition configuration requirements and recommendations, refer to the configuration guide.

Preview the Command

The following information is displayed in this step.

  1. The steps that Partition Manager will perform when you click the [Finish] button.

  2. Instructions for booting the nPartition. These instructions are only displayed if you selected Manually boot later via the service processor's Command Menu at the set boot options step. Otherwise, Partition Manager will automatically boot the nPartition to the system firmware user interface after it has been created. On PA-RISC systems the boot console handler will provide the interface to specify the boot device. On Itanium®-based systems the EFI Boot Manager will provide the interface to specify the boot device.

  3. The command that Partition Manager will use to create the nPartition. This command is displayed so that you can verify that the correct options are being used to create the nPartition, and so that you can understand the relationship between Partition Manager options and command options. For detailed information about command options, consult the parcreate(1M) manpage.

    In some cases, you may want to copy this command and save it to a script file by cutting and pasting from your browser window. This gives you a way to quickly recreate this configuration as part of a backup and recovery strategy, or as a way to duplicate this configuration on other complexes.

Complete the Wizard

When you complete this step, you will have finished the create nPartition wizard. Partition Manager will execute the displayed command, creating the new nPartition. Partition Manager will then display the partition scope hardware view for the new nPartition.

Avoid using your browser's “Back” and “Forward” buttons in Partition Manager (except in the online help). When you use these buttons, Partition Manager cannot tell that you have changed to a different view. This can cause problems, including incorrectly displaying which objects are selected in the current view. Instead, use the links and navigation buttons provided by Partition Manager.

If you do use your browser's “Back” or “Forward” buttons, you can refresh the displayed data by clicking the Partition Manager [Refresh] button at the top right of the window, or by selecting the ToolsRefresh Data action from the actions menu.

[< Back]

Go back to the previous step. You can keep clicking [< Back] until you return to the start of the wizard, or resume from any previous step. Once you go back to a previous step, any steps ahead of that will need to be completed again, in the proper sequence.

[Finish]

Accept the information provided in this step, and complete the wizard. This is your last chance to change your mind before finishing this operation. Once you click the [Finish] button you will not be able to go back to this step, or any previous step of this wizard.

[Cancel]

Exit this wizard without completing this step or any further steps. Any information provided so far will be discarded.

[Help]

Display help on this step of the wizard, using a new browser window.
