Partition Manager

Jeffrey F. Goldsmith — Thu, 19 Jan 2006 14:58:37 GMT

I opened SAM this morning and tried to get into Partition Manager and received the following error:

com.hp.parmgr.model.DiscoveryError: Error while getting an instance: URL = http://localhost:5988 namespace = root/cimv2/npar name = HP_NParComplex key(s) = [sint32:ProfileID=0].CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED(CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED: The requested operation is not supported: "@31:The system is not using a compatible version of IPMI. The nPartition Provider supports IPMI 1.5.[The system () is using IPMI 1.0]")

Can I find IPMI 1.5 at this site? What is IPMI anyway?

Thanks.

Only software I found related to this was:

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=SYSFAULTMGMT

Man page:

"The /dev/ipmi driver allows user processes to send IPMI messages to the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) System Message Interface."

Hi,

It seems that you are using partition manager version 2.0.
Check the version of System Fault Management (SysFaultMgmt) on the systm using
# swlist -a revision SysFaultMgmt

IPMI is a part of System Fault Management which is used by WBEM and its providers.

The details of IPMI could be found at
http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-1247/ch01s06.html

You may need to install latest version of
SysFaultMgmt.

root: / ==> swlist -a revision SysFaultMgmt
# Initializing...

ERROR: Software "SysFaultMgmt" was not found on host "gravina:/".

I checked the website for System Fault Management and found that it isn't supported on my rp3440-4 server.

The RP3440 isn't a partitionable supported server.

Lowest model is the RP7420 (or older RP7410).

Hi,

Aah!! rp3440 server!!
It is not partitionable (npar capable) server. I know even on non-partitionable server and is "vpar" supported, partition manager s/w is a requirement of "vpar" software. Saying that, "vpar" software uses partition manager for its operation.

As far as the IPMI is concerned for this server , MP/iLO does provide IPMI support. You can check the MP/iLO and IPMI version using MP Interface.
MP > CM > SYSREV

You may need to upgrade the MP/iLO firmware.
