Hello HP,
Our rp7410 system ( sahp81 ) used to be (fdhp50). Now the MP displays "Part 0" as
fdhp50. I tried the "partmodify" command as follows, but received the following error. Can
you advise how to change the "part 0" to sahp81. Thanks
Jerry Sims

Looks like you have the command right. I guess I would try the xwindows/motif version for the heck of it.

Its in /opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr

Select the partition -> click partition -> modify partition

Change the name and click okay.

Maybe if it doesn't work the error will be more meaningful.

7410's are partitionable so it shouldn't be Unsupported like the error message suggests.

I hv tried using the above commmand in superdomes and got suceeeded.

Did you try using parmgr in GUI mode ?

# /opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr

Received the following message :

"System is not a hardware partitionable system. parmgr cannot be run on this system".

Did this server at one point have 2 npars?
Just wondering since usually if theres only 1 npar "co" just dumps you to the only partition without any prompts.

At least thats what I kind of remember.

[Jerry_109]

Only one partition that I know of.

[Jerry_109]

could there be a patch missing? If so, How do I find out which one?

you might need to change your partition name from the BCH prompt...in the main menu...there should be an option (maybe under configuration). I've setup an RP7410 partition name that way (before we finished building the OS on it). The unfortunate thing is that you have to down your system to do it.
Also make sure to check your patches...there were lots of parmgr patches out there.
