Console EV Value

lp_io_maskN

IOP module assignment mask for

partition N

lp_mem_mode

Memory isolation mode

The following table shows a sample conﬁguration of two partitions based on

the conﬁguration information in Section E.4.3.3., with these modules:

•4CPU modules (in slots 0 through 3)

•2MEM modules (in slots 4 and 6)

•2IOP modules (in slots 7 and 8)

Partition Module(s)

Partition 0

CPU modules in slots 0 and 1 (CPU 0-3, mask = 00F

IOP module in slot 8 (IO Port, mask = 100)

MEM module in slot 6 (2GB memory)

Partition 1

CPU modules in slots 2 and 3 (CPU 4-7, mask = 0F0

IOP module in slot 7 (IO Port, mask = 080)

MEM module in slot 4 (1GB memory)

There is no console EV mask for memory. The console ﬁrmware assigns

memory modules to partitions. The ﬁrmware will attempt to balance the

amount of memory assigned to each partition.

To create or change the EVs, execute the following commands at the

console prompt. The values used are for the two partition example

described at the start of this section. The actual values you enter depend

on your hardware conﬁguration and your partition layout.

Note that the lp_count EV is created with a value of zero (it

will be changed later).

The following command will display the console EVs if they have been

created or will display no output if they do not exist.

P00>>>show lp*

If the console EVs do not exist (were not previously created) use the

following commands to create the EVs.
