AIX

I'm trying to find out how many logical partitions our AIX box has. I'm running the command: topas -C
and nothing is showing up. Is it safe to say that there is only one LPAR, which is what AIX is installed on?








Move to AIX - jim mc

You'le get @ the end as


Only one partition discovered. Use -L option of topas

The above output confirms that there is only one LPAR.

Hi,
I don't think is safe to say that. topas -C gathers information via port 657 tcp/udp which is also used for DLPAR. If this port is not opened topas -C will find nothing. And did you leave topas -C opened long? Sometime it takes to show up around 20 sec.
If you wanna find out how many Lpars/Dlpars have the best way is go to hmc console and run this

Code:

lssyscfg -m managedsys -r lpar -F name:state

Code:

lshwres -r proc -m managedsys --level lpar

That will show you as well usage of processors per Lpar/Dlpar.

Hope this hepls.

I just mentioned this :

Code:

lsconf | grep "LPAR Info"

If you will see there -1 then it's not a lpar. But I am not sure about this on 100%. Maybe some one else can confirm it.
