The parstatus -P command lists all partitions and shows each
partition’s number and name, the number of cells assigned to it, the
number of active I/O chassis, and the partition’s active core cell.
While a partition is booting, the parstatus command cannot determine
the partition’s I/O chassis and core cell information. When this is the
case parstatus does not count the I/O chassis and reports a question
mark (?) for the core cell. When the partition has completed booting,
parstatus reports all details.
Step 3. To list detailed information about all cells and partitions in the server
complex, issue the parstatus -C command.
The parstatus -C command presents more detailed information about
all cells and partitions. These details include each cell’s status (active,
inactive), its processor and memory configuration, its I/O chassis
connections (if any), the cell’s use-on-next-boot setting, and partition
assignment.
For cells and partitions that have not finished booting, the parstatus
command cannot determine processor, memory, or I/O details and
instead reports a question mark (?) for these details.
