Partition Manager
To start Partition Manager, a user with Administrator (root) privileges can run the parmgr command with
the -b option to bypass the authentication step under HP SMH. To use this feature on HP-UX 11i v1, you
must install KRNG11i, the Strong Random Number Generator software for HPUX 11i v1, available from the
Software Depot web site at http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot.
Available IP addresses
In HP-UX only, when autostart mode is enabled, any access made through port 2301 detects a change in
the list of available IP addresses. In previous releases, SMH would only be accessible using the IP addresses
defined at system startup. If new IP addresses were defined then SMH would have to be restarted to use
them.
With this new SMH feature, any configuration change in the list of available IP addresses, in clustered and
non-clustered environments, would automatically reconfigure SMH, restarting it when needed. Environment
