For more information on manpage keywords and using catman -w, see the manpage catman(1M)

vPars v6.0 commands logging
The vPar commands that are carried out are logged in the command log file on the VSP, under
/var/opt/hpvm/common/command.log. For example, when the following command is carried
out:
vparcreate -P vpar1
the following entry is logged in the command.log file:
<timestamp>|SUMMARY|CLI|root|vparcreate —P vpar1
vPars v6.0 resources information (vparstatus)
vPars v6.0 resources include CPU, I/O, memory, shared storage resources and shared network
resources. The vparstatus command allows you to view resources information about one or
more virtual partitions. This command must be run from the VSP.
Display formats
You can view the information in various formats.
Hardware resources associated with vPars
The summary format displays the hardware resources associated with one or more virtual partitions.
This is default format. The -v option presents the data (superset of the data) in detailed format,
while the -M option presents it in machine-readable format.
The major fields and their order are name and number, run-state and state, attributes, CPU resources,
I/O resources, memory resources, OLAD status, reboot required, storage and network virtualized
I/O resources, permitted administrators and operators, and remote console IP information. Each
virtual partition is displayed on a separate line. For an explanation of each of the fields, see the
vparstatus3(1) manpage.
Available resources
This format displays the resources currently available, that is, the resources not assigned to any
virtual partition or reserved for the VSP. The -M option presents the same data in machine-readable
format.
For information about parsing the machine-readable output, see the vparstatus3(1) manpage.
Revisions
The revisions of the partition management tools.
Display groups
There are seven display groups: Virtual Partition Details, CPU Details, Memory
Details, OL* Details, Authorized Administrators, Remote Console, and IO
Details. Each is subdivided into one of three listing formats – summary, detailed or verbose,
and machine- readable.
Virtual partitions
If no arguments are supplied, vparstatus displays a summary format of run-state, state, and all
resources of all virtual partitions in the current virtual partition configuration. One or more virtual
partitions may be specified explicitly, to restrict the output to information about the specified virtual
partitions.
