Checking for Processor Failures
You can list cell processor configuration, including any processor failures,
using software tools and utilities.
You can use the following procedures:
• Checking Processor Status [HP-UX] on page 365
This procedure (parstatus -V -c#) lists a cell’s processor status,
including any failures, from HP-UX.
• Checking Processor Status [Partition Manager] on page 366
This procedure (Cell —> Show Cell Details menu, CPUs/Memory
tab) lists processor details and any failures using Partition Manager.
Checking Processor Status [HP-UX]
This procedure (parstatus -V -c # ) lists a cell’s processor status,
including any failures, from HP-UX.
Step 1. Login to HP-UX running on any of the system’s nPartitions.
You can check processor details for any cell from any nPartition.
Step 2. Issue the parstatus -V -c # command to list detailed information about
the specified cell (-c # ).
The detailed information parstatus reports includes a list of all
processors (CPUs) installed on the cell, and the status of each CPU.
Any processors listed as “failed” either have failed self-tests or have been
software deconfigured by the Boot Console Handler (BCH) Configuration
menu’s CPUCONFIG command.
