p
parstatus(1) parstatus(1)
also be used as a loopback access to the local partition). If complex attributes are displayed, the
complex is the one in which this target partition resides.
The -h option is required if this option is used.
username specifies a configured user name on the target partition.
passwd specifies the password associated with the username. If this field is empty, the command
prompts for the password.
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.
SECURITY WARNING: Specifying the password directly on the command line may pose a secu-
rity risk in your environment. The
ps or other related commands can be invoked in such a way
as to display the command line of a process. In this situation, any authenticated user on the sys-
tem can potentially see the password while the process is executing. Hence, it is highly recom-
mended not to specify the password on the command line, and instead allow the command to
prompt for the password.
Note: Specifying passwd on the command line will not be supported in future releases.
-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 [passwd]
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.
passwd specifies the IPMI password of the service processor. If this field is omitted, the com-
mand prompts for the password.
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 processor and using the
SA command from the Command Menu.
The -u and -g options are mutually exclusive.

-w Display the local partition number in a full sentence. If the -u option connects to another parti-
tion, 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.
-T Only display the Hyper-Threading information.
-V Verbose mode. Increase the amount of information displayed.
Note:
1. The cell IODC version field is used for PA-RISC cells only. This value will be 0xFFFF (in
other words, 65535) for Itanium(R)-based cells.
2. On PA-RISC platforms, the amount of memory allocated for CLM may not match the amount
of CLM requested due to some memory being reserved exclusively by the operating system.
