vparstatus(1M) vparstatus(1M)
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 or detailed CPU, I/O, and memory resource allocations
Unbound (or floating) CPUs may be assigned to or de-assigned from a running vPar. This process, termed
"CPU migration", 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 target 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 "p" in the column following the Unbound CPU 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 "(migration
pending)"
• Machine readable format: A separate list of migrating CPUs is added to the display following the list
of unbound CPUs. If no CPU is migrating, this list is 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 partitions 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 summary
or detailed display (but not for other output formats). Refer to "Performing a Reboot for Reconfig for an
nPartition" in the HP Systems Partitions Guide for more information. If the
-M option has been specified
for either the configured resources or available resources, an additional field is appended to the machine-
readable output instead. Refer to the description of the
-M option.
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 data-
base is displayed. Multiple vp_names 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.
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.
-v Presents a detailed display, one attribute or resource per line. Each attribute and
resource type is identified.
CPU resources are identified by path when path information is available. Some CPU
resources may not be known when displaying the status of alternate database vPars or
vPars in the Down state. In this case, "<no path>" is displayed.
