VPAR and free IO slots

[lallemand_3]

Hi all,

is there a way in a VPAR to know if there are some free IO slots belonging to the VPAR.

Thanks a lot in advance

hy,

i don't have vpar...

#parstatus

for vpars

if you use vparstatus -v

it will show you all the assigned hardware paths.

combined with the rad command you should be able to get the information you need.

I also think there is a gui, for it but I can't remember all the details.


man rad
man vparstatus

I suggest to do this:
first run "vparstatus -v". This gives you all available slots.
...
[IO Details]
0.0.0
0.0.1
0.0.2
0.0.3
0.0.4
0.0.8
0.0.9
0.0.11
0.0.12
0.0.14
0.0.1.0.0.0.0 BOOT
...

Then check the "ioscan -fn" output.

...
ba 6 0/0/9 lba CLAIMED BUS_NEXUS Local PCI Bus
Adapter (782)
...

If there is only one entry (lba) with this hardware path (beginning with 0/0/9), the slot is empty.

BTW, "vparstatus -A" shows all "unbound" slots.
