Virtual Partitions (vPars) Management on nPartitions
vPar Configuration Planning
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 469
vPar Configuration Planning
Table 11-1 is for planning vPar attributes and resource assignments.
For each vPar, you must specify: a vPar name, at least one bound CPU,
at least one I/O slot, a PRI boot path, and enough memory to boot
HP-UX. The default vPar attributes establish a dynamic configuration
that manually boots the /stand/vmunix kernel with no boot options.
The “Host Info” column in Table 11-1 includes configuration details for
HP-UX networking (the hostname, IP, gateway, and so on).
Also see Configuring vPar Resources and Attributes on page 447.
