vparstatus: CPU information on vPars A.04/A.05
While a virtual partition is in the down state, no specific CPU is assigned to the virtual partition as the boot
processor but one is allocated by the Monitor if needed (there are no CPUs assigned to the virtual partition).
The boot processor is determined when the virtual partition is booted.
Note that the output does not determine which commands were issued; different commands can be used to
arrive at the same vparstatus output.

# vparcreate -p keira1 -a cpu:::1:12 -a cpu::4
(min==1, max==12, total==4
4 non-CLPs are reserved by the Monitor)
# vparmodify -p keira1 -a cpu:1/10 -a cpu:1/12
(since the vpar is down, total is not modified.
therefore, 2 of the 4 CPUs assigned by the Monitor
become user-assigned by hardware_path (1.10 and 1.12).
total==4 (2 assigned by hardware path and
2 assigned by Monitor))
# vparmodify -p keira1 -a cell:1:cpu::1
(since the specification is by CLP, total is modified.
the Monitor chooses which CPU from cell 1.
totat==5 (2 assigned by hardware path and
2 assigned by Monitor and
1 assigned by CLP))
# vparboot -p keira1
assume I/O and memory have been assigned so that keira1
can boot. at boot time:
min==1, max==12
user-assigned CPU is 1.10
boot processor is chosen by Monitor to be the other
user-assigned CPU at 1.12
2 CPUs assigned by Monitor are 0.10 and 0.11
1 CPU assigned by the Monitor by CLP is 1.11
