Creating new Partition and Moving 2 VPARS to it

[Pam Meyer]

I have 2 rp7420. Each has a single partition (partition 0) with 3 VPARS the partition.

I would like to create a second partition on each server, and move 2 of the 3 VPARS to the new partition. Basically I'm trying to separate the DEV/TEST VPARS off separately from the PROD VPARS.

Is this possible or will have to re-ignite the VPARS I want to move?

thanks in advance!

Shalom,

I would have ignite backups in any event in case something went wrong, which makes that the best way to do the job.

First qustion to ask is if you have the additional core I/O card setup to create a second Npar on this server.
Second question would be, which LBA's do the 2nd and 3rd Vpars use? If split across the two I/O chassis, it is a rebuild using Ignite.
Third question is, which cards does the 1st Vpar use? Again, if across both I/O chassis, re-ignite time!
