Virtual Partitions (vPars) Management on nPartitions
vPars Requirements and Recommendations
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 457
HP recommends that, for best performance, you do not configure
HP-UX lan0 to use the nPartition’s Core I/O LAN (on HP Superdome
servers, the LAN at hardware path cell /0/0/1/0).
The HP Superdome Core I/O card is a PCI-1x card that possibly
provides lower performance than a comparable PCI-2x or PCI-4x
card.
❏ If you require that a vPar not be reconfigured then you should set
the vPar to be “static”. For details, see Dynamic vPars and Static
vPars on page 461.
The next section gives detailed guidelines for creating fault-tolerant
Virtual Partition configurations on nPartitions.
