In the output, all the fields that are specific to the option that you use with the ipmpstat command are displayed, except in the case of the ipmpstat -p syntax. If you want to specify the fields to be displayed, then you use the -o option in conjunction with other options that determine the output mode of the command. This option is particularly useful when you issue the command from a script or by using a command alias

     # ipmpstat -o all
