HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.07) (5900-1229, September 2010)

CAUTION: Not allowing enough memory for the other partitions will cause the other partitions
to not boot. You can boot the partition by freeing up enough memory for the partition to boot,
such as by shutting down an active partition.
If there are no memory ranges available to the partition below 2 GB, the partition will not boot.
If you use the defaults of the dynamic tunables, you will not run into the 2 GB limit. However,
if you have adjusted the dynamic tunables, it is possible to run beyond the 2 GB boundary. For
more information on adjusting the kernel size with dynamic tunables, see the white paper
Dynamically Tunable Kernel Parameters at http://docs.hp.com.
Memory: Available and Assigned Amounts
vparstatus: Available ILM and CLM Memory
To determine the amount of available memory, use the vparstatus -A:
# vparstatus -A
[Available ILM (Base /Range)]: 0x3000000/80
(bytes) (MB) 0x10000000/512
0x50000000/768
0xb8000000/1024
0x100000000/1920
0x178000000/96
[Available ILM (MB)]: <none>
[Available CLM (CellID Base /Range)]: 0 0x70080000000/256
(bytes) (MB) 0 0x700b0000000/1152
0 0x700f8000000/120
[Available CLM (CellID MB)]: 0 504
1 0
NOTE: To see how memory is used by vPars in nPartitions, see Appendix D (page 319).
vparstatus: Base and Float Memory Amounts
With vPars A.05.xx, you can assign ILM and/or CLM memory as either base or float. The verbose
(-v) output of vparstatus shows how much is float relative to the total ILM and CLM memory
that is assigned.
# vparstatus -p keira4 -v
