To assign processors or cores on line to another partition

[Christian_101]

greetings help me to assign processors to me to another partition in line to another one since I have SuperDome of 8 Processors each cell and desire to assign 4 to my other partition of 8 so that altogether they are 12 cores

help ...

Shalom,

I don't actually do this on a day to day basis, but I feel some review of the documentation is called for:

http://docs.hp.com/en/8767/cpu_config.pdf

http://docs.hp.com/en/5185-4322/5185-4322.pdf

http://docs.hp.com/en/B9073-90081/apas09.html

I think the third document is best.

I'd type out the steps for a manual but the folks that wrote the above links actually type better than I do.

Hi Christian, do:

vparstatus

Check bound and unbound CPUs, you can move unbound CPUs online between Vpars using this:

(delete resources from partition)
vparmodify -p -d CPU::1

(adds resources to partition)
vparmodify -p -a CPU::1

Hope this helps, best regards.

Christian,

I trust your SuperDome is partitioned using Virtual Partitions? You will know by doing a "ps -ef|grep vpard" on your partitions. Additionally you could do a "vparstatus" - the output of which would be obvious.

And to move CPU's around:

First you check if there are available CPU resources:

vparstatus -A

If you do not have available CPUs, then you need to free up CPUs:

vparmodify -p vpar1 -m cpu::4

(if vPar1 had 8 CPUs, it will be brought down to 4)

Then You can now add the 4 to your vPar2:

vparmodify -p vpar2 -m cpu::12


Hope this helps....



SEP, better really start *actually* having vPAR and IVM hands on man... ;^)
