HP Superdome 2 Partitioning Administrator Guide

The interfaces include the _CS_PARTITION_IDENT and _CS_MACHINE_IDENT parameters:
• For a nPartition-specific or a virtual partition-specific unique ID use this command:
/usr/bin/getconf _CS_PARTITION_IDENT
The unique partition identifier value for a virtual partition environment has virtual
partition-specific data added that does not appear for an equivalent non-vPars environment.
See the examples that follow.
• For a complex-specific unique ID use this command:
/usr/bin/getconf _CS_MACHINE_IDENT
Example 2-1 Unique IDs for an nPartition and Complex
The following examples show nPartition-unique and complex-unique IDs returned by the
getconf command, as well as the local nPartition number and machine serial number.
# parstatus -w
The local partition number is 1.
# /usr/bin/getconf _CS_PARTITION_IDENT
Z3e02955673f9f7c9_P1
# /usr/bin/getconf _CS_MACHINE_IDENT

Example 2-2 Unique IDs for Virtual Partitions (vPars)
The following example shows the virtual partition-unique ID returned by the getconf command,
as well as the local nPartition number and the current virtual partition name.
# parstatus -w
The local partition number is 0.
# vparstatus -w
The current virtual partition is Shad.
# getconf _CS_PARTITION_IDENT
