HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator's Guide (includes A.03.05 and A.04.05)

use the corresponding vparcreate command line options:
vparcreate OptionResource or Attribute
-p winona2
virtual partition name is winona2
-a cpu::3
three total CPUs
-a cpu:::2:4
of which two are bound CPUs and a maximum of four CPUs
-a cpu:41 -a cpu:45
at hardware paths 41 and 45
-a mem::1280
1280 MB of memory
-a io:0.8
all hardware where the LBA is at 0/8
-a io:1.10
all hardware where the LBA is at 1/10
-a io:0.8.0.0.5.0:boot
hardware at 0/8/0/0.5.0 as the boot disk
The resulting vparcreate command line is:
winona1# vparcreate -p winona2 -a cpu::3 -a cpu:::2:4 -a cpu:41 -a
cpu:45 -a mem::1280 -a io:0.8 -a io:1.10 -a io:0.8.0.0.5.0:boot
TIP: For the vparcreate options, you can create a text file that includes all the options and
then cat the text file within the vparcreate command line. This avoids having to remember
all the options when you are typing the vparcreate command line.
For example, for the vPars A.03.xx vparcreate command of winona2, you can create a text
file called /stand/winona2.opts:
winona1# vi /stand/winona2.opts
The text file would contain the following:
-p winona2 \
-a cpu::3 \
-a cpu:::2:4 \
-a cpu:41 \
-a cpu:45 \
-a mem::1280 \
-a io:0.8 \
-a io:1.10 \
-a io:0.8.0.0.5.0:boot
When you are ready to execute the vparcreate command, the command appears as:
winona1# vparcreate ‘cat /stand/winona2.opts‘
You can verify the creation using the vparstatus command:
winona1# vparstatus -p winona2 -v
Managing: Removing a Virtual Partition
To remove a virtual partition, use vparremove. vparremove purges the virtual partition from
the vPars database. Any resources dedicated to the virtual partition are now free to allocate to
a different virtual partition (for A.03, see Appendix B for exceptions).
You need to shutdown the virtual partition before attempting removal. If the target virtual
partition is running, vparremove will fail.
