Total number of operable system cores = 8
CPU cores allocated for VSP = 1
CPU cores allocated for vPars and VMs = 7

Total memory allocated for vPars and VMs = 27392 Mbytes
Memory in use by vPars and VMs = 1600 Mbytes
Available memory for vPars and VMs = 25792 Mbytes
Available memory for 6 (max avail.) CPU VM = 25088 Mbytes
Available memory for 6 (max avail.) CPU vPar = 25664 Mbytes

Maximum available vcpus for a VM = 6
Available CPU cores for a virtual partition = 6

The hpvmstatus shows the status of both VM and vPar which are configured on the same VSP.
# hpvmstatus
[Virtual Machines]
Virtual Machine Name VM # Type OS Type State #VCPUs #Devs #Nets Memory
==================== ===== ==== ======= ========= ====== ===== ===== =======
vm1 9 SH HPUX On (OS) 1 1 1 2 GB
vpar1 11 VP HPUX On (OS) 1 1 0 2 GB
The VM named “vm1” and a vPar named “vpar1” are running on the VSP concurrently.
On the same VSP, you can create a new VM or vPar, modify the existing VM or vPar while the
other guest types are still running.
For example, stop the VM guest:
# hpvmstop -P vm1 -g
hpvmstop: Stop the virtual machine 'vm1'? [n/y]: y
Modify the VM guest to change total vcpu to 2:
# hpvmmodify -P vm1 -c 2
Start the VM guest again:
# hpvmstart -P vm1
....
....
All the previous operations on the VM are done while the vPar is still running.

13.7 Specifying guest operating system type
Use the -O os_type option of the hpvmcreate or hpvmmodify command to specify the type
of operating system that runs on the vPar or VM.
For example, to specify hpux as the guest operating system:
# hpvmcreate -P host1 –O hpux
For specific information about installing HP-UX guests, see Chapter 2 (page 29).
If you do not specify the operating system type, it defaults to UNKNOWN. When you install the
operating system and boot the guest, this guest configuration parameter is automatically set to the
appropriate operating system type.
When a running guest transitions from running in the machine console to running in the operating
system, the operating system type is detected. If the operating system type is different from the
