or
# vparmodify —p {vpar_id} —m cpu::{total number of cores to be set}
When you add cores by count, the partitioning firmware selects the best fit from the available
cores on a LORA enabled system. The firmware finds the cores on the same socket or on the
socket that is closest to the memory that is already in the vPar.
• By specifying socket along with count: In this method, you can manually select the socket from
which the cores must be added, and then specify the number of cores you want from that
socket. You can use a single command to add cores from multiple sockets. If you specify more
cores than the number available on any of the sockets, the command fails. When you add
by count, you can either specify the number of cores to add from each socket, or the total
number of cores that should be in use from each socket. The format for this is either:
MyComplex> vparmodify —N {npar_id} —p {vpar_id} —a
socket:{socket_id}:cpu::{number of cores to add}
For example,
vparmodify -N 1 -p 1 -a socket:1/3/1:cpu::1
vparmodify: Operation initiated successfully. Please run
vparstatus with -v option to determine the completion
status of the operation.
vparstatus -p 1:1 -v
