How many vPar i may create in nPar

[Goriik]

I need information how many vPar i can create i nPar. Where to find this in the documentation? Is there a limit?

[Jupinder Bedi]

you can go through this document

http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11i.html

creating a no. of vpars are totally depend upon the no. of resources available in the npar.

Hi

It depend on what configuration you are using like how many cells or IO chasis.Noramally Vpar requierd following confugiration
1.At list one cpu
2.The minimum ammount of memory to support HP-UX (1 GB)
3.IO capability to support a boot device.
4.A LAN card to support networking.

Limited to only output nPar? As you can count the number? Perhaps there is a calculator?

From forum:

The maximum nPar configuration for a vPar can be up to 8 Cell Boards of 64CPUs.

Each nPar can be carved up to a maximum of only 8 vPars at this time.

Where is it written or not written?

Shalom,

Each vpar needs a boot disk and a network connection.

The limit to vpar creation depends on how much i/o and network connections you have available.

Not sure if it is in the release notes or config guide, but it is 8 per nPar.

It is the order and config guide:

Table 4-8 Maximum Number of Virtual Partitions Per Server


You will find total per server, total per nPar - depending on server model, but max. per nPar is 8.

[sen_ux]

It is clearly stated in the HP docs.

Max is 8 per nPar. but it is again depended on the server model. Not all model support 8 vPars.

HP recommends,
The recommended number of virtual partitions per nPartition is equal up to one-half the installed
CPUs (processing cores) in the nPartition in order to meet I/O and memory requirements and to
allow for cores that can be used for dynamic processing core migration.

[Shivaprasad V]

It depends on the no of processors and core cell capable cells available in the system.

any vpar with minimum config requires:
one processor
one lan
one disk

so depending on the available resources we can create that many vpars.
