devices on HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX 11i v3 vPars. The attached devices configured using
AVIO (avio_stor adapter), have the following benefits over attached devices configured with
VIO (scsi adapter):
1. Allow sharing of tapes, changers, and burners among multiple vPars and VSPs
2. Support of USB 2.0 DVD burners
3. Improved performance
If the VSP is running HP-UX 11i v3, the Add Storage Device screen gives you the choice of
listing storage devices by their agile address (the default) or by their legacy address. HP
recommends using agile device addressing when configuring storage devices. This provides
benefits especially for multipath devices. With legacy addressing, the screen lists one entry
for each path to a storage device that has multiple paths. With agile addressing, the screen
lists only one entry for each multipath storage device. To change the addressing scheme for
viewing, select the appropriate addressing scheme.
After you select the virtual storage adapter type, select the physical backing device from the
list of devices provided in the device selection table.
NOTE: Any devices added using the Create Virtual Partition wizard are not functional on
the vPar until the new vPar is started. Certain devices are not seen in a Virtual Server Manager
Storage tab until the vPar is started.
7. Summary
Review the identity and resources specified for the new vPar and preview the command that
will be used to create the new vPar. This summary step allows you to review all the information
before the new vPar is created.
At this step, you can still cancel (exit the Create Virtual Partition wizard) or return to modify
previous steps in the wizard. When you click Finish, the wizard executes the vparcreate
commands displayed in the Command Preview area.
Modifying vPars
To modify a vPar, select one of the following items from the Virtual Server Manager Modify menu.
For more information about any item, see the corresponding Virtual Server Manager help topic.
NOTE: You can modify only one vPar at a time.
• Base Memory Size and Float Memory Size to modify the memory configurations for a selected
vPar.
• vPar CPU Count to modify the virtual CPU count for a selected vPar.
• vPar LAN Settings to modify VLAN assignments of virtual switch ports connected to the target
vPar.
• Add/Modify Virtual iLO Remote Console to modify the IP Address and Net mask details of
virtual iLO remote console of a vPar. If the vPar does not have a virtual iLO associated with
it, you can create the virtual iLO remote console from the Add/Modify Virtual iLO Remote
Console screen. For more information, see the Add/Modify Virtual iLO Remote Console help
topic.
• Add Storage Device to vPar to add a virtual storage device to selected vPar, where the virtual
storage device is backed by physical storage and connected to a virtual storage adapter on
the VSP.
• Add Network Device to vPar to add network devices and vswitches for vPars.
