vPars Monitor Information Lookup Commands
This section explains the vPars monitor information lookup commands.
bootpath
The bootpath command can be used to display monitor boot path.
cat filename [openonly]
The
cat command is similar to the HP-UX
cat command. However, only one filename may be specified.
When the optional string
openonly is given, the command will return after printing
open suc-
ceeded if it was able to open the file in read-only mode.
This command is applicable for PA-RISC platforms only.
cbuf vpar_name
The
cbuf command can be used to dump contents of console buffer for the virtual partition vpar_name .
This command is applicable for PA-RISC platforms only.
getauto
The getauto command lists the contents of the AUTO file in the LIF directory. When the system is
booting up and when the global automatic booting is true, the ISL reads the contents of this file to load
the appropriate OS. For vpars, set this file with the hpux /stand/vpmon -a
command to make the
system boot all the vpars whose autoboot is set on.
This command is applicable for PA-RISC platforms only.
lifls [directory_name]
The
lifls command can be used to list the contents of the LIF directory on the boot device.
This command is applicable for PA-RISC platforms only.
log
The log command can be used to view the event log.
ls [-a|-l|-n|-i|-F|-H][directory_name]
The
ls command is similar to the HP-UX ls command. However, only one target directory may be
given. If more than one directory is given, the contents of the last directory are listed. If no target direc-
tory is given, the contents of the current directory (for example, the /stand directory) are listed.
This command is applicable for PA-RISC platforms only.
release
The release command can be used to display release version information for the monitor.
scan
The scan command does a scan of the system bus. For each resource on the bus, it prints the legacy
hardware path of the resource, the type of resource, and the name of the partition that owns the resource.
vparinfo [vpar_name]
The
vparinfo command displays a list of resources that have been assigned to a particular partition or
that are not yet unassigned.
Unassigned resources are displayed when vpar_name is not specified. These unassigned resources
include free local bus adapters and resources shared between more than one partition such as memory
controller and system bus adapters. Also displayed information includes partition names, size of free
memory, and the ranges of free memory.
When vpar_name is specified, information about that virtual partition is displayed. This information
includes the amount of memory the partition owns, any explicitly specified memory ranges that have been
assigned to the partition, boot device path, the kernel path, boot options, the state of the autoboot flag,
and whether the partition is marked as static or dynamic. If the partition is active, the information also
includes the memory ranges that were assigned to the partition by the vpmon when the partition was
activated.
