hello Vineet,
later on if more details reqd u can follow the following links.
http://docs.hp.com/en/T1335-90098/T1335-90098.pdf --- the VPAR config guide and
http://docs.hp.com/en/5991-1247B/ -- the Npartiton aadmin guide
basically an NPAR does not know whether this is being used as an entire Server or that Vpars are there on it. That i think u can know by the vparstatus command only if the VPARS are up and running on an NPAR and also regarding their configuration.
There can be tools .... but i am not aware.
But u can do that using commands and know if VPARS are running on the SD all or few or none NPARS.
from the MP/GSP of the SD when u give the command CO , u are prompted for the partition number that u want to access the COnsole , thus u can have an idea how many NPARS are there configured on the SD.
now choose the NPAR from the GSP u want to view the CO and u can reach the VPAR that this NPAR is running.
to navigate between the various NPARS u can use the CTRL+B combination.
#parstatus
will list all the NAPRS in the system and if u wish to have the NPAR level information u can give the command
#parstatus -w
shows the ptn no of the NPAR that u are logged on to say u r logged on to par no 0
then this will show 0.
from any of the NPAR u can give the following commands know about the NPAR based iformation.
#parstatus -p 0
#parstatus -p 1
where 0,1 etc are the partiotion numbers.
once u know about the NPAR level information ,then u can kpg on to that NPAR and give the command like
#vparstatus
this will show u all the VPARs that are local to that NPAR.
u can use options like -v for verbose and -p
etc to add to the detail of the VPARS on that NPAR.
Then u log on the other NPAR and give
#vparstatus
this shall list the VPARS on this NPAR.
Then for these VPARs u can give the commands like
#vparstatus -v -p
to know about the CPU, Memory and IO and all informations for a VPAR on this NPAR.
u can continue like that knowing how the SD NPAR and the VPARS on that NPAR are congigured.
I accept that can be a tedious job.
however an NPAR not running VPAR or a VPAR is just like a HP -Machine running an OS and once u are logged on to that OS, u can run cstm , print_manifest etc normally.
there are two commands that u can also give from the CM that is command menu of the SD that will list u the NPAR information or how the NPARS have been distributed in the SD Complex.
these are cp and io
MP:CM>cp
MP:CP>io
these show u which cells and which IO chassis are the parts of the SD and how in a concise presentation they are configired.
more u can watch the manpages of the command parststus anf vparstatus.
also for detail on the Node partions and the Virtual Partiotions u can refer to the NPAR and VPAR config and admin guides.
Regards
Sujit
