v
vparstatus(1M) vparstatus(1M)
The machine-readable format displays the same information as the detailed format, except that field
descriptive headers are omitted, and the information is all on one line. Individual fields are separated
from each other by four delimiters. The delimiters are all described later.
A related display,
-A shows all unassigned (available) resources, either one per line (default) or
machine-readable (
-M).
CPU configuration (-d): There are three formats for display of CPU configuration information, and
they are similar to those used for vPars. If neither the
-v nor -M option is specified, a summary display
is produced. The
-v option produces a detailed format, while the
-M option results in a machine-
readable format.
Five additional formats are provided for the
-R
, -V, -e, -m, and -w options.
When displaying vPar-related information,
vparstatus includes the following:
The version of the command output format (only if
-V has been specified).
The name of the virtual partition (limited to 30 characters in summary format)
The state of the virtual partition. Possible states are listed below.
Up: The virtual partition has notified the monitor that it is up. This is the normal state of a
running virtual partition. However, it does not necessarily mean that the virtual partition
has completed its initialization and is fully operational.
Down: The virtual partition is fully halted. This could be the result of a normal
/etc/shutdown
-h command, or a vparreset of a partition with its autoboot attribute set to manual.It
is also the initial state of a virtual partition immediately after the virtual partition monitor
is started.
Load: The monitor is loading the kernel image of the virtual partition. This state precedes the
Boot state.
Boot: The virtual partition has been launched, but has not completely booted.
Crash: The virtual partition is shutting down ungracefully (due to either a panic or a reset)
Shut: The virtual partition is shutting down gracefully
Hung: The virtual partition has stopped sending heartbeat messages to the monitor.
N/A: The virtual partition is in an alternate database file that is not active, and so has no state.
The static/dynamic resource attribute
The auto/manual boot attribute
The search/nosearch boot attribute
The path to the kernel (limited to 23 characters in summary format)
The boot options (limited to 5 characters in summary format)
Summary of detailed CPU, I/O, and memory resource allocations. The summary memory allocation
display includes a count of Cell Local Memory (CLM) and InterLeaved Memory (ILM) ranges (both
user-specified and monitor-assigned), total megabytes for each memory type, and the granularity
(least common multiple) of each memory type. The detailed and machine-readable displays include
the actual memory base and size for each range, and the granularity of each memory type.
All CPUs except the vPars boot processor may be assigned to or de-assigned from a running vPar. The
total count of assigned CPUs is comprised of several sub-counts. De-assignment must come from the
same count as assignment. Refer to the vparresources (5) manpage for details.
Assignment or de-assignment of CPUs is called CPU migration and requires a certain amount of time,
especially if a CPU is being deleted from a vPar. A CPU being added is immediately assigned to its tar-
get vPar. A CPU being deleted remains assigned to its vPar and does not appear in a
vparstatus -A
display until migration has completely finished.
Migrating CPUs are indicated in the various displays as follows:
Summary format: A letter
p in the column following the Num CPUs count indicates that one or
more CPUs are migrating in or out of a vPar.
Detail format: Any CPU that is migrating in or out is indicated by the additional string,
migra-
tion pending.
