p
parstatus(1) parstatus(1)
* Memory interleaving / local memory settings
* Cells summary information
* I/O chassis summary information
For Cell:
* Details of each cpu on the cell
* Details of memory on the cell
* Memory interleaving / local memory settings
-w Display the local partition number in a full sentence. If the
-u option connects to
another partition, that partition number is reported instead. The
-M option restricts
the display to just the partition number.
-X Display the complex attributes.
Mapping of Global Cell Numbers to Local Cell Numbers
The cabinets in a complex are numbered starting from 0. The cell slots in each cabinet are also numbered
starting from 0. Each cabinet can have a maximum of 8 cells. For example, the cells located in cabinet 0
will have the following cell numbers in global format: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. The cell numbers in correspond-
ing local format will be 0/0, 0/1, 0/2, 0/3, 0/4, 0/5, 0/6, 0/7.
Similarly the cells located in cabinet 1 will have the following cell numbers in global format: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15. The cell numbers in corresponding local format will be 1/0, 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6, 1/7.
From the above convention the cell located in cabinet 1, slot 0 is identified in the local format as 1/0 or in
the global format as 8. The parstatus command will display the above cell as "cab1,cell0". The cell
located in cabinet 1, slot 4 is identified in the local format as 1/4 or in the global format as 12. The
par-
status
command will display the above cell as "cab1,cell4".
Cell Types
This sections explains the core and base cell types.
Core Cell
One cell in each nPartition must serve as active core cell. This active core cell is connected to an I/O chasis
that has a core I/O. A core cell controls the nPartition until HP-UX is booted. It also provides the console
access for the nPartition.
Base Cell
A base cell is a cell that the operating system does not guarantee online deletable in terms of how the cell
resources are used. Interleaved memory can only be allocated from base cells. The HP-UX 11i utilities for
managing nPartitions automatically set the cell type to base cell if you do not specify the cell type.
RETURN VALUE
The parstatus command exits with one of the following values:
0 Successful completion.
1 Error condition occurred.
