Referring to the full ioscan we create three vPars:
 Resources assigned to vpar1 are marked in blue.
 Resources assigned to vpar2 are marked in green.
 Resources assigned to vpar3 are marked in orange.
Partition information
The partition plan shows the following:

I/O Path (LBS's)
0/0, 0/4
0/8, 1/1
0/5, 1/4
Boot Path
0/0/2/0.6.0
0/8/0/0.5.0
1/4/0/0.5.0
Console:
The hardware console port is at 0/0/4/0 which uses LBA at 0/0. The LBA is owned by vpar1 so
when we create the virtual partitions, vpar1 will be created first.
To create these Partitions we need vparcreate(1m).
# vparcreate -p vpar1 -a cpu::2
-a mem::1024
-a io:0/0 -a io:0/4 -a io:0/0/2/0.6.0:boot
