HP Integrity Superdome 2 16-socket Administrator's Manual page 16

Example 1 Determining if an OS instance is running on Superdome 2 hardware
Example 1 illustrates how the 'model' and 'getconf' commands can be used to determine whether
an OS is running on Superdome 2 hardware.
# /usr/bin/getconf MACHINE_MODEL
ia64 hp Superdome2 16s
# /usr/bin/model
ia64 hp Superdome2 16s
In both the examples, the presence of "Superdome 2" in the output string indicates that the nPartition
or virtual partition is running on a Superdome 2 complex.
Example 2 Unique IDs for an nPartition and Complex
Example 2 shows the nPartition-unique and complex-unique IDs returned by the getconf command,
and the local nPartition number and machine serial number.
# parstatus -w
The local partition number is 1.
# /usr/bin/getconf _CS_PARTITION_IDENT
Z3e02955673f9f7c9_P1
# /usr/bin/getconf _CS_MACHINE_IDENT
Z3e02955673f9f7c9
# /usr/bin/getconf _CS_MACHINE_SERIAL
USR2024FP1
#
Example 3 Unique IDs for Virtual Partitions (vPars)
Example 3 shows the virtual partition unique ID returned by the getconf command, the local
nPartition number, and the current virtual partition name.
# parstatus -w
The local partition number is 0.
# vparstatus -w
The current virtual partition is Shad.
# getconf _CS_PARTITION_IDENT
Z3e0ec8e078cd3c7b_P0_V00
#
For more information on virtual partitions, see "Installing or Removing the vPars product from the
OS" (page 101).
