• Machine readable format: A separate list of migrating CPUs is added to the display following the
list of monitor-assigned CPUs. If no CPU is migrating, this list is empty.
Refer to the EXAMPLES section below.
Assignment or de-assignment of memory is called memory migration and requires a certain amount of
time, especially if memory is being deleted from a vPar. Memory being added is immediately assigned to
its target vPar. Memory being deleted remains assigned to its vPar and does not appear in a
vpar-
status -A display until migration has completely finished.
Migrating memory is indicated in the various displays as follows:
• Summary format: A letter
p in the column following the ILM size indicates that ILM memory is
migrating in or out of a vPar.
A letter
p in the column following the CLM size indicates that CLM memory is migrating in or out of
avPar.
• Detail format: Any memory by size or range that is migrating in or out is indicated by the addi-
tional string,
migration pending.
• Machine readable format: If there is any pending memory migration, the last sub-field in the
memory field will have the letter
p
. If no memory is migrating, this field will be empty.
Refer to the EXAMPLES section below.
Virtual partitions may be configured on a partitionable platform such as the HP Superdome.
Configuration changes made to the underlying hard partition do not become effective until all virtual par-
titions on that hard partition have been shut down and the virtual partition monitor has been rebooted.
If a configuration change is pending, the command displays a message to that effect following any sum-
mary or detailed display. Refer to "Performing a Reboot for Reconfig for an nPartition" in the nPartition
Administrator’s Guide for more information. If the
-M option has been specified for either the configured
resources or available resources, the configuration change message is replaced by an additional field
appended to the machine-readable output. Refer to the description of the
-M option.
When displaying CPU configuration information,
vparstatus includes the following:
• The version of the command output format (only if
-V has been specified).
• The hardware path of each specified CPU.
• The Hardware Physical Address (HPA) (PA platform) of the processor, or the contents of the
processor’s Local ID (LID) register (Itanium-based platforms).
• The CellID of the cell on which the CPU resides.
• The status of the CPU, displayed as one or more of the following: Enabld, Inactv, Failed, MarkDC,
Pendng
• The name of the vPar, if any, to which the CPU is assigned.
• If the CPU is one of multiple cores on the same socket, the paths and assigned vPars of all its siblings.
Options
vparstatus recognizes the following command line options and arguments:
-p vp_name
Restricts the command display to information about vp_name . By default, information
about all virtual partitions in the monitor database or specified alternate partition database
is displayed. Multiple vp_name s may be specified, except when used to display PIM data or
available resources.
-D db_file Displays information from the alternate partition database file db_file rather than from the
monitor database. Exception: If the monitor is running and db_file specifies the file origi-
nally loaded into the monitor, information is from the monitor’s copy of the database.
The attributes and resources of a vPar in an alternate database file were specified in either
the
vparcreate or vparmodify command, but have not necessarily been checked for
existence on a running system. They are referred to as "requested" information. Existence
of the attributes and resources of a vPar in the live monitor database have been verified;
they are referred to as "effective" information.
