HP-UX Reference (11i v1 05/09) - 1 User Commands N-Z (vol 2)

p
parstatus(1) parstatus(1)
username specifies a configured user name on the target partition. If
-u username is
specified, the command will prompt for the password associated with the username.
Note: This command is a Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) Client Application.
The
-u option accesses the target partition using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection.
If errors are reported, check that the conditions described in the DEPENDENCIES section
are satisfied.
Note: If the commands are used in a script, the user password must be passed in a secured
way. For example,
1. Save the user password in a variable and pass it to the command as,
echo $passwd | parstatus -X -u username -h hostname/IP
2. Save the user password in a file and pass the file as input to the command like,
parstatus -X -u username -h hostname/IP < passwd_file
Note, for security reason, protect the file that has the user password by removing read
permissions for non-privileged users.
-h IPaddress|hostname
This option should only be used in combination with either the -u or -g option.
IPaddress|hostname specifies the IP address or hostname of the target partition (
-u)or
complex (
-g).
-g Allows access to the complex specified by the -h option. The accessed complex is then con-
sidered the target complex. Access is via the service processor’s LAN port.
The -h option is required if this option is used.
If -g is specified, the IPMI password of the service processor should be passed when
prompted.
If an error is reported when you attempt to connect using this option, check to see that
IPMI LAN access has not been disabled on the remote service processor. Access to the
complex via IPMI over LAN can be enabled or disabled by logging on to the service proces-
sor and using the SA command from the Command Menu.
The -u and -g options are mutually exclusive.
Note: If the commands are used in a script, the IPMI password must be passed in a
secured way. For example,
1. Save the user password in a variable and pass it to the command as,
echo $passwd | parstatus -X -g -h hostname/IP
2. Save the user password in a file and pass the file as input to the command like,
parstatus -X -g -h hostname/IP < passwd_file
Note, for security reason, protect the file that has the IPMI password by removing read
permissions for non-privileged users.
-w Display the local partition number in a full sentence. If the -u option connects to another
partition, that partition number is reported instead. The -M option restricts the display to
just the partition number.
-X Display the complex attributes.
-A Only display the available resources in the complex.
-V Verbose mode. Increase the amount of information displayed. Additional information
displayed with -V includes:
For Cabinet:
* Status of each of the cabinet blower(s)
* Status of each of the I/O fan(s)
* Status of each of the bulk power supply(s)
* Status of each of the backplane power board(s)
