Installing and Managing HP-UX Virtual Partitions (A.02.01)

Problem with Adding Unbound CPUs to a Virtual Partition
Cause
Appendix B164
Note that the entries for the unbound CPUs are only entries for unbound
CPUs that can potentially be added to the partition. At this point, we
have not assigned any unbound CPUs to any of the partitions:
Looking at vpar3, because kernel entries for CPUs at x06, x07, and x08
exist, any of the unbound CPUs (x06, x07,orx08) can be added to vpar3.
They could also be added to vpar1 or vpar2.
Create A Fourth Virtual Partition
Supposed we create and boot a fourth partition using the following
command:
# vparcreate -p vpar4 -a cpu::3 -a cpu:::3
The monitor will assign the remaining three CPUs at hardware paths
x06, x07, and x08:
Remove a Virtual Partition
If we shutdown and remove vpar2 (using vparremove), its bound CPUs
will become unbound, and the current configuration will be the following:
Virtual Partition vpar1 vpar2 vpar3
