Installing and Managing HP-UX Virtual Partitions (A.02.01)

Problem with Adding Unbound CPUs to a Virtual Partition

Cause

Appendix B166

When vpar3 boots again, its kernel will create the correct entries for the

unbound CPUs, which are now at x03 and x04. The conﬁguration

becomes:

Because the unbound CPUs are at x03 and x04 and the kernel entries for

vpar3 are x03 and x04, the command to add an unbound CPU to vpar3

# vparmodify -a vpar3 -a cpu::1

now will be successful.
