HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM V6.3 Administrator Guide

13 Managing vPars and VMs using CLI
To manage a vPar and VM guest, connect to the vPar and VM guest using a remote connection,
and use the operating system administration procedures appropriate to the guest OS. vPars and
Integrity VM provides utilities for managing vPars and VM guests from the VSP and from inside
the vPar and VM guest. This chapter describes how to manage vPars and VM guests using Integrity
VM commands and utilities.
13.1 Monitoring guests
To view the information about all the vPars and VM guests configured on the VSP, enter the
hpvmstatus command.

The vPar and VM guest status is displayed in the State column and indicates whether the vPar
or VM guest is powered off or on. When the vPar or VM guest is on, the status also includes one
of the following:
• EFI indicates the vPar or VM guest is running normally in EFI.
• OS indicates the vPar or VM guest is running normally in the operating system.
