vPars Monitor Information Lookup Commands
bootpath
The bootpath command can be used to display monitor boot path.
cat filename [openonly]
The cat command is similar to the HP-UX
cat command. However, only one filename may be specified.
When the optional string
openonly is given, the command will return after printing "
open suc-
ceeded
" if it was able to open the file in read-only mode.
This command is applicable for PA-RISC platforms only.
cbuf part_name
The cbuf command can be used to dump contents of console buffer for the virtual partition part_name.
This command is applicable for PA-RISC platforms only.
getauto
The getauto command lists the contents of the AUTO file in the LIF directory. When the system is boot-
ing up and when the global automatic booting is true, the ISL reads the contents of this file to load the
appropriate OS. For vpars, we can set this file with "hpux /stand/vpmon -a" to make the system boot all the
vpars whose autoboot is set on.
This command is applicable for PA-RISC platforms only.
lifls [directory name]
The lifls command can be used to list the contents of the LIF directory on the boot device.
This command is applicable for PA-RISC platforms only.
log
The log command can be used to view the event log.
ls [-alniFH][directory name]
The ls command is similar to the HP-UX ls command. However, only one target directory may be given.
If more than one directory is given the contents of the last directory are listed. If no target directory is
given, the contents of the current directory (for example, /stand directory) are listed.
This command is applicable for PA-RISC platforms only.
release
This command can be used to display release version information for the monitor.
scan
The scan command does a scan of the system bus. For each resource on the bus, it prints the hardware
path of the resource, the type of resource, and the name of the partition that owns the resource.
vparinfo [vpar_name]
The vparinfo command displays a list of resources that have been assigned to a particular partition or
that are not yet unassigned.
Unassigned resources are displayed when vpar_name is unspecified. These unassigned resources include
free local bus adapters and resources shared between more than one partition such as memory controller
and system bus adapters. Also displayed information includes partition names, size of free memory, and
the ranges of free memory.
When vpar_name is specified, information about that virtual partition is displayed. This information
includes the amount of memory the partition owns, any explicitly specified memory ranges that have been
assigned to the partition, boot device path, the kernel path, boot options, the state of the autoboot flag, and
whether the partition is marked as static or dynamic. If the partition is active, the information also
includes the memory ranges that were assigned to the partition by the vpmon when the partition was
activated.
SECURITY RESTRICTIONS
This command is restricted to processes owned by superuser or with DEVOPS privilege. See privileges(5)
for more information about privileged access on systems that support the fine-grained privilege feature.
