Viewing the Current Status of the Complex

Partition Manager

1. Run the Partition Manager (parmgr).

   The Partition Manager can be run from:

   • an HP-UX command line

   • a Web browser

   • the System Administration Manager utility (SAM)

   For details see “How to Start The Partition Manager”.

2. Select “Analyze Complex Health” from the “Complex” menu

   A pop-up window will report the results of the analysis.

3. [Optional]Print the results to a file or printer by clicking on the “Print ...” button. A “Print Dialog” window will pop-up.

   Enter the file name or printer name information, select the paper type (if appropriate), and click on the Print button to create the file or printout.

HP-UX Commands

From any partition in the complex, the parstatus command (see parstatus(1)) can be used to determine the operating status of a cell's processors.

• /usr/sbin/parstatus -V -c cell_number

  These options to parstatus will display detailed information about the cell specified by cell_number. In addition to status information about what cell the partition is assigned to, the status of the memory modules on the cell board, and other useful information, the status of the cell's processors is displayed. For example:

  /usr/sbin/parstatus -V -c 5

  Any processors listed as failed have either failed self tests or have been deconfigured via the Boot Console Handler's CPUCONFIG command.

Partition Manager

1. Run the Partition Manager (parmgr).

   The Partition Manager can be run from:

   • an HP-UX command line

   • a Web browser

   • the System Administration Manager utility (SAM)

   For details see “How to Start The Partition Manager”.

2. Click on the partition (or “Available Resources”) on the left-hand-side of the Partition Manager's primary display. This will show the list of cells and I/O chassis for the partition on the right-hand-side of the display.

3. On the right-hand-side of the display, double-click on the entry for the cell board that contains the processors you want to check on. This brings up the “Cell Details” pop-up window.

4. Click on the “CPUs/Memory” tab to bring up the panel containing the status of the processors for the selected cell board.

5. [Optional]Print the results to a file or printer by clicking on the “Print ...” button. A “Print Dialog” window will pop-up.

In addition to status information about what cell the partition is assigned to, the status of the processors on the cell board, and other useful information, the status of the cell's memory modules is displayed. For example:

  /usr/sbin/parstatus -V -c 2

  	NOTE: Any memory listed as failed has failed self-tests or has been deconfigured via the Boot Console Handler service menu's DIMMDEALLOC command. Any DIMM in the same memory rank as a DIMM that has failed (or has been deallocated) will also be deallocated. DIMM memory modules operate in (and must be installed/removed in) physical groups known as memory ranks. In the following example, memory modules 3, 7,11, and 15 are part of the same rank. Any one (or more) of the DIMMS might have failed self-tests, or might have been deallocated by software.

HP-UX Commands

The parstatus command can report the status of the power and cooling components of a Superdome complex on a cabinet by cabinet basis. In the following command, substitute cabinet_number for the number of the cabinet whose status you want to know.

• /usr/sbin/parstatus -V -b cabinet_number

  For example: /usr/sbin/parstatus -V -b 0
