Vpar modifications

[Generic User OI IIS]

Hi Admins,
We have a rp8400 running 2 vpars, with a total of 16 Gb memory and 12 cpu's.
vp1 has 8 Gb memory and cpu's 7/10 (min/Max)
vp2 has 8 Gb memory and cpu's 2/5
The new situation would have to be the following:
vp1 10 Gb memory and cpu's 8/10
vp2 6 Gb memory and cpu's 2/4

I thinks the steps should be:
- shutdown vp2
- run vparmodify from vp1:
# vparmodify -p vp2 -m mem::6016
# vparmodify -p vp2 -m cpu:::2:4
- boot vp2 from vp1:
# vparboot -p vp2

When vp2 is up and running again, I want to do the same trick for vp1. Here's the question:
Is this the right way, or should I follow another cookbook?

Best regards,
Addie Wevers.

No, you appear to have got the procedure correct, although you may wish to add a vparstatus before the boot to verify what you are trying to acheive is correct.

You could also use the vparmanager gui vparmgr to help here.

Take a look at this manual, starting at page 165.

Hi Friend,

I dont think that you can re-allocate physical memory online. You will need to shutdown the respective vpar before making any changes in physical memory size. But you can re-allocate processors online. I too make the vpar down before re-allocating memory from it.

See the vpar document attached.
