Thanks

Brian,

You can check with :

# parstatus -X

also from GSP.

cheers,
Raj.

Brian,

You can also use ,

# parstatus -V

Verbose mode. To get detailinformation:

Additional information displayed with -V
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
* Hyper-Threading information

For Cell:
* Details of each cpu on the cell
* Details of memory on the cell
* Memory interleaving / local memory settings
* Details of Hyper-Threading
--------------------------------------------



Enjoy and cheers,
Raj.

Complex Name : Complex 01
Complex Capacity
Compute Cabinet (2 cell capable) : 1

so how may cell boards ? is it 2?

Thanks

Brian ,

Yes , it is 2 .

More accurately you can use :

# parstatus -c , to see the details of the cell.

ex: # parstatus -c 0 or # parstatus -c 1

Raj.

Check this out for further details:

( -C to get cell informations. )

Cheers,

# parstatus -c 0

# parstatus -c 1

how can i know how many CPU's are on the other cell?

THanks

Brian,

You can see the cpu details from logging to the GSP console:

Login to the console/GSP:
Go to GSP Main menu:

GSP MAIN MENU:


CO: Consoles

VFP: Virtual Front Panel

CM: Command Menu

CL: Console Logs

SL: Show chassis Logs

HE: Help

X: Exit Connection
-------------------------------

GSP> CM


1.You can use DF,

DF: To Display FRU information .

2. Also you can use CL
CP: To display partition cell assignments.

3. From the PS command , you can see the cpu details , after selecting the cell number, like the below details:


PDH status LEDs: ***_

CPUs

0 1 2 3

Populated * * * *
-------------------------------------








Cheers,

Brian,

From the output you have given its clear you have 4 cpu in cellborad1.

# parstatus -c 1
[Cell]
CPU Memory Use
OK/ (GB) Core On
Hardware Actual Deconf/ OK/ Cell Next Par
Location Usage Max Deconf Connected To Capable Boot Num
========== ============ ======= ========= =================== ======= ==== ===
cab0,cell1 active core 4/0/8 12.0/ 0.0 cab0,bay0,chassis1 yes yes 0
----------------------------------------

While pasting the output looks like you have cutted down the top line , that shows the CPU and Memory.

In the above output,
4/0/8 shows --> CPU OK/ Deconf/ Max.



To check each patition you can use this command, and the output will display with the cell and cpu informations:

# parstatus -V -p 0
or
# parstatus -V -p 1
or
# parstatus -V -p 2 etc.

Hope you got a clear picture now.

Cheers,
Raj.

Its very simple to check how many cell boards you have , you didnot used the -C option so far.

Here is an example of containing 8 cell boards:

# parstatus -C
[Cell]
CPU Memory Use
OK/ (GB) Core On
Hardware Actual Deconf/ OK/ Cell Next Par
Location Usage Max Deconf Connected To Capable Boot Num
========== ============ ======= ========= =================== ======= ==== ===
cab0,cell0 active core 4/0/4 8.0/ 0.0 cab0,bay1,chassis3 yes yes 0
cab0,cell1 active core 4/0/4 8.0/ 0.0 cab0,bay0,chassis3 yes yes 3
cab0,cell2 active base 4/0/4 2.0/ 0.0 - no yes 4
cab0,cell3 active base 4/0/4 8.0/ 0.0 - no yes 3
cab0,cell4 active core 4/0/4 10.0/ 0.0 cab0,bay0,chassis1 yes yes 1
cab0,cell5 active core 4/0/4 8.0/ 0.0 cab8,bay0,chassis1 yes yes 4
cab0,cell6 active core 4/0/4 8.0/ 0.0 cab0,bay1,chassis1 yes yes 2
cab0,cell7 active base 4/0/4 8.0/ 0.0 - no yes 4

--------------------------------------------


As per your output , it shows you have 1 cell board with 4 CPU.


Enjoy and cheers,
Raj.
