add memory to Vpar

[Popy]

Two questions,

1. What version of Vpar do I have, here is what I see in swlist -

VParProvider B.11.11.01.01 vPar Provider
vParManager B.11.11.01.02 Virtual Partition Manager for HP-UX

# vParManager B.11.11.01.02 Virtual Partition Manager for HP-UX
vParManager.VPARMGR-HELP B.11.11.01.02 Virtual Partition Manager On-line Help
vParManager.VPARMGR-MAN B.11.11.01.02 Virtual Partition Manager Manual Pages
vParManager.VPARMGR-RUN B.11.11.01.02 Virtual Partition Management

# VParProvider B.11.11.01.01 vPar Provider
VParProvider.VPAR-DOC B.11.11.01.01 vPar Provider Documents
VParProvider.VPAR-RUN B.11.11.01.01 vPar Provider Runtime

2. I am planning to allocate more memory to this Vpar ( I have memory available in the Npar),

can I add memory (16 GB more) by the following command without bringing down the VPar ?

vparmodify -p -a mem::16384

I think I have Vpar A.03.03....see here,

VirtualPartition.VPAR-KRN A.03.03.06 Virtual Partition Kernel Files
VirtualPartition.VPAR-MON2 A.03.03.06 Virtual Partition Monitor
VirtualPartition.VPAR-RUN A.03.03.06 Virtual Partition User Space Commands

Hi,

The vpar that you would like to modify the memory, must be in down state.

Regards,
Sandy

Yes thats the vpar version in use on the system.

As far as memory addition is concerned it has to be done while that vpar is down so need to bring down this vpar and execute vparmodify from another vpar.

You have Vpars version A.03.03
You may want to look at updating to a newer version. If you want to add memory to a Vpar, it must be in the DOWN state to do this.
See page 284 of http://docs.hp.com/en/T1335-90068/T1335-90068.pdf

Unless you have float memory...

Before I booted one of my vpars, it had 16GB assigned.

vparmodify -p pcvp1103 -d mem::8192
vparmodify -p pcvp1103 -a mem::8192:float

Now it has 8 GB fixed and 8 GB float.

vparboot -p pcvp1103

After it is up and running, I can do this live:

vparmodify -p pcvp1103 -d mem::4096:float

So - I just took away 4 GB - which I can assign elsewhere...on the fly:

vparmodify -p pcvp1101 -a mem::4096:float

Well Geoff, you are running a A.05.0x version on 11.31, right?

There is no floating memory in the A.03.0x versions for 11.11.

Sorry - forgot to read the entire question...

Yes - I'm on the latest and greatest. :)
