HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.07) (5900-1229, September 2010)

vparstatus: CPU Information on vPars A.04/A.05
While a virtual partition is in the down state, no specific CPU is assigned to the virtual partition
as the boot processor but one is allocated by the vPars Monitor if needed (there are no CPUs
assigned to the virtual partition). The boot processor is determined when the virtual partition is
booted.
Note that the output does not determine which commands were issued; different commands
can be used to arrive at the same vparstatus output.
Example
Table 5-3 possible commands to arrive at vparstatus output
set of possible commands in sequence to create vparstatus output
vparstatus output (final)
# vparcreate -p keira1 -a cpu:::1:12 -a cpu::4
(min==1, max==12, total==4
4 non-CLPs are reserved by the Monitor)
# vparmodify -p keira1 -a cpu:1/10 -a cpu:1/12
(since the vpar is down, total is not modified.
therefore, 2 of the 4 CPUs assigned by the
Monitor
become user-assigned by hardware_path (1.10 and
1.12).
total==4 (2 assigned by hardware path and
2 assigned by Monitor))
# vparmodify -p keira1 -a cell:1:cpu::1
(since the specification is by CLP, total is
modified.
the Monitor chooses which CPU from cell 1.
totat==5 (2 assigned by hardware path and
2 assigned by Monitor and
1 assigned by CLP))
# vparboot -p keira1
assume I/O and memory have been assigned so that
keira1
can boot. at boot time:
min==1, max==12
user-assigned CPU is 1.10
boot processor is chosen by Monitor to be the
other
user-assigned CPU at 1.12
2 CPUs assigned by Monitor are 0.10 and 0.11
1 CPU assigned by the Monitor by CLP is 1.11
