Figure 40 Remote Console
NOTE:
On HP Integrity Superdome 2,
vpmon
is not supported. If you attempt booting
vpmon
from the ISL prompt the following error message is displayed:
ERROR: Unsupported boot environment for vpar monitor! Booting vpmon not supported on this
platform Resetting the system!
Managing: Creating a Virtual Partition
You can create a virtual partition using the
vparcreate
command.
Examples
•
Consider that you want to create a virtual partition (vPar0001) in the first nPartition (nPar0001),
with 6 cores, 4 gigabytes of RAM, and the HBA in IO extender 6, Bay 2, Slot 3. This is done
from the OA command line with the
vparcreate
command. Because the command is issued
outside the nPar, either the option
–
N
{nParID} or the vParID format of {nParID}:{vParID} is
used. For nPartitions, the ID can either be the partition name or number:
vparcreate
–
N nPar0001
–
p vPar0001 -a cpu::6 -a mem::4096 -a
ioslot:6/2/3
•
Consider that you want to create another virtual partition within the same nPartition, nPar0001,
with 2 cores, 8 gigabytes of RAM, and the HBA in IO extender 6, Bay 2, Slot 4.
vparcreate
–
N nPar0001
–
p vPar0002
Use the
vparmodify
command to assign the resources.
vparmodify -p nPar0001:vPar0002 -a cpu::2 -a mem::8192 -a
ioslot:6/2/4
You can check the list of vPars and assigned resources using the following command:

Booting a Virtual Partition
To boot a virtual partition, use the
poweron
command. The virtual partition must exist and be in
the DOWN RunState. To shutdown a booted virtual partition, see
“Shutting Down or Rebooting a
Virtual Partition” (page 98)
.
