Partition specifications (parspec) A parspec is a collection of data that defines the configuration of a specific nPartition, including all defined vPars. You may use the parspec functionality to do the following: • Save nPartition and vPartition configurations. • Modify configurations • Create partitions The following are the key features of parspecs. • Every parspec defines only one nPartition. • Multiple nPartitions must be described in multiple parspecs. • A nPartition can be created from a specified parspec. • Every nPartition that exists has a parspec associated with it (referred to as a current parspec), and there can be only one current parspec for a given nPartition. • Any parspec not associated with an existing nPartition is an alternate parspec. • Every parspec has a unique name (scope of uniqueness is a complex). • Parspecs can be managed through the partition commands. • The vPar database resides within a parspec. 28 Getting started with nPartitions
