I had a NPAR with three celboard. There are 8 vpars running on this Npar.
Out of the three cellboard, one the cell board is having vrm module faulty.
I would like to know that for replacement of the vrm module do we need to shutdown the whole NPAR.
or
Could we only shutdown the vpar running with that faulty cellboard.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionHere's the Dynamic nPars document:
http://docs.hp.com/en/10907/dynamic_nPars_WP.pdf
Unfortunately, on page 9 of that document, it says (emphasis mine):
-----
Dynamic nPartitions, virtual partitions, and Integrity Virtual Machines
HP-UX 11i v3 Virtual Partitions enable dynamic operation through processor and memory migration among vPars. However, _Dynamic nPartitions operations cannot be performed to an nPartition that is
running vPars_.
[...]
-----
So, it looks like it's necessary to shutdown the entire nPar, because the vPar monitor cannot (yet?) deal with on-line activation & deactivation of whole cells.

Re: VRM Module Replacement
Yes indeed replacement of a VRM needs a downtime for the NPAR.
Since vpar is a virtual setup which depends on the Npar shutting down of that vpar does not help you in any ways.

Re: VRM Module Replacement
Yes, you will have to shutdown the npar as well. then power off the cell board and replace the vrm nodule.
power back up the cell and boot up the npar/vpars
what system is it, as you will probably get away with not fully powering the system off totally. Just shutdown the os's and the cellboard which has the problem. If you need to patch anything now maybe a good time too.
