HP vPars and Integrity Virtual Machines V6.1 Administrator Guide

By default, the vparstatus command displays summary information. To view detailed information
you must use the -v option. You can also view the vPar information in machine-readable format
using the -M option.
The information that the vparstatus command (and hpvmstatus command) displays includes
the following:
• Number and name of the vPar.
• State of the vPar – active or inactive.
• Run-state of the active or inactive vPar.
• Summary of CPU, I/O, and memory resource allocations.
In both summary and detailed machine-readable format, the following information for the
specified vPar is displayed:
◦ Total memory size in MB.
◦ The number of CPUs assigned to the virtual partition.
◦ The virtual I/O devices assigned to the virtual partition in the resource statement format.
To view summary information about all the vPars, run the following command:
# vparstatus
To view the detailed attributes and resources of a specific virtual partition named vpar1, run the
following command:
# vparstatus -p vpar1 -v
To view the detailed attributes and resources of a specific virtual partition named vpar1 in
machine-readable format, run the following command:
# vparstatus -p vpar1 -M
To view the revisions of partition management tools, run the following command:
# vparstatus -r
6.5 Resetting a virtual partition
When a virtual partition is unresponsive, instead of shutting down the vPar, you can reset or restart
the vPar.
CAUTION: When the vparreset command is used accidentally, serious consequences can
occur. Hence, the -f (force) option is required with the command.
You can perform any of the different reset operations described here.
Hard reset
The hard reset is equivalent to specifying RS command in the management processor. You should
only do a hard reset if you cannot get the OS to issue its own reboot or shutdown process. The
virtual partition will be restarted after the hard reset.
To hard reset a vPar named Oslo, run the following command:
vparreset -f -p Oslo -h
Power off
The power off option -d is useful to break out of a reboot loop, that is, when you do not want the
vPar to be rebooted. In such a case, you must manually restart the vPar using the vparboot
command.
To power off a vPar named Oslo, run the following command:
