Listing Input/Output (I/O) Configurations

Procedure 8-14 Listing Input/Output (I/O) Configurations (Service Processor)

From the service processor Command Menu, use the IO command to list connections from cells to I/O chassis, or use the PS command and the cabinet option to list I/O chassis population and power status for an entire cabinet.

1. Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) and enter CM to access the Command Menu.

2. At the Command Menu, enter the IO command to list the connections from I/O chassis to cells; the IO command is supported for HP Superdome servers only.

   To list the power status for I/O chassis, and the locations of installed I/O chassis, issue the PS command, and select the cabinet option for the server cabinet whose I/O configuration you want to view:

   • On HP Superdome servers, select the B (cabinet) option, and specify the cabinet whose information you want to view.

   • On all other systems, select the T (cabinet) option.

3. To exit the service processor Command Menu, enter MA to return to the service processor Main Menu.

   At the Main Menu, enter X to exit the service processor interface.

Procedure 8-15 Listing Input/Output Configurations (BCH Menu)

From the BCH Information Menu use the IO command to list I/O details for the local nPartition. The BCH Menu is available only on HP 9000 systems.

1. Access the BCH Main Menu for the nPartition whose I/O configuration you want to list.

   Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the BCH Main Menu (the Main Menu: Enter command or menu> prompt). If at a BCH menu other than the Main Menu, then enter MA to return to the BCH Main Menu.

2. Enter IN to access the BCH Information Menu.

3. Enter the IO command to list I/O details for all active cells in the local nPartition.

   The IO command provides details that include I/O chassis information, I/O module (PCI card slot) details, and information about PCI devices (installed PCI cards).

4. Exit the console and service processor interfaces if finished using them.

   To exit the BCH environment type ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and returns to the service processor Main Menu. To exit the service processor, type X at the Main Menu.

Procedure 8-16 Listing Input/Output Configurations (EFI Shell)

From the EFI Shell environment, use theinfo io command to list I/O details for the local nPartition. The EFI Shell is available only on HP Integrity systems.

1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition whose I/O configuration you want to list.

   Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the nPartition console.

   When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select the Exit option from the sub-menus until you return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.

   From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell environment.

2. Enter the info io command to list I/O details for all active cells in the local nPartition.

   The info io command reports details that include I/O chassis information, I/O module (PCI card slot) details, and information about PCI devices (installed PCI cards).

3. Exit the console and service processor interfaces if finished using them.

   To exit the EFI environment type ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and returns to the service processor Main Menu. To exit the service processor, type X at the Main Menu.

Procedure 8-17 Listing Input/Output (I/O) Configurations (nPartition Commands)

From the command line, use the parstatus -I command to list details about all I/O chassis in the server complex.

From HP-UX B.11.11 use the rad -q command, or from HP-UX B.11.23 and HP-UX B.11.31 use the olrad -q command, to list details about PCI cards and slots in the local nPartition.

1. Login to a system with the nPartition commands installed.

   If using remote administration features, you can login to any system with Enhanced nPartition Commands installed.

   If listing I/O chassis status (using parstatus -I) you can login to any nPartition in the complex or remotely list details. 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.

2. Issue the commands 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.

   • rad -q — HP-UX B.11.11 only. Displays the status of all PCI card slots in the system. Includes details about each PCI card slot, HP-UX Hardware Paths, and power and driver status.

   • olrad -q — HP-UX B.11.23 and HP-UX B.11.31. Displays the status of all PCI card slots in the system. Includes details about each PCI card slot, HP-UX Hardware Paths, and power and driver status.

Procedure 8-18 Listing Input/Output (I/O) Configurations (Partition Manager)

You can list the I/O configuration for a server complex or any nPartition in the complex by using Partition Manager.

When using Partition Manager Version 1.0, select the DetailsShow Complex Details action, then select the I/O Chassis tab.

When using Partition Manager Version 2.0, select the I/O tab.

1. Access Partition Manager.

   For details on accessing Partition Manager or other tools, see “Tools for Listing Status”.

2. List I/O configuration details for the server complex.

   From Partition Manager Version 1.0, select the DetailsShow Complex Details action, then select the I/O Chassis tab to view I/O chassis details for the complex. For additional details on any I/O chassis, use the Show Details button to display a list of PCI slots and cards.

   From Partition Manager Version 2.0, select the I/O tab to view details about the I/O chassis in the complex. You can view further details about individual cards by clicking on the card or by selecting the card(s) and using actions available from the I/O menu. Viewing these additional details requires running pdweb (the HP-UX Peripheral Device tool) on the local nPartition to which the cell connected to the I/O chassis is assigned.

3. Exit Partition Manager.

   From Partition Manager Version 1.0, select the FileExit action.

   From Partition Manager Version 2.0, select Log off parmgr or exit the Web browser when finished.
