Managing Superdome Complexes: A Guide for HP-UX System Administrators

Configuring and Managing Superdome Partitions
Procedures for Managing Partitions
Chapter 4 203
The parstatus -P command lists all partitions and shows each
partition’s number, the number of cells and I/O chassis assigned to it, the
partition’s active core cell, and its name.
While a partition is booting, the parstatus command cannot determine
the partition’s I/O chassis and core cell information. When this is the
case parstatus does not count the I/O chassis and reports a question
mark (?) for the core cell. When the partition has completed booting,
parstatus reports all details.
Step 3. Issue the parstatus -C command to list detailed information about all
cells and partitions in the Superdome complex.
The parstatus -C command presents more detailed information about
all cells and partitions. These details include each cell’s status (active,
inactive), its processor and memory configuration, its I/O chassis
connections (if any), the cell’s use-on-next-boot setting, and partition
assignment.
For cells and partitions that have not finished booting, the parstatus
command cannot determine processor, memory, or I/O details and
instead reports a question mark (?) for these details.
