Power-, status-, and hardware-level tasks
The following section describes tasks you can perform in order to manage or view the
status of I/O components or other hardware within the complex, or individual
nPartitions, or individual cells.
List input/output (I/O) configurations
nPartition input/output (I/O) configuration details include the I/O chassis population,
cell-to-chassis connections, PCI card slot capabilities, and PCI card details.
List I/O configurations using the following procedure:
Listing input/output (I/O) configurations [par commands]
From the command line, use the
parstatus -I
command to list details about all I/O
chassis in the server complex.
Step 1.
Login to Windows on the Management Station PC.
To list details about the cards and slots in an I/O chassis you must login to the nPartition
to which the cell connected to the I/O chassis is assigned. If using the
parstatus -I
command you can login to any nPartition in the complex or remotely list details from
Windows.
Step 2.
Issue the command to list details about I/O chassis and PCI slots.
•
parstatus -I
— List details about all I/O chassis in the server complex, including
the usage (absent, active, inactive), whether the chassis has Core I/O, and which cell
the I/O chassis is connected to.
NOTE
You must include the correct remote administration options when issuing par commands
(
-h
and
-g
for IPMI over LAN connections;
-h
and
-u
for WBEM/WMI connections). For
a complete explanation of these options, refer to the command description in “nPartition
Commands Reference” on page 109.
List cabinets in a server complex
Cabinet details include the cabinet type, a list of cells, I/O chassis, power supplies,
utilities, fans, firmware components, interconnecting hardware. Other information such
as the power status, faults, and LED states also are given.
List the cabinets in a server complex using the following procedure:
Listing cabinets in a server complex [par commands]
From the command line, use the
parstatus -B
command to list all cabinets in the
server complex, or use the
parstatus -V -b#
command to view a detailed status for the
specified cabinet (
-b#
where
#
is the cabinet number).
Step 1.
Login to Windows on the Management Station PC.
Step 2.
Issue commands to list details about cabinets in the target complex.
