Table 8-1 describes the main hardware and nPartition status tasks and provides brief summaries and references for detailed procedures.

You can perform the status tasks in Table 8-1 “Hardware and nPartition Status Task Summaries” using various tools, including the service processor (MP or GSP), Boot Console Handler (BCH, available only on PA-RISC servers), Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI, available only on HP Integrity servers), nPartition commands, or Partition Manager ( /opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr).

See “Tools for Listing Status” for details.
