Checking for Power Supply Failures
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 360
You can check power details from HP-UX running on any nPartition.
Step 2. Issue the parstatus -B command for a brief summary of all cabinets
including power status, or issue the parstatus -V -b # command for
detailed power status for a specific cabinet (-b # ) whose details you want
to view.
• The parstatus -B command summarizes the power status for all
cabinets in the system complex.
• The parstatus -V -b # command displays a detailed status (“ok” or
“failed”) for all power supplies in the specified cabinet (-b # ).
The following example shows power supply details for cabinet number 0,
which has one failed bulk power supply (Power Supply 3).
# parstatus -V -b0
