vparcreate
vparcreate is used to create a new virtual partition. Let's have a look at a short example to see
how to use vparcreate. To create a virtual partition named vpar1 with the following resources:
Three total CPUs (two bound CPUs at hardware paths 41 and 45 and one unbound CPU) with a
maximum of four (bound plus unbound) CPUs, 1280 MB of memory, all hardware where the
path begins with 0/8 or 1/10, a boot disk at 0/8/0/0.5.0
Use the corresponding vparcreate command line options:
resource or attribute
vparcreate option
virtual partition name is vpar1
-p vpar1
three total CPUs
-a cpu::3
of which two are bound CPUs and a
maximum of four CPUs
-a cpu:::2:4
at hardware paths 41 and 45
-a cpu:41 -a cpu:45
1280 MB of memory
-a mem::1280
all hardware where the path begins with 0/8
-a io:0/8
all hardware where the path begins with 1/10
-a io:1/10
hardware at 0/8/0/0.5.0 as the boot disk
-a io:0/8/0/0.5.0:boot
The resulting vparcreate command line is:
vptest# vparcreate -p vpar1
-a cpu::3 -a cpu:::2:4 -a cpu:41 -a cpu:45
–a mem::1280
–a io:0/8 -a io:1/10 -a io:0/8/0/0.5.0:boot
