Creating a New vPar
This section gives details on how to create a new Virtual Partition.
NOTE Before creating a Virtual Partition you should already have planned how
the local nPartition’s resources will be assigned to the vPars running in
the local nPartition.
See the section Planning vPar Configurations for HP nPartition Servers
on page 467 for info on planning vPars configurations for use in
nPartitions.
vPar Management: Creating a New vPar in an nPartition
This procedure creates a new Virtual Partition from HP-UX running in a
vPar on a Superdome nPartition.
The book Installing and Managing HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars) also
has detailed vPars information.
Step 1. Login to HP-UX running on one of the vPars within an nPartition.
Step 2. Complete all vPar resource planning and confirm that the resources are
available for the new vPar you intend to create.
See the section Planning vPar Configurations for HP nPartition Servers
on page 467 for planning details.
Issue the vparstatus -A command to list the processors, memory, and
I/O busses that are not yet assigned to any vPar.
The vparstatus -A command should list all hardware you plan to
assign to the new vPar. If any hardware you planned to assign is not
available then you must either must revise your plans or unassign or
otherwise make the hardware available.
