vparmodify2(1M)
For OA Based Partition Management Systems
vparmodify2(1M)
NAME
vparmodify - rename a virtual partition or modify the resources of a virtual partition
SYNOPSIS
Invoked from operating system (OS):
vparmodify -p vpar_id
[-a rsrc]...
[-d rsrc]...
[-m rsrc]...
[-P new_vpname]
Invoked from Onboard Administrator (OA):
vparmodify {-pvpar_id -N npar_id |
-p npar_id:vpar_id }
[
-a rsrc]...
[-d rsrc]...
[-m rsrc]...
[-P new_vpname]
Platform Support Remarks
This
vparmodify describes functionality on systems with Onboard Administrator (OA) based par-
tition management. For vparmodify on systems not running OA based partition management,
refer to vparmodify1 (1M) by typing man vparmodify1.
DESCRIPTION
The
vparmodify command modifies resources of the specified virtual partition. The command can also
rename the virtual partition. vparmodify cannot create a virtual partition. Use the vparcreate
command for that purpose.
The
vparmodify command accepts resource path for all resource specification. Resource path can be
specified in short, medium, or long format. For example, CPU number 2
located in enclosure 3, blade 6,
socket
0 is identified in the short format as 3/6/0/2, in the medium format as
cpucore-3/6/0/2,or
in the long format as
enclosure3/blade6/cpusocket0/cpucore2
. See resourcepath (5).
Options and Arguments
• Only the
-a, -m,and/or-d
options may be specified more than once in a command.
• Resources allocated with the
-a option must be available, that is, not already assigned to a virtual
partition, and they must not exceed the overall limits of the resources.
• Resources to be modified (
-m) or deleted (-d) must be currently assigned to vpar_id .
Violation of any condition is a command error.
vparmodify recognizes the following command line options and arguments. The options are processed
from left to right.
-p vpar_id Specifies the virtual partition to be modified. vpar_id can be specified either as a number
or name. Required.
When invoked from the OS, the command modifies the specified virtual partition in the
local nPartition.
When invoked from the OA, the vpar_id should be specified either using the
npar_id
:vpar_id format or by using the -N option. When specified in the
npar_id :vpar_id format, npar_id and vpar_id can either be a number or name. The
command modifies the specified virtual partition in the specified nPartition.
-a rsrc -a adds resources to a virtual partition.
-d rsrc -d deletes resources from a virtual partition.
-m rsrc -m modifies existing resources in a virtual partition.
rsrc is a hardware resource specification, as described in detail in the vparresources(5)
manpage.
A summary of resource syntax forms is shown in Table 1. Multiple resource
specifications in the same command are allowed, but some syntax forms are restricted to
specific options, and some are only allowed once. Both are indicated in Table 1. In any
case, resources in multiple specifications must not repeat or conflict with each other.
