DESCRIPTION

The parstatus command displays information about a system complex. If no arguments are supplied, all major components that are physically present in the local complex are listed. A specific component (cell, I/O chassis, cabinet, or partition) may be specified in order to restrict the output to information about that component. Either the -u option or the -g option can be specified to access a remote complex.

Refer to the nPartition Administrator's Guide for a description of the partition management terms used in this man page.

Options and Arguments

parstatus recognizes the following command line options and arguments:

-A

Only display the available resources in the complex. If the -A option is used with other options, an error occurs except when the -A option is used with its related options.

-B

Show information for all cabinets in the complex.

-b cabinet

Show information about the specified cabinet.

-C

Show information for all cells in the complex.

-c cell

Show information about the specified cell. The cell id can be specified either in the local (cabinet#/slot#) or global (cell_ID) format. For example, the cell located in cabinet 0, slot 1 is locally identified as 0/1 or globally as 1.

-g

Allows access to the complex specified by the -h option. The accessed complex is then considered the target complex. Access is through the service processor's LAN port.

The -h option is required if this option is used.

If this option is specified, 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 through 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.

-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).

-I

Show information for all I/O chassis in the complex.

-i I/Ochassis

Show information about the specified I/Ochassis. The I/Ochassis id can be specified in the form of cabinet#/enclosure#/chassis#. For example, the I/O chassis located in cabinet 0, enclosure 1 and I/O chassis slot 3 is identified as 0/1/3.

-M

Produce a machine readable/parseable output, or restrict the output of the -w option to a partition number. The machine readable output will have the columns separated by a single colon character (:) and will not have a column header.

-P

Show information for all partitions in the complex.

-p PartitionNumber

Show information about the specified partition. PartitionNumber is the unique partition number (integer) which was assigned to the partition when it was created.

-s

Indicates if the command is being executed on a hardware partitionable platform. When this option is specified, the command will either succeed or fail (see RETURN VALUE below) and nothing will be displayed on stdout or stderr.

-T

Only display the Hyper-Threading information for supported systems. If the -T option is used with other options, an error occurs except when the -T option is used with its related options. If the -T option is used on a non-supported system, an error occurs.

-u username[:]

Specifies the required authorization to access a partition other than the local partition (but can also be used as a loopback access to the local partition). If complex attributes are displayed, the complex is the one in which this target partition resides.

The -h option is required if this option is used.

If this option is specified, the command prompts for the password.

username specifies a configured user name on the target partition.

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.

-V

Verbose mode. Increase the amount of information displayed. Additional information displayed with -V includes:

For Cabinet:

* Status of each of the cabinet blower(s)

* Status of each of the I/O fan(s)

* Status of each of the bulk power supply(s)

* Status of each of the backplane power board(s)

For Partition:

* Primary, alternate and secondary boot path settings

* PDC, IODC version numbers

* Memory interleaving / local memory settings

* Cells summary information

* I/O chassis summary information

For Cell:

* Details of each cpu on the cell

* Details of memory on the cell

* Memory interleaving / local memory settings

-w

Display the local partition number in a full sentence. If the -u option connects to another partition, that partition number is reported instead. The -M option restricts the display to just the partition number.

-X

Display the complex attributes.

Mapping of Global Cell Numbers to Local Cell Numbers

The cabinets in a complex are numbered starting from 0. The cell slots in each cabinet are also numbered starting from 0. Each cabinet can have a maximum of 8 cells. For example, the cells located in cabinet 0 will have the following cell numbers in global format: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The cell numbers in corresponding local format will be 0/0, 0/1, 0/2, 0/3, 0/4, 0/5, 0/6, 0/7.

Similarly the cells located in cabinet 1 will have the following cell numbers in global format: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. The cell numbers in corresponding local format will be 1/0, 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7.

From the above convention the cell located in cabinet 1, slot 0 is identified in the local format as 1/0 or in the global format as 8. The parstatus command will display the above cell as "cab1,cell0". The cell located in cabinet 1, slot 4 is identified in the local format as 1/4 or in the global format as 12. The parstatus command will display the above cell as "cab1,cell4".

Cell Types

This sections explains the core and base cell types.

Core Cell

One cell in each nPartition must serve as active core cell. This active core cell is connected to an I/O chasis that has a core I/O. A core cell controls the nPartition until HP-UX is booted. It also provides the console access for the nPartition.

Base Cell

A base cell is a cell that the operating system does not guarantee online deletable in terms of how the cell resources are used. Interleaved memory can only be allocated from base cells. The HP-UX 11i utilities for managing nPartitions automatically set the cell type to base cell if you do not specify the cell type.

RETURN VALUE

The parstatus command exits with one of the following values:

0: Successful completion.
1: Error condition occurred.

EXAMPLES

DEPENDENCIES

This command uses the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) product and some 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 command (see cimconfig(1M) in the WBEM product documentation) to verify (and correct if necessary) the setting of the following two variables:
- enableRemotePrivilegedUserAccess=true
- enableHttpsConnection=true
The target partition's digital certificate has been appended to the local partition's Shared Authentication Store. For the nPartition commands, the Shared Authentication Store is stored in the file: /etc/opt/hp/sslshare/known_hosts.pem. This file is used by all the clients, which use SSL based certificates. If these clients trust a target partition, then the nPartition commands will also trust the target partition.

Refer to the WBEM documents specified in the SEE ALSO section below for further information.
