parstatus

This server is not partitioned.

I'm getting this error message.
Where and how can I update IPMI?

serverA:/# /usr/sbin/parstatus
Note: No action specified. Default behavior is display all.
CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED: THE REQUESTED OPERATION IS NOT SUPPORTED.: "HPNPAR31:@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]"
Note: Unable to get any HP_NParComplex information.
Error: Cannot determine if platform is partitionable.

A blade is not a cell-based server, npartitions are not supported on this system, see

If I run the command on a rx2600 (certainly not a partitionable platform) I get

# parstatus
Note: No action specified. Default behavior is display all.
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]"
Note: Unable to get any HP_NParComplex information.
Error: Cannot determine if platform is partitionable.

The result is not that nice, but the

REQUESTED OPERATION IS NOT SUPPORTED

is true.

The result of my old B180L is better:

parstatus
Note: No action specified. Default behavior is display all.
CIM_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED: THE REQUESTED OPERATION IS NOT SUPPORTED.: "@30:The platform is not supported.[]"
Note: Unable to get any HP_NParComplex information.
Error: Unsupported platform.

But anyway, the command is not supported on your platform.
