Advantages of Using the HP-UX Superdome

Conﬁguration Commands

You can use several different tools to manage, conﬁgure, and monitor the

partitions and hardware within a Superdome complex, as discussed in

“Overview of Partition Management Tools” on page 132.

The HP-UX Superdome conﬁguration commands have the following

advantages over the other tools:

• They provide a simple, command-driven interface you can use when

HP-UX is in single-user mode, and when X-Windows support is not

available.

• They support creating scripts to log and monitor status information

for all partitions and hardware in a Superdome complex.

• They do not require operating a graphical interface.

parstatus Display partition information and hardware details for a Superdome

complex.
