Hello, all,

I have questions about create two vpar over an npar.

Any sample command about vparcreate for create 1 vpar include two cellboard ?

for example, we have cellboard 0, cellboard 1, cellboard 2, and cellboard 3,
each cellboard contain 4 physical cpus(dual core). and each cellboard have 8 gb memory. four cellboard connect to 1 i/o chassis.

following correct ?
vparcreate -p vpar0 -a cpu::16 -a cpu:::16:64 -a mem::16384 -a io:0/0/0 -a io:0/0/1 -a io:0/0/2 \
-a io:0/0/4 -a io:0/0/5 -a io:0/0/6 -a io:0/0/8 -a io:0/0/9 -a io:0/0/10 -a io:0/0/12 \
-a io:1/0/0 -a io:1/0/1 -a io:1/0/2 -a io:1/0/4 -a io:1/0/5 -a io:1/0/6 -a io:1/0/8 -a io:1/0/9 \
-a io:1/0/10 -a io:1/0/12 -a io:0/0/2/1/0.0.0:boot -a io:0/0/4/1/0.0.0:altboot \
-a io:0/0/2/1/0.2.0:altboot

Thanks

Matthew you can't do this
You only can have one bootdisk and one alternative.
please see the doc for this.
http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11i.html#Virtual%20Partitions

your command says you can use minimaal 16 cpu and max 64 cpu. I don't know what your gone run but that's a lot.
so it's more this command.

vparcreate -p vpar0 -a cpu::16 -a mem::16384 -a io:/0.0 -a io:1.0 -a io:0/0/2/1/0.0.0:boot \-a io:0/0/2/1/0.2.0:altboot

grtz. Mark

Hi,

what version of HP-UX and vPars you are using?
Just in case it is 11.11, you should think about bound and unbound CPUs too.

What type of system do you have?
3 cells can have a maximum of 24 CPU cores, so the number 64 looks like a little to high.
