nPartition Configuration Privilege
The task is not allowed because nPartition Configuration Privilege is
set to "restricted" in the complex.
[task-specific details]
See help for more information about the restrictions that exist when
nPartition Configuration Privilege is set to "restricted".
| Origin: attempting any modification of the complex
You are not allowed to perform the requested action when
nPartition Configuration Privilege is set to
“restricted”, unless Partition Manager is
connected directly to the service processor of the
complex.
For more information about nPartition Configuration Privilege, including how
it affects the actions that can be performed in Partition Manager and how to
reset it to “unrestricted”, refer to configuration privilege.
If you want to keep this privilege restricted, you can connect to the
service processor of the complex and retry the action that generated this
message.
Click [OK] to return to the previous view.
If there was no previous view, you will go to the
complex scope hardware view. From there, use the

Parmgr Error (Connection refused)
A new client connection to the CIM Object Manager cannot be created.
CIMCLIENT_ERR_CONNECTION_FAILED(Connection refused)
| Origin: attempting to connect to a remote nPartition
The WBEM services provider on the remote nPartition is not
responding to https connection requests. On HP-UX, the
CIM server implements the Common Information Model for HP
WBEM Services. On Microsoft® Windows® these services are
provided by WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation).
For information about configuring the WBEM services provider, refer to the
WBEM services help topic.

Parmgr Error (Couldn't find trusted certificate)
Error while getting an instance: ...
Couldn't find trusted certificate
| Origin: attempting to connect to a remote nPartition
The client system's Certificate Trust Store does not include the server
certificates from the remote nPartition. For
information about exporting and importing SSL certificates, refer to the
managing SSL certificates
help topic.

Synchronization
The following messages relate to synchronization issues including lock contention
and pending profiles.
Lock Contention
[The text of this message will vary depending on which information is
locked and unavailable to Partition Manager.]
| Origin: starting Partition Manager, starting an action from the menu, refreshing data
Read and write locks are used to synchronize access to complex and nPartition information.
Usually, lock contention is a transient condition that is
automatically resolved. When a lock is held for an abnormally long time (for example,
when the process that holds the lock terminates abnormally), you can forcibly release it.
Stale locks are automatically broken after they have been held for 25 minutes.
This message identifies each lock that Partition Manager was not able to obtain.
If you click [Cancel], Partition Manager will ignore the locks and continue
without the information it needs. This is usually not
a good idea, since Partition Manager may not be able to display up to date
information, and some actions cannot be performed successfully.
To correct the lock contention, either wait for the locks to be released or
break the locks held by other processes.
For each locked object, use the radio buttons to select either
Break or Wait.
- Break
The lock held by the other process will be broken, allowing
Partition Manager to obtain the lock needed to complete the current
action. If the other process has not yet terminated, then it will
fail because it no longer holds the lock needed to complete its
operation successfully.
- Wait
Partition Manager will wait for the lock to be released before
continuing. This is the default selection. The following
paragraphs explain what happens while you are waiting for locks to
be released.
When you have made your selections, click [OK]. If you selected
Wait for any locked objects, you will be shown a
Waiting for Locked Objects screen, which periodically
checks to see if the locks have been released while displaying the amount
of time spent waiting. When the locks are released, this screen will be
replaced by a screen informing you that the locks have been released. Click
[close] to continue with the operation that detected the
lock contention.
While you are waiting for locks to be released, you can click [Cancel]
to stop waiting. You will be returned to the Lock
Contention message, where you can again choose either to break
or wait for the remaining locks.

