NAME
vparstatus - display information about one or more virtual partitions
SYNOPSIS
vparstatus [-v | -M][-V
][-p vp_name]... [-D db_file]
vparstatus -A [-M][-V
][-p vp_name]
vparstatus -w [-M][-V]
vparstatus -e [-V]
vparstatus -R [-V][-p vp_name]
vparstatus -m [-M]
DESCRIPTION
The various forms of the vparstatus command display:
• The attributes and hardware resources associated with one or more virtual partitions (vPars) in either
summary (the default) or detailed format. The -M
option presents the same data in machine-readable
format.
• Resources currently available, that is, not assigned to any virtual partition. The
-M option presents the
same data in machine-readable format.
• The name of the local virtual partition, that is, the virtual partition from which the command is run.
The
-M option displays only the name. Otherwise a full sentence that includes the name is displayed.
• The virtual partition monitor’s event log.
• Processor Information Module (PIM) data from the most recent resetting of a virtual partition.
• The version number of the vparstatus output format.
Only a superuser can execute the vparstatus command.
If no arguments are supplied, vparstatus displays a summary format of all attributes and resources of
all virtual partitions in the monitor database. One or more virtual partitions may be specified explicitly in
order to restrict the output to information about the selected virtual partitions. The -D option lists similar
information from an alternate database file, but with a major difference. See the description of the
-D
option for further details.
There are three major listing formats. The format chosen depends on command options and forms:
• The summary format lists name, attributes, and resource totals. It is displayed if neither the -v
nor
-M option is used.
• The detailed format lists name, attributes, and detailed resource assignments, one per line with annota-
tive headings. The -v option produces this format.
• 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. These are all described below.
Four additional formats are provided for the -w, -e, -R, and -V options.
Information displayed by 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, from the list 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 ini-
tialization and is fully operational.
Down: The virtual partition is fully halted. This could be the result of a normal /etc/shutdown -h com-
mand, 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.
