parunlock Command

The parunlock command unlocks the Stable Complex Configuration Data or Partition Configuration Data.

The Enhanced nPartition Commands version of parunlock also can unlock Dynamic Complex Configuration Data and cell data and can cancel pending changes to the Stable Complex Configuration Data.

Use this command with caution.

Root permission is required to run this command.




	NOTE: On servers based on the HP sx1000 chipset or HP sx2000 chipset, when the nPartition Configuration Privilege is restricted the parunlock command cannot unlock the Partition Configuration Data of non-local nPartitions, cannot unlock the Dynamic Complex Configuration Data or Stable Complex Configuration Data for the local complex, cannot cancel pending changes to the Stable Complex Configuration Data, and cannot unlock the cell data of cells not assigned to the local nPartition. These restrictions do not apply when using the -g... -h... options.

Refer to the parunlock(1M) manpage for details.

Synopsis

parunlock [-p PartitionNumber] [-s] 
parunlock -A

Enhanced nPartition Commands only:

parunlock [-d] [-c cell] [-P]

Enhanced nPartition Commands Notes.

The -u... -h... set of options may be specified to cause the command to send its management request using WBEM to an nPartition other than the local nPartition (but can also be used as a "loopback access" to the local nPartition).
The -g... -h... options may be specified to cause the command to send its management request using IPMI over LAN to a service processor in another server complex (but can also be used as a "loopback access" to the service processor in the local complex).

The -u and -g options are mutually exclusive.

Options

-p PartitionNumber

Unlock the Partition Configuration Data of the specified nPartition.

-s

Unlocks the Stable Complex Configuration Data of the target complex.

-d

Enhanced nPartition Commands only. Unlocks the Dynamic Complex Configuration Data of the target complex.

-c cell

Enhanced nPartition Commands only. Unlocks the cell data of the specified cell.

-P

Enhanced nPartition Commands only. Cancels any pending changes to the Stable Complex Configuration Data of the target complex.

-A

This option differs slightly for the Original nPartition Commands and Enhanced nPartition Commands releases.

For the Original nPartition Commands release, -A unlocks the Stable Complex Configuration Data and the Partition Configuration Data of all the nPartitions in the complex.
For the Enhanced nPartition Commands release, -A unlocks the Complex Configuration Data, the Dynamic Complex Configuration Data, and the Partition Configuration Data of all the nPartitions in the target complex.

-u username

Enhanced nPartition Commands only. Specifies the account and authorization to access an nPartition other than the local nPartition.

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

username specifies a configured user name on the target nPartition.

-g

Enhanced nPartition Commands only. 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 LAN port.The -h option is required if this option is used.

-h IPaddress|hostname

Enhanced nPartition Commands only. This option is only used in combination with either the -u or -g option. IPaddress|hostname specifies the IP address or hostname of the target nPartition (-u) or service processor (-g).
