DESCRIPTION
The command displays information about a system complex. If no argu‐
ments are supplied, all major components that are physically present in
the local complex are listed. A specific component (cell, I/O chassis,
cabinet, or partition) may be specified in order to restrict the output
to information about that component. Either the option or the option
can be specified to access a remote complex.
Refer to the for a description of the partition management terms used
in this man page.
Options and Arguments
recognizes the following command line options and arguments:
Only display the available resources in the complex. If the option is
used with other options, an error occurs except when the option is used
with its related options.
Show information for all cabinets in the complex.
Show information about the specified cabinet.
Show information for all cells in the complex.
Show information about the specified cell. The
cell id can be specified either in the local (cabinet#/slot#) or
global (cell_ID) format. For example, the cell located in cabi‐
net 0, slot 1 is locally identified as 0/1 or globally as 1.
Allows access to the complex specified by the
option. The accessed complex is then considered the target com‐
plex. Access is through the service processor's LAN port.
The option is required if this option is used.
If this option is specified, the command prompts for the pass‐
word.
If an error is reported when you attempt to connect using this
option, check to see that IPMI LAN access has not been disabled
on the remote service processor. Access to the complex through
IPMI over LAN can be enabled or disabled by logging on to the
service processor and using the command from the Command Menu.
The and options are mutually exclusive.
This option should only be used in combination with either the
or option. IPaddress|hostname specifies the IP address or host‐
name of the target partition or complex
Show information for all I/O chassis in the complex.
Show information about the specified
I/Ochassis. The I/Ochassis id can be specified in the form of
cabinet#/enclosure#/chassis#. For example, the I/O chassis
located in cabinet 0, enclosure 1 and I/O chassis slot 3 is
identified as 0/1/3.
Produce a machine readable/parseable output, or restrict the output of
the option to a partition number. The machine readable output
will have the columns separated by a single colon character and
will not have a column header.
Show information for all partitions in the complex.
Show information about the specified partition.
PartitionNumber is the unique partition number (integer) which
was assigned to the partition when it was created.
Display the cell online activation (OLA) and deactivation (OLD) opera‐
tion status information
of all cells in a partition.
Indicates if the command is being executed on a hardware partitionable
platform. When this option is specified, the command will
either succeed or fail (see below) and nothing will be displayed
on stdout or stderr.
Only display the Hyper-Threading information for supported systems.
If the option is used with other options, an error occurs except
when the option is used with its related options. If the option
is used on a non-supported system, an error occurs.
Specifies the required authorization to access a partition other than
the local partition (but can also be used as a loopback access
to the local partition). If complex attributes are displayed,
the complex is the one in which this target partition resides.
The option is required if this option is used.
If this option is specified, the command prompts for the pass‐
word.
username specifies a configured user name on the target parti‐
tion.
Note: This command is a Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM)
Client Application. The option accesses the target partition
using a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection. If errors are
reported, check that the conditions described in the section are
satisfied.
Verbose mode.
Increase the amount of information displayed. Additional infor‐
mation displayed with includes:
For Cabinet:
* Status of each of the cabinet blower(s)
* Status of each of the I/O fan(s)
* Status of each of the bulk power supply(s)
* Status of each of the backplane power board(s)
For Partition:
* Primary, alternate and secondary boot path settings
* PDC, IODC version numbers
* Memory interleaving / local memory settings
* Cells summary information
* I/O chassis summary information
For Cell:
* Details of each cpu on the cell
* Details of memory on the cell
* Memory interleaving / local memory settings
Display the local partition number in a full sentence. If the
option connects to another partition, that partition number is
reported instead. The option restricts the display to just the
partition number.
Display the complex attributes.
Mapping of Global Cell Numbers to Local Cell Numbers
The cabinets in a complex are numbered starting from 0. The cell slots
in each cabinet are also numbered starting from 0. Each cabinet can
have a maximum of 8 cells. For example, the cells located in cabinet 0
will have the following cell numbers in global format: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7. The cell numbers in corresponding local format will be 0/0,
0/1, 0/2, 0/3, 0/4, 0/5, 0/6, 0/7.
Similarly the cells located in cabinet 1 will have the following cell
numbers in global format: 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. The cell num‐
bers in corresponding local format will be 1/0, 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4,
1/5, 1/6, 1/7.
From the above convention the cell located in cabinet 1, slot 0 is
identified in the local format as 1/0 or in the global format as 8.
The command will display the above cell as "cab1,cell0". The cell
located in cabinet 1, slot 4 is identified in the local format as 1/4
or in the global format as 12. The command will display the above cell
as "cab1,cell4".
Cell Types
This sections explains the core and base cell types.
Core Cell
One cell in each nPartition must serve as active core cell. This
active core cell is connected to an I/O chasis that has a core I/O. A
core cell controls the nPartition until HP-UX is booted. It also pro‐
vides the console access for the nPartition.
Base Cell
A base cell is a cell that the operating system does not guarantee
online deletable in terms of how the cell resources are used. Inter‐
leaved memory can only be allocated from base cells. The HP-UX 11i
utilities for managing nPartitions automatically set the cell type to
base cell if you do not specify the cell type.
RETURN VALUE
The command exits with one of the following values:
Successful completion.
Error condition occurred.

DEPENDENCIES
This command uses the Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) product
and some of its configuration settings. If you encounter connection
errors when using the option, check that the following two conditions
are satisfied:
· Use the command (see cimconfig(1M) in the WBEM product documenta‐
tion) to verify (and correct if necessary) the setting of the fol‐
lowing two variables:
·
·
· The target partition's digital certificate has been appended to the
local partition's Shared Authentication Store. For the nPartition
commands, the Shared Authentication Store is stored in the file:
This file is used by all the clients, which use SSL based certifi‐
cates. If these clients trust a target partition, then the nParti‐
tion commands will also trust the target partition.
Refer to the WBEM documents specified in the section below for further
information.
