Impact on vPars Commands: Specifying CPU
Since the nPartitionable systems include the cell in the hardware path, when specifying a CPU hardware
path, you must include the cell number to specify the entire CPU hardware path.
On a non-nPartitionable system, if the ioscan output shows
41 processor Processor
45 processor Processor
where 41 and 45 are the hardware paths of two CPUs. Thus, the vparcreate command might look like:
# vparcreate -p winona2 -a cpu::2 -a cpu:::2 -a cpu:41 -a cpu:45 ...
But for an nPartitionable system, if the ioscan output shows
0/12 processor Processor
0/13 processor Processor
where 0/12 and 0/13 are the cell/processor hardware paths, then the vparcreate command would look like:
# vparcreate -p vpar2 -a cpu::2 -a cpu:::2 -a cpu:0/12 -a cpu:0/13 ...
