NAME [Toc] [Back]
cplxmodify - modify an attribute of a system complex
SYNOPSIS [Toc] [Back]
cplxmodify [-N ComplexName]
[ -u username:[passwd] -h IPaddress|hostname
| -g [passwd] -h IPaddress|hostname ]
DESCRIPTION [Toc] [Back]
The cplxmodify command modifies attributes of the complex of a
partitionable system. The command is the equivalent, at the complex
level, of the parmodify command, which modifies attributes of an
nPartition.
The complex to be modified defaults to the local complex, the one on
which the command is run. A remote complex can be identified by
specifying either the -u or -g option in combination with the -h
option.
Root permission is required to run this command on the local
partition. If the -u or -g option is used to access a remote
partition or complex, root permission is not required on the local
system, and the local system need not exist on an nPartition. If the
-u option is specified, username on the remote host must have root
permission or the command will fail.
By the nature of its operation, this command can modify the
configuration of its target complex. Operation can be affected by the
state of the target complex's nPartition Configuration Privilege. If
this privilege is unrestricted (the default), or the complex is
accessed using the -g option, all operations are allowed. Otherwise
the command fails. The -g option is unaffected by the state of the
nPartition Configuration Privilege. Note: This privilege state can
only be changed at the service processor's Command menu.
Please refer to the HP System Partitions Guide for a description of
the partition management terms used in this man page.
Options and Arguments [Toc] [Back]
cplxmodify recognizes the following command line options and
arguments:
-N ComplexName Changes the name of the target complex to ComplexName.
This option may also be used to name a complex for the
first time.
The characters which can appear in a valid complex name
are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, - (dash), _ (underscore), " "
(space) and . (period). If the complex name includes
space, then the name should be enclosed within double
quotes. The complex name can have a maximum of 20

characters.
-u username:[passwd]
Specifies the required authorization to access a
partition other than the local system (but can also be
used as a loopback access to the local partition). The
complex to be modified is the one in which this target
partition resides.
The -h option is required if this option is used.
username specifies a configured user name on the target
partition.
passwd specifies the password associated with the
username. If this field is empty, the command prompts
for the password.
Note: This command is a Web-Based Enterprise
Management (WBEM) Client Application. The -u option
accesses the target partition using a Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) connection. If errors are reported, check
that the conditions described in the DEPENDENCIES
section are satisfied.
SECURITY WARNING: Specifying the password directly on
the command line may pose a security risk in your
environment. The ps(1) or other related commands can
be invoked in such a way as to display the command line
of a process. In this situation, any authenticated
user on the system can potentially see the password
while the process is executing. Hence, it is highly
recommended not to specify the password on the command
line, and instead allow the command to prompt for the
password.
-h IPaddress|hostname
This option should only be used in combination with
either the -u or -g option. IPaddress|hostname
specifies the IP address or hostname of the target
partition (-u) or complex (-g).
-g [passwd] Allows access to the complex specified by the -h
option. The accessed complex is then considered the
target complex. Access is via the service processor's
LAN port.
The -h option is required if this option is used.
passwd specifies the IPMI password of the service
processor. If this field is omitted, the command

prompts for the password.
If an error is reported when you attempt to connect
using this option, check to see that IPMI LAN access
has not been disabled on the remote service processor.
Access to the complex via IPMI over LAN can be enabled
or disabled by logging on to the service processor and
using the SA command from the Command Menu.
The -u and -g options are mutually exclusive.
SECURITY WARNING: Specifying the password directly on
the command line may pose a security risk in your
environment. The ps(1) or other related commands can
be invoked in such a way as to display the command line
of a process. In this situation, any authenticated
user on the system can potentially see the password
while the process is executing. Hence, it is highly
recommended not to specify the password on the command
line, and instead allow the command to prompt for the
password.
RETURN VALUE [Toc] [Back]
The cplxmodify command exits with one of the following values:
0 Successful completion.
1 Error condition occurred.
EXAMPLES [Toc] [Back]
Change the name of the local complex to "Basingstoke".
cplxmodify -N Basingstoke
Change the name of a remote complex to "Ploverleigh". The command
prompts for the password.
cplxmodify -N Ploverleigh -g -h RemoteComplex
DEPENDENCIES [Toc] [Back]
This command uses the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) product
and certain of its configuration settings. If you encounter
connection errors when using the -u option, check that the following
two conditions are satisfied:
+ Use the cimconfig(1M) command to verify (and correct if necessary)
the setting of the following two variables:
+ enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess=true

+ enableHttpsConnection=true
+ You must have appended the target partition's digital certificate
to the local partition's Trust Store file. For the nPartition
commands, the Trust Store file is /var/opt/wbem/client.pem.
Note: You must have appended the target partition's digital
certificate to the local partition's Trust Store file. For the
npartition commands, the Trust Store file is
/var/opt/wbem/client.pem. This file is used by the commands that
come with WBEM installation. Hence, if the commands that come with
the WBEM installation trust a target partition, then npartition
commands will also trust the target partition.
Refer to the WBEM documents specified in the SEE ALSO section below
for further information.
