Action plan to make a Virtual Partition

[Mousa55]

Hi All,

I have one hp rp8420 (11.11) server with 2 CPUs & 12GB Memory.
I want to create a new Virtual partition.
what is the best action plan for that?
I read this document but it is not clear

thanks

You want to have 2 VPARs, each with 1 CPU and 6 Gb?

[Mark McDonald_2]

You need to provide more information:
What is currently running on the machine?
If something is running do you need to keep it?
What split of resources do you want?
Do you mean 2 processor boards? or 2 cores? or 1 board with 2 dual cores?

Hi All,

sorry for delay to replay.

What is currently running on the machine?
application it is running on this server.
if something is running do you need to keep it?
yes
What split of resources do you want?
disk, network card and all
Do you mean 2 processor boards? or 2 cores? or 1 board with 2 dual cores?
i mean 2 processor on 1 board with 4 dual cores

Hi Nejad,

VPARS is a virtual partitioning in which you can allocate CPU, LBA's.

Please correct me if i am wrong.

1. And what i can understand is that you are running HPUX on an NPAR.

2. You want to create a virtual partition with two CPU's and 12 GB Memory.

3. Take a NPAR ioscan output Plan that you need to find the required LBA's and that you want to assign to a VPAR.
Example vpar create
# vparcreate -p vpar1 -a io:1/0/0 -a io:1/0/1 -a io:1/0/1/1/0/1/1.6.0:boot -a cpu::2 -a mem::2048 -B auto

io:1/0/0 --LBA -It might be Disk, Lan Card,IO CARD

io:1/0/1 --LBA

io:1/0/1/1/0/1/1.6.0:boot --Path of the bootable disk
cpu::2 --Allocating two CPU's
mem::2048 --Memory 2 GB

Do reply incase you need anymore assistance

Thanks

Hi All,

yes i now running HP-UX 11.11 on an NPar and i want running HP-UX 11.11 on a new vpar, and i want to allocate the CPU and memory on 2 vpar.
how i can to begin to create a new vpar? and i don't need to HP-UX virtual CD.

and this the ioscan output
