vparboot causing the whole Npar crash

[BENABBOU]

Hi all
i wanted to decrease the amount of memory in a Vpar.
so i shutdown the Vpar, perform vparmodify whith adequate arguments and i perform a vparboot from an other Vpar on the same Npar but during reboot all Vpars Crashed.

Note that we have an Itanium Npar.

Please help me to understand what happens and perhaps avoid problem in the future

Thaks in advance

Shalom,

Please provide:

vparstatus

vparstatus -A

parstatus

Take a look at the error logs and give us a hint.

What OS is the npar set up in? What version of vpar? What is the patch status of the system.

Hi

I am just guessing that all the vpars in the npar need to be rebooted since the resources of the npar are seen by all the vpars and the others still need to be updated.

However, your proceedure would be nice.
