VPAR question

[Alex Lavrov.]

Hello,

I heard that there is a way to remove ALL the resources from the vpar, without removing the vpar itself. I mena I want the vpar there, just the definition of it, but I don't want any resources in it. I read the man, but didn't find this option.

You can have a vpar that is not running and all of it's resources allocated to another vpar.

I'm a little confused about what you mean by "just the definition". If you mean a vpar boot partition that is not running and without any acknowledgement in the vpar db, then again yes you can have this.

BUT I caution you. If you use the same disks that the vpar was using for anything else, then the vpar will become useless.

To remove the vpar resources you must do this:

(1) login to the vpar that you want to "remove"
(2) do a print_manifest:
print_manifest | uuencode print_manifest.txt | mailx -m -s "print manifest" YOURUSERNAME@YOURDOMAIN
(3) shutdown the vpar
(4) do a "vparstatus -v" and save it for later use
(5) from another vpar, remove the resources by removing the vpar

Yea, thanx. I already found out that it's impossible. According to PDF, in order to exist VPAR must have cpu, memory, disk and lan.
