vparcreate

vparcreate -p vpar01  -a cpu::2 -a io:0/0 -a io:0/4 -a mem::1024 -a io:/0/0/2/0.6.0:boot -B auto

create vpar with 3 total cpu and  2 bound cpu at hardware path 41 and 45 and maximum of 4 cpus

vparcreate -p vpar01 -a cpu::3  -a cpu:::2:4 -a cpu:41 -a cpu:45  -a io:0/0 -a io:0/4 -a mem::1024
                                                                                                    -a io:/0/0/2/0.6.0:boot -B auto

Bound CPUs are attached to a vPar and cannot be removed while the vPar is up and running. IO interupts use the bound CPUs.

Booting monitor

vpar monitor is a file called /stand/vpmon. This file is loaded before hpux kernel is loaded. It will be loaded at ISL prompt.

Manually loading vpmon

Iterrupt boot at ISL prompt and then

ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon
MON>

boot/load commands available in vparmon prompt

MON> vparload  -all                         (boots all vpars )

MON> vparload -p vpar01                (boots vpar01)

MON> vparload -auto                       (boots all vpars, whose atuoboot flag set to AUTO)

MON> vparload -p vpar01 -o "is"         (boot vpar in single user mode )

MON > vparload -p vpar01 -b /stand/vmunix.prev ( boot alternate kernel)

MON > vparload -p vpar01 -B 0/3/0/0.2.0  (boot using disk device)

Boot vpar without entering vpmon prompt

ISL>hpux /stand/vpmon -p vpar01

Default partition database is /stand/vpdb


Booting  another vpar from running vpar


vpar01# vparboot -p vpar02

Modify  primary boot path

vpar01#vparmodify -p vpar01 -m io:0/4/0/0.0.5.0:BOOT

Modify alternate boot path

vpar01# vparmodofy -p vpar01 -m io:0/6/0/0.8.0:ALTBOOT

Delete a vpar

vpar01# vparremove -p vpar02

TOC a vpar

vpar01#vparreset -p vpar02 -t

shutdown/halt a  vpar 

vpar01#shutdown -h now

vpar01#vpararrest -p vpar02 -h

Status of vpar

vpar01# vparstatus


vpar01#vparstatus -v  -p vpar01
