Vpar cookbook?

[Joan Blais]

Is there a Vpar cookbook available out there? I'd like to rebuild an rp7410 8x16 with 2 vpars.

Not necessarily a cookbook, but a good source:

I also relied heavily on Marty Poniatowski's "hp-ux virtual partitions". Excerpts from that book are available here:

The book is available here:

Hi Joan,

Attached the vpar configuration guide. The example taken in this guide is rp7400.

After deciding the hardware paths of IO cards , boot disks etc you can create vpar as follows.

vparcreate -p testsvr -a cpu:::1:27 -a mem::14336 -a io:8.0.0 -a io:8.0.1 -a io:8.0.2 -a io:10.0.1 -a io:10.0.2 -a io:8.0.1.1.0.0.0:boot -B auto

vparcreate -p testappl1 -a cpu:::1:14 -a mem::12288 -a io:4.0.1 -a io:4.0.2 -a io:4.0.3 -a io:4.0.4 -a io:4.0.1.1.0.0.0:boot -B auto

vparcreate -p testappl2 -a cpu:::1:14 -a mem::12288 -a io:4.0.6 -a io:4.0.11 -a io:4.0.12 -a io:4.0.14 -a io:4.0.6.1.0.8.0:boot -B auto

vparboot -p testappl1 -B 4.0.1.1.0.0.0 -b /stand/vmunix
