HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.08) (5900-1312, March 2011)

Table 28 possible commands to arrive at vparstatus output
another set of possible commands in sequence to create vparstatus
output
vparstatus output (final)
# vparcreate -p keira1 -a cpu:1.12
(total==1)
# vparboot -p keira1
(assume I/O and memory have been assigned so that
keira1
can boot. at this point the cpu assigned by
hw_path
(1.12) is the only CPU, so it becomes the boot
processor.
Note that 1.12 is only listed once; it is not
listed
under both “Boot Processor” and “User Assigned”)
# vparmodify -p keira1 -a cpu:1.10
(1.10 is added and listed as “user assigned”)
# vparmodify -p keira1 -a cpu::2
(0.10 and 0.11 are chosen by the Monitor and
added)
# vparmodify -p keira1 -a cell:1:cpu::1
(1.11 is added and listed under “Cell-specific”)
keira1 # vparstatus -p keira1 -v

vparstatus: Dual-Core CPUs
You can see the sibling and virtual partition assignment using vparstatus-d. If you do not have
a dual-core system, the output will show dashes (-) for the sibling and assignment information.
Example
# vparstatus -d
CPU Cell Config Sibling Information
path CPU HPA ID Status Assigned to Path /vPar name
===== ================== ==== ====== ================== =======================
0.10 0xfffffffffc078000 0 E vpuma02 - -
0.11 0xfffffffffc07a000 0 E vpuma01 - -
0.12 0xfffffffffc07c000 0 E vpuma04 - -
0.13 0xfffffffffc07e000 0 E - - -
...
When you do have dual-core system, the vparstatus -d output will look similar to the following:
# vparstatus -d
CPU Cell Config Sibling Information
path CPU HPA ID Status Assigned to Path /vPar name
===== ================== ==== ====== ================== =======================
0.10 0xfffffffffc070000 0 E vpkeira1 0.11 vpkeira3
0.11 0xfffffffffc071000 0 E vpkeira3 0.10 vpkeira1
0.12 0xfffffffffc074000 0 E - 0.13 vpkeira4
0.13 0xfffffffffc075000 0 E vpkeira4 0.12 -
0.14 0xfffffffffc078000 0 E - 0.15 -
0.15 0xfffffffffc079000 0 E - 0.14 -

vparstatus: Pending Migrating CPUs Operations
Migrating CPUs may not occur instantaneously. If a virtual partition has a pending (in other words,
still in progress) addition or deletion of one or more CPUs, the letter p will be displayed next to
the number of CPUs in the summary output and the words (migration pending) will be displayed
in the detailed output:
