Licensing and vPars
Once any vPar or hard partition is valid and licensed, the following are
valid and automatically licensed (assuming the iCOD software is
installed):
• other vPars, within the same complex
• other hard partitions, within the same complex
Static vPars
If a vPar is static (that is, the resources cannot be migrated, added,
deleted, or modified) and you attempt to activate or deactivate
processors, the iCOD software displays a message indicating that the
configuration of the processor resources cannot be modified.
NOTE The icod_stat command’s output indicates that the number of
unassigned processors that can be assigned (to the local vPar) is
zero if the static resource attribute for the local vPar is set.
LPMC Deactivations in vPars
In a vPar environment, if the Low Priority Machine Check (LPMC)
monitor deactivates a processor, it does not automatically replace the
failing processor with an iCOD processor. The processor replacement
must be performed manually by using the icod_modify command to
assign a replacement processor, if one exists. The failing processor
remains in the vPar until the vPar is rebooted.
