PA-8800 and vPARs

I'm considering upgrading our rp8400 with PA-8800s. The server is configured with two vPARs (prod and dev). We switch CPUs between the two vPARs all the time. Will upgrading to the PA-8800s prevent us from switching 1 CPU at a time between the vPARs or do we have to switch in pairs?

Re: PA-8800 and vPARs

Hi Eric,

I don't see *how* you could move just one of the cores on that 8800 & leave the other. I'm sure they share *some* resource that could not be split. I'd say you'll have no choice but to switch in "pairs".

My 2 cents,
Jeff

Re: PA-8800 and vPARs

The discussion is somewhat theoretical. Current vPAR releases don't support that hardware and details about the upcoming 3.x releases are not yet disclosed, at least as far as I know.

Best regards...
