nPar resources identification being in vPar

Hi,

I am using a server rx7620 for creating nPars and vPars on it.

I have created two vPars on first nPar and I do not have a list of available resources for this nPar with me any more. Now I want to create third vPar on same nPar...Now question is how do I get list of resources which I could allocate to this new vPar when I do not have the list already available.

"vparstatus -A" does not give the hardware path of all the nic and disk resources as required to be used for creation of vPar.

I can not bring down the already created two vPars to take an "ioscan" report in nPar mode.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Re: nPar resources identification being in vPar

Each vPar can see in ioscan only the "owned by itself" resources.

You can run

# vparstatus -A

to see unassigned slots and compare them it you look at the io bays of the server.

Almost no way to tell what card is in an unassigned slot.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: nPar resources identification being in vPar

vparstatus -A

*************
gives output like :

[CPUs (path)]: 0.123
[CLP (CellID Count)]: 0 1
[Available CPUs]: 1

[Available I/O devices (path)]: 0.0.4
0.0.8
0.0.14

[
[Available CLM (CellID Base /Range)]:
(bytes) (MB)
[Available CLM (CellID MB)]: 0 0

**********

And the path for IO devices I want, looks like:

lan 0 0/0/2/1/0
lan 1 0/0/6/1/0
lan 2 0/0/8/1/0/4/0
lan 3 0/0/12/1/0

**********

Any suggestion how does it indicate or frame the exact path. Is there any corelation in the result given by vparstatus -A and the actual path of devices.

Thanks in advance.

Re: nPar resources identification being in vPar

According to the command output your available resources are

1 CPU
0MB Memory (isn't enough)
H/W pathes

0.0.8
0.0.14

That's it.

Now inspect what cards do you have in that slots.

This is slot 1 and slot 4 - left half.

Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Torsten,

May be it's trivial but as I am new to the virtualization and vpar/npar... how do I manage to get hardware address from above output ??

thanks in advance!!

You cannot.
The only way to get adrresses and paths for devices connected to a card is to use ioscan on the nPar.
You will NOT be able to get any information while running your vPars.

Re: nPar resources identification being in vPar

You can create a new vPar with the available slots (LBA level):

# vparcreate ... -a io:0/0/8 -a io:0/0/14 ...

but you need more memory.

Hope this helps!
