vparmodify error

vparmodify error adding CPU's to existing system.

I am not able to add any more CPU's to the existing VPAR:

The command used is vparmodify –p usrnv562 –a cpu:0/128

vparmodify Error: "-a cpu:0/128": CPU is not a core.  Please use ioscan(1M) to determine core CPU paths.

vparmodify Error: "-a cpu:0/130": CPU is not a core.  Please use ioscan(1M) to determine core CPU paths.

vparmodify Error: "-a cpu:0/132": CPU is not a core.  Please use ioscan(1M) to determine core CPU paths.

vparmodify Error: "-a cpu:0/133": CPU is not a core.  Please use ioscan(1M) to determine core CPU paths.

vparmodify Error: "-a cpu:0/134": CPU is not a core.  Please use ioscan(1M) to determine core CPU paths.

vparmodify Error: "-a cpu:1/128": CPU is not a core.  Please use ioscan(1M) to determine core CPU paths.

ioscan shows that the hardware paths are available...

Better to ask such questions in hp-ux forum, not in server forum.

However, you should at least tell the server model and OS/vpars version. An ioscan and vparstatus output would be helpful too.

I prefer to handle CPU only by a count of number, not by hardware path. Why not let the system decide what CPU to add?

Run vparstatus -d to get list of assignable CPUs.

The numbers you have given are most likely the HyperThreads of some CPU core (0/128 being HT sibling of 0/120 etc). You cannot split HTs to different vPars. Assignable entity is CPU core not CPU thread.
