HP-UX Reference (11i v1 05/09) - 1M System Administration Commands N-Z (vol 4)

v
vparstatus(1M) vparstatus(1M)
-A Displays information about available resources (that is, those not assigned to any virtual
partition) in the virtual partition monitor’s database. The monitor must be running.
Resources are displayed one per line.
If the
-p option is not specified, "Available CPUs:" displays the total number of CPUs
which are not assigned to any virtual partition. If the
-p option is specified, "Available
CPUs:" displays the number of unbound CPUs which can be assigned to the specified vir-
tual partition; this number may be less than the above total. These CPUs were all active
and available (unassigned) when the local virtual partition was booted. Other CPUs which
may be activated or become available after boot time, due to deallocation from another vir-
tual partition or removal of a virtual partition, are not included in this number. These
other CPUs cannot be allocated to the specified virtual partition until that virtual partition
is either halted or rebooted.
Note that you may get a different number on each specified vPar if a different subset of
CPUs was available when that vPar was booted.
Even those CPUs shown as Available may not be assignable to any vPar for an indeter-
minate period. Refer to the vparcreate(1M) or vparmodify(1M) manpage for further
details.
-M Displays attribute and resource information in a machine readable format, or restricts out-
put of the
-w option to the name of the local virtual partition. The rest of this description
applies only to the attribute and resource display.
Individual fields are separated by one of four delimiters:
• The colon (:) separates each field and resource type. For example, the state, attribute
information, and kernel path would be displayed as:
Up:Static,Autoboot:/stand/vmunix
• The semicolon (;) separates subfields of a resource type. For example, CPU resources
are shown as:
5/10;33,37;51,53,55;<>,<>,<>;
where the first subfield shows the minimum and maximum CPUs configured for the
virtual partition; the second subfield lists the bound, or specified path, CPUs
specifically configured by the user; the third subfield lists the remaining bound CPUs,
which are assigned by the monitor; the fourth subfield lists the unbound, or floating,
CPUs; and the final subfield lists any of the floating CPUs which are migrating in or
out of a vPar.
In the example above, the paths of the unbound CPUs are not known. This could be
the case because the example vPar is in an alternate database, or the vPar is in a Down
state for which unbound CPUs are not assigned. In this case, "<>" is displayed in place
of the path.
• The comma (,) separates individual items in a list of similar items, such as the fixed
path CPUs in the previous example.
• The slash (/) separates all other related items, such as the CPU minimum and max-
imum in the same example.
The need to reboot the underlying hard partition on a partitionable platform is indicated
by a Y in the final field (for example, :Y). Otherwise the field contains :N. The informa-
tion in all the remaining fields is the same as in other displays.
-w Displays the local virtual partition (the one in which the command is executed) in a full
sentence. The -M option restricts the display to just the name of the virtual partition.
The monitor must be running.
-e Displays the monitor’s event log, a circular file roughly 4K bytes long. Once the file is full,
new entries overlay old ones to the nearest character. As a result, the first entry
displayed may be missing some leading characters. The monitor must be running.
-R Displays Processor Information Module (PIM) data from the most recent reset of the
specified virtual partition. If a virtual partition is not specified, PIM data from the local
virtual partition, that is, the one in which the command is executed, is displayed.
