Starting APW

There is no login dialog box for APW. If APW is started from SPM, the user has already logged on as an operator or administrator in SPM. If APW is started from the command line, it runs as the user.

Discovery usually requires a little less than a minute. When APW is run from the AMS over a WAN, discovery may take longer. Please be patient. Upon completion of the discovery process, the Current Partition Map dialog box appears, and the Resources dialog box is available if you click the Resources button.

From the Server Platform Manager (SPM)

You must run APW as root or while logged in as a user in the amsuser group with the administrator role within SPM. From the SPM, select the platform you want to partition by highlighting it, and select APW from the platform's context menu or from the Actions menu.

From the command line

To run APW from the command line, you must be logged on as root on a system running AMS. Type the apw command at the command prompt, providing the name of a platform as an argument. For example:

# /usr/opt/ams/bin/apw rhnat1
