nPars

Hi,

Can you please advise with nPar reformation? The status I have is following: 2 x rx8640, on each server are two nPars running, each nPar has 6CPUs, which means there are 12 CPUs per server.

I need to change configuration in following way:
On each server will remain two nPars, but one will have 4 CPUs and second 8 CPUs.

And my question is, whether this can be done online, if CPU needs to be physically replaced by technician, or I can do it online.

nPars on different systems are clustered.

#swlist | grep HPUX11i
HPUX11i-OE-Ent B.11.23.0403 HP-UX Enterprise Operating Environment Component
HPUX11i-OE-MC B.11.23.0409 HP-UX Mission Critical Operating Environment Component


Can you please give a short hint?

Re: nPars

I don't know how many cells are there, but assuming there are 2 cells with 3 cpu modules each, you need to move a module from one cell to another.

Hope this helps!

Re: nPars

This is a single cell, but there are 2 cells in each nPar.

Please post

# parstatus

# icapstatus

Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: nPars

Yes, I've posted just one, but they have same number of CPU. icapstatus is not present on system.

Note: No action specified. Default behavior is display all.

Re: nPars

I think, that second cell is second system.

Re: nPars

cab0,cell0 Active Core 6/0/8 24.0/0.0 cab0,bay0,chassis0 yes yes 0
cab0,cell1 Active Core 8/0/8 88.0/0.0 cab0,bay0,chassis1 yes yes 1
cab0,cell2 Active Base 6/0/8 24.0/0.0 - no yes 0
cab0,cell3 Active Base 4/0/8 80.0/0.0 - no yes 1


You have 4 cells,

cell0+cell2 = npar0

cell1+cell3 = npar1

cell0(6cpu)+cell2(6cpu)=12cpu

cell1(8cpu)+cell3(4cpu)=12cpu

run "machinfo" on each nPar to confirm

Hope this helps!
