Adding HBA to vpar

[Arockia Jegan]

I have a rp7410 system with 2 vpars running with 11.11. It's connected to SAN and I want to add the second HBA to one of the vpars. The card is physically there on the server but not added to any vpars.

Can some one please send me the steps required to add the HBA to a vpar?

Thanks

Havn't worked yet with vpars (only npars) but in this doc:

http://docs.hp.com/en/7042/T1335-90041.pdf

Says you can add LBA's with the vparmodify command (probably can do it in the vparmgr gui as well)

IO Syntax in Brief
the basic core syntax for adding or deleting IO resources is
-a|d io:hardware_path
where
a is adding
d is deleting
hardware_path is the hardware path of the IO
Examples
â ¢ To add all hardware using the SBA/LBA hardware path of 1/2 to an existing partition winona2:
winona1# vparmodify -p winona2 -a io:1.2
â ¢ To remove all hardware with SBA/LBA 1/2 from partition winona2:

winona1# vparmodify -p winona2 -d io:1.2

NOTE The virtual partition must be in the down state to add or delete IO resources.

to add any resource to a VPar, that VPar must be in a DOWN state, so you need to halt the VPar that you require tio have the new card, then from the other running VPar use vparmodify:
vparmodify -p -a io:
Where this io path is the io path at the LBA level shown in ioscan, e.g. 0/2/0

You could also use the vparmgr gui
