vpar question

[navin]

Hi,
I would like to know if seperate ip is required for the vpar.I have created a vpar called test1 using vpcreate.But i want to know ..if i need to allocate lan for vpar and seperate ip,so that i can telnet to the vpar.
Thanks

Shalom,

If you are to telnet to a vpar, it must have an ip address.

A virtual partition is not terribly useful without an ip address, though I suppose it can do a great deal of meaningless calculations.

Technically a vpar requires one network device, a NIC card, and some kind of disk to boot from, besides minimum cpu and memory requirments that the OS needs to run.

Steve,
Thank you.I did not see any option in vpcreate command to do this and also in vparmgr.If you could please suggest a way that i can configure network for my vpar that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Navin ,
You can use vparmodify to add the lan path,

You can check this link:

Cheers,
Raj.

hello navin:
when you load the OS on the vpar you can give it an ip address at that time

Hi,

first you should read the manuals to understand the concept how to add resources to a vPar.

Before you create any vPar, you should run and record:
lanscan
ioscan -fndlba

Find the path given by lanscan in the second output and add this hw-path to your vPar configuration.
