• To delete 1 GB of Socket Local Memory on enclosure 1, blade 2, socket 0 from the same virtual partition: vparmodify -N nPar0001 -p vPar0001 -d socket:1/2/0:mem::1024 • To add the I/O card in IOX 6, I/O bay 2, slot 3 to the virtual partition (io and ioslot syntax): vparmodify -N nPar0001 -p vPar0001 -a io:6/2/0/0/2 or vparmodify -N nPar0001 -p vPar0001 -a ioslot:6/2/3 Commands: Displaying vPars Resource Information (vparstatus) On HP Integrity Superdome 2, the Partition Controller running on the OA maintains all the information about the virtual partitions, including the current state of the virtual partitions and their resources. To display this information, use the command vparstatus. This section describes the possible states of a virtual partition and the common usages of the vparstatus command. This information is also available in the OA GUI. Virtual Partition States Virtual partitions can either be in the active or inactive state. An inactive virtual partition can boot as a single operating system. The initiation of the boot operation changes the state from inactive to active. Table 10 RunStates of an inactive Virtual Partition State Description DOWN The virtual partition is fully halted. This is the result of a normal /etc/shutdown -h command, or after it has been created. ACTIVATING DEACTIVATING1 This run-state is displayed when a boot is initiated on a virtual partition. The virtual partition then becomes active with an FWBOOT run-state. This run-state is displayed when a shutdown or reboot of a virtual partition is being processed. RESETTING1 This run-state is displayed when a reset of a virtual partition is being processed. MCA1 This run-state is displayed when an Machine Check Abort (MCA) of a virtual partition is being processed. DEFINED The virtual partition definition exists in the current partition specification and the nPartition is booted in nPars mode. ALT_DEFINED The virtual partition definition is defined in an alternate partition specification. 1 An inactive vPar can be in the DEACTIVATING, RESETTING or MCA RunStates, if it encounters an error or is interrupted during the activation process. Table 11 RunStates of an active Virtual Partition State FWBOOT EFI OSBOOT UP SHUT Description The virtual partition normally reaches this run-state from the ACTIVATING run-state when the virtual partition is marked as active. This is a transitional run-state and normally reaches the EFI run-state. The virtual partition reaches this run-state after the firmware boot process launches the EFI shell. The virtual partition reaches this run-state after the operating system is launched. This is a transitional run-state and normally reaches the UP run-state. The virtual partition is in this run-state when the operating system is completely functional. A shutdown/reboot/reset operation has been initiated on this partition.
