Virtual Partitions (vPars) Management on nPartitions

Modifying vPar Conﬁguration Attributes

HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1

482

See the section Conﬁguring vPar Resources and Attributes on page 447

for descriptions of the vPars conﬁguration options.

Also see the vparmodify (1M) manpage for details.

For example, the following commands set the vPar named “Mesh” to be

conﬁgured for autoboot; conﬁgure “Shad” to have 4 processors; and

conﬁgure “Mesh” to have 12 processors:

# vparmodify -p Mesh -B auto

# vparmodify -p Shad -m cpu::4

# vparmodify -p Mesh -m cpu::12

Step 4. Issue the vparstatus command to list the new status for the vPar you

modiﬁed in the previous step.

You can make further changes to the vPar by issuing additional

vparmodify commands.