Pending Profile Warning
Changes to the Stable Complex Configuration Data (SCCD) are
pending. These changes have not completed in the usual period of time
required or they may require a partition to be shut down or rebooted for
reconfiguration (and the shut down or reboot has not been done). The
pending SCCD may also indicate a system problem. No other changes can be
made that affect the SCCD until the changes are complete or the problem
is resolved. Additionally, the data shown by Partition Manager will not
reflect the pending changes.
message may include: message may include:
You may:
Click [Cancel Profile] to stop the current reconfiguration (the
pending changes to the SCCD will be lost, possibly leaving the
complex in an inconsistent state).
Click [Wait] for Partition Manager to wait for the reconfiguration
to complete.
Click [Continue] to proceed without waiting. If this option is
chosen:
Subsequent commands may fail if the reconfiguration of the
SCCD has not completed.
Other complex data may appear to be inconsistent.
| Origin: starting Partition Manager, starting an action from the menu, refreshing data
This message indicates that an update to the Stable Complex
Configuration Data (SCCD) has not finished when
expected. The most likely cause is that a configuration change has been
requested that requires one or more nPartitions to be shutdown or rebooted for
reconfiguration. The change to the SCCD will remain pending
until the shutdown for reconfiguration has occurred.
If you click [Continue], Partition Manager will ignore the
pending profile and continue. This is usually not a
good idea, since Partition Manager may not display up to date information, and
some actions cannot be performed successfully.
If you click [Cancel Profile], the pending profile will
be discarded. Any changes to the complex configuration implied by that
profile will be ignored. The operation that caused the pending profile will
fail.
Example 1 Deleting an Active nPartition
When an active nPartition is deleted, the change to
the SCCD is pending until a shutdown for reconfiguration is performed on
the nPartition. Until that occurs, Partition Manager will report the
Pending Profile Warning. If this pending profile
is canceled, the nPartition will not be deleted, even after it is shut
down for reconfiguration. However, the Partition Configuration
Data (PCD) for this nPartition will have been
removed. If you decide not to delete the nPartition, you will have to use
the Modify nPartition action to
restore the missing nPartition information.
To wait for the reconfiguration to finish, click
[Wait]. You will be shown a Waiting for
Pending Profile screen, which periodically checks to see if the
reconfiguration has finished while displaying the amount of time spent
waiting. When the reconfiguration has finished, this screen will be
replaced by a screen informing you that it is finished. Click
[close] to continue with the operation that detected
the pending profile.
While you are waiting for the reconfiguration to finish, you can click
[Cancel] to stop waiting. You will be returned to the
Pending Profile Warning message, where you can again
choose either to cancel the pending profile or wait for it to finish.

I/O
The following message relates to actions on I/O slots and I/O cards.
I/O Data Unavailable
The requested I/O action requires the HP-UX Peripheral Device Tool
(pdweb) to be running on the
specified nPartition. This tool
is only available on nPartitions running HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) December
2006, %currentRelease1123;, or later.
The pdweb tool can be started on an nPartition running HP-UX
by running sam(1m) or pdweb(1m). The pdweb tool can be configured to
start on demand using waconf(1m).
Retry this action after starting or configuring pdweb on the specified
nPartition.
Click [Close Window] to close this window.
| Origin: performing an action on an I/O slot
When an I/O slot action is selected from the actions menu, Partition Manager will attempt
to launch the HP-UX Peripheral Device Tool (pdweb) to perform the action. This tool
is only available on nPartitions running HP-UX 11i v1 (B.11.11) December
2006, , or later. If HP-UX Peripheral Device Tool is
not running on the selected nPartition, and it is not configured to start on demand,
Partition Manager cannot perform any actions on I/O slots or I/O cards.
Within the HP-UX Peripheral Device Tool, you can view all devices on the nPartition and
configure I/O slots and I/O cards. HP-UX Peripheral Device Tool can only perform these functions on I/O
card slots that are in an active I/O chassis in an
active nPartition.
Online help is available from the HP-UX Peripheral Device Tool actions menu. For additional information,
refer to the pdweb(1M) and
waconf(1M)
manpages.
On nPartitions running earlier versions of HP-UX, use
sam(1M) to display I/O device information.
On nPartitions running a Microsoft® Windows® operating system,
I/O device information can be viewed through the Device Manager.
