HP-UX nPartition Commands

Let's assume that you nPartition-based system is up and running and we want to issue some commands to see how it is configured. The first command we'll issue is parstatus -P to get some high-level information about the nPartitions in our system:

[Partition]
Par              # of  # of I/O
Num Status       Cells Chassis  Core cell  Partition Name
=== ============ ===== ======== ========== ==============
 0  active       2     1     cab0,cell0 mtvnhp01
 1  active       1     1     cab0,cell1 mtvnhp02
mtvnhp01:/>

This output shows that we have two nPartitions on our rp8400. The first of the nPartitions has two cells and the second has one.

Next, we'll issue the parstatus command with a verbose output of nPartition p0:

# parstatus -V -p0 [Partition] ...
