uptime

uptime produces information about the time at which the system booted and some load data. Let's run this command for two different vPars running on the same server as shown below:

#

hostname

cvhdcon3 
#

uptime

2:32pm  up  3:02,  2 users,  load average: 2.26, 1.96,  1.60 
# 

#

hostname

cvhdcon4 
#

uptime

2:31pm  up  2:41,  2 users,  load average: 0.25, 0.22,  0.23 
#

The information produced by uptime is vPar-specific. The first output we see in this output is the time at which the first vPar booted, and the second output is the time at which the second vPar booted. The other information in this output is also for the specific vPar on which uptime was run. Like most of the commands you'll execute when vPars are running, you'll see vPar-specific information, not system-specific information.

Next, we'll take a look at some networking commands in vPars.

Networking

Networking information produced by commands is also peculiar to the vPar on which you've issued the command. Networking configuration of vPars is covered in Chapter 13. Let's take a look at the network interface on two different vPars configured on the same server. First let's look at the output of vPar cable1 with a hostname of cvhdcon3 :

#

hostname

cvhdcon3 
#

netstat -I lan0

Name      Mtu  Network         Address         Ipkts   Ierrs Opkts   Oerrs Coll 
lan0      1500 172.16.15.0     cvhdcon3        12785   0     11855   0     3 
# 
#

netstat -in

Name      Mtu  Network         Address         Ipkts   Ierrs Opkts   Oerrs Coll 
lan0      1500 172.16.15.0     172.16.15.36    12990   0     12052   0     3 
lo0       4136 127.0.0.0       127.0.0.1       7616    0     7616    0     0

lanscan

0/0/0/0  0x00306E06F6BA 0   UP    lan0 snap0     1   ETHER     Yes     119 
#

This output shows that lan0 is the network interface devoted to vPar cable1 on this server. The lanscan output shows that this interface has a hardware path of 0/0/0/0 . This is on the Core I/O card that was configured as a component of the vPar when it was created with -a io:0/0 . The LAN interface on the Core I/O card was not explicitly called out when cable1 was created because 0/0/0/0 is an implied component of the Core I/O card at 0/0.

Let's now take a look at the second vPar running on this server, called cable2 with a hostname of cvhdcon4 :

#

hostname

cvhdcon4 
#

netstat -I lan1

Name      Mtu  Network         Address         Ipkts   Ierrs Opkts   Oerrs Coll 
lan1      1500 172.16.14.0     cvhdcon4        3463    0     1603    0     2 
# 
#

netstat -in

Name     Mtu  Network         Address         Ipkts   Ierrs Opkts  Oerrs Coll 
lan1     1500 172.16.14.0     172.16.14.44    3819    0     1948   0     2 
lo0      4136 127.0.0.0       127.0.0.1       916     0     916    0     0

lanscan

Path     Address        In# State NamePPA        ID  Type      Support Mjr# 
0/10/0/0 0x00306E0653E8 1   UP    lan1 snap1     1   ETHER     Yes     119 
#

This output shows that lan1 is the network interface devoted to vPar cable2 on this server. The lanscan output shows that this interface has a hardware path of 0/10/0/0 . The LBA of 0/10 was configured as a component of the vPar when it was created with -a io:0/10/ . Unlike the LAN interface on the Core I/O card that was an implied component, this LAN interface is in a separate PCI slot and LBA and therefore had to be specified explicitly when the vPar was created.

Running lanadmin on cable1 produces more detailed output related to lan0, as shown in the following listing:

This lanadmin output shows lan1 as the configured LAN interface on cable2 .

Producing information specific to the vPar in which you issue a command is what you can expect when working at the command line with vPars.

Next, let's take a look at a couple of GlancePlus/UX outputs.
