Partitioning questions

[Lacrosse]

If doing 3 vpar partitions on a 7410 and want to use online JFS and glance do I need to load it into each partition or just once also is it just priced on total amount of processors. Is there any additional software I need to do the vpars or is it all in 11i
Thanks for the help

You'll need to load it for each partition. Remember that each vpar is really a seperate machine and therefor requires it's own boot disk, etc.

Not sure about the pricing. I believe that the base vpar software only allows for 2 partitions and you need to purchase a license if you want 3 partitions.

Hope that helps a bit

no answer but love the name. UT all the way.

you'll need to load it three times.

You'll need to install the OS three times.

I'm not sure about the pricing question though...

There is a specific level your GSP must be at the be able to handle VPARS, but so long as you keep up with GSP and PDC patches, you should be fine.

Hi..
I thought 7410 do not support vpars yet.

Thanks.

I found out they are licensing per total amount off processors on the server i.e. online JFS and vpar software also I guess they pulled the vpar software until Dec due to many bugs???? Go UT
