vparcreate2(1M)

For OA Based Partition Management Systems

vparcreate2(1M)

1) Blade resident I/O is speciﬁed as enclosure

#/blade#/io_slot#

For example:

Short form: 3/6/1

Medium form: ioslot-3/6/1

Long form: enclosure3/blade6/ioslot1

2) I/O bay resident I/O is speciﬁed as enclosure

#/iobay#/io_slot#

For example:

Short form: 7/1/4

Medium form: ioslot-7/1/4

Long form: enclosure7/iobay1/ioslot4

• io_path for:

1) Blade resident I/O is speciﬁed as enclosure

#/blade#/IO_hub#/root_complex#/root_port #

For example:

Short form: 3/6/0/1/2

Medium form: iorp-3/6/0/1/2

Long form: enclosure3/blade6/iohub0/iorc1/iorp2

2) I/O bay resident I/O is speciﬁed as enclosure

#/IO_bay#/

IO_hub#/root_complex#/root_port#

For example:

Short form: 7/1/0/1/2

Medium form: iorp-7/1/0/1/2

Long form: enclosure7/iobay1/iohub0/iorc1/iorp2

Note that there is a one-to-one correspondence between root ports (speciﬁed along with io_path) and

ioslots (speciﬁed along with ioslot_path) on SD2 servers. The verbose output of blades and iobays

displayed by parstatus shows the correspondence between rootports and ioslots.

• Please note that unlike nPartitions, vPartition ilm_size and slm_size are speciﬁed in MB (megabytes).

The commands round ilm_size and slm_size upward as required to the granule increment in effect for

that memory type. ilm_size and slm_size may be speciﬁed in decimal or in hexadecimal. A hex

speciﬁcation should be preceded by 0x, as in 0x8000000.

SECURITY RESTRICTIONS

When invoked from the OS, this command is restricted to processes owned by superuser having appropri-

ate

parperm privilege. An OA user with operator privilege level or above can create virtual partitions

from the OA.

RETURN VALUE

The

vparcreate command exits with one of the following values:

0 Successful completion.

1 One or more error conditions occurred.

EXAMPLES

Create the virtual partition called

Oslo in the local nPartition, specifying 1 GB of ILM, 2 CPUs and an

I/O device (io and ioslot syntax).

vparcreate -p Oslo -a mem::1024 -a cpu::2 -a io:5/1/0/1/2

vparcreate -p Oslo -a mem::1024 -a cpu::2 -a ioslot:5/1/6

From OA, create the same virtual partition, this time in the speciﬁed nPartition Norway (io and

ioslot syntax).

vparcreate -p Oslo -N Norway -a mem::1024 -a cpu::2 \

-a io:5/1/0/1/2

vparcreate -p Oslo -N Norway -a mem::1024 -a cpu::2 \

-a ioslot:5/1/6

Same command with npar_id:vpar_id syntax.

vparcreate -p Norway:Oslo -a mem::1024 -a cpu::2 -a io:5/1/0/1/2

vparcreate -p Norway:Oslo -a mem::1024 -a cpu::2 -a ioslot:5/1/6
