vparcreate2(1M)

For OA Based Partition Management Systems

vparcreate2(1M)

Create the same virtual partition, this time in the speciﬁed partition speciﬁcation Bergen (io and ioslot

syntax).

vparcreate -p Oslo -Z Bergen -a mem::1024 -a cpu::2 \

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

vparcreate -p Oslo -Z Bergen -a mem::1024 -a cpu::2 \

-a ioslot:5/1/6

Create a virtual partition my_vPar in the current database, specifying ﬁve processors, two of which are

Socket Local Processor, 1 GB of ILM, 2 GB of Socket Local Memory, and two I/O devices.

vparcreate -p my_vPar -a cpu::3 -a socket:3/6/0:cpu::2 \

-a mem::1024 -a socket:3/6/0:mem::2048 \

-a io:5/1/0/1/0 -a ioslot:5/1/4

Same command with core syntax.

vparcreate -p my_vPar -a core::3 -a socket:3/6/0:core::2 \

-a mem::1024 -a socket:3/6/0:mem::2048 \

-a io:5/1/0/1/0 -a ioslot:5/1/4

ERRORS

OA syslog contains additional description of errors encountered during partition operations. Users can

view the OA syslog from the OA using "SHOW SYSLOG OA" command.

"Error: System unable to accept partition commands"

The above error message is printed out under the following circumstances:

• Attempting to run command from an OA other than the active OA in enclosure 1

• System has been shut down (e.g. with POWEROFF XFABRIC, or ambient overtemp)

• The OA has not ﬁnished initializing.

In the above scenarios, please ensure the system and OA are completely up and you are running the com-

mand from the active OA in enclosure 1.

vparcreate displays error messages on standard error for any of the following conditions:

• An invalid option is speciﬁed.

• An invalid value is speciﬁed for an option or a value is omitted.

• virtual partition name or number already exists. Use the

vparmodify command instead.

• npar_id does not exist.

• One or more options other than

-a has been speciﬁed more than once or the same resource was allo-

cated more than once.

• An unavailable resource (allocated to another virtual partition or exceeding the available resource

limit) was speciﬁed.

• A value was omitted for an argument that requires one, or a value was supplied for an argument

which does not take one.

• The partition from where the command was invoked did not have sufﬁcient

parperm privileges.
