Managing Resources With Only One Virtual Partition
In some cases, adding and deleting I/O and memory resources to and from a virtual partition requires the
virtual partition to be in the down state. Therefore, if you have configured only one virtual partition, you
cannot run vparmodify from that virtual partition to modify its I/O and memory resources.
In this situation, you should do the following:
1. Boot into standalone (PA-RISC) or nPars (Integrity) mode.
2. Add or delete the resources using vparmodify.
3. Reboot the nPartition into the vPars (PA-RISC) environment or vPars (Integrity) mode.
NOTE Beginning with A.05.01, the vPar does not have to be in the down state if memory is being
added, or float memory is being deleted. The vPar must be in the down state only if base
memory is being deleted.
