We have three CPUs that were not assigned to any of the virtual partitions, so we will have three CPUs
available.
vPars A.03.xx and earlier
For this example, winona1 will have two bound CPUs, winona2 will have two bound CPUs where the
hardware paths will be 41 and 45, and winona3 will have one bound CPU.
Unbound CPUs are assigned in quantity. We have three CPUs that were not assigned to any of the virtual
partitions, so we will have three unbound CPUs available.
Memory
For detailed information on memory allocation, please read “Memory: Allocation Concepts and Notes (vPars
A.04, A.03 and earlier)” on page 173.
In our examples, we will use the following sizes:
IO
For detailed information on IO Assignments, see “IO: Allocation Notes (vPars A.04, A.03 and earlier)” on
page 158.
For simplified IO block diagrams of the LBA to physical slot relationship of PA-RISC systems, see
Appendix A, “LBA Hardware Path -> Physical IO Slot Correspondence (PA-RISC only),” on page 217.
Assigning IO at the LBA Level
Looking at the full ioscan output to verify that we have the desired IO for each virtual partition, we will
assign the IO at the LBA level. (When assigning hardware at the LBA level to a partition, all hardware at and
below the specified LBA is assigned to the partition.):
