Table 10 Attributes of a virtual partition in vPars V6.1.5
Default valueCommand optionDescriptionvPar attribute
If you do not specify either a
number or a name, a vPar name
in the format vParXXXX (where
XXXX represents the vPar Id
number), with leading zeros is
automatically assigned to the
newly created vPar.
-p vpar_idYou can specify either a number
or name.
vPar ID (name or
number)
If you do not specify either a
number or name, a vPar name
in the format vParXXXX (where
XXXX represents the vPar Id
number), with leading zeros is
automatically assigned to the
newly created vPar.
-P vpar_name
OR
-p vpar_id
The vPar name can have up to
255 alphanumeric characters,
including A-Z, a-z, 0-9, the dash
(—), the underscore (_), and
period (.). The vPar name must
not start with a dash.
vPar name
If you leave out this option when
you create a vPar, the default is
1 CPU core. If you set any of
num, min, or max to 0, the
default value is assigned. For
vPars V6.1.5, the defaults are,
num=1, min=1, and max=512.
-a cpu::num
-a
cpu::[num]:[min][:[max]]
OR
-a core::num
-a
core::[num]:[min][:[max]]
You can specify the number of
CPUs that a vPar can use. A
running vPar cannot use more
CPUs than the number of
physical CPUs on the VSP
system.
You can set min and max values
too. The minimum and maximum
values are boundary values that
are enforced if the number of
CPUs in this vPar changes in the
future.
CPU
If you leave out this option when
you create a vPar, the default
memory allocated is 2 GB.
-a mem::mem_sizeThe memory is specified in
megabytes. The minimum
amount of memory you allocate
to a vPar must be the total of the
following:
• The amount of memory
required by the operating
environment in the vPar.
• The amount of memory
required by the applications
running on the vPar.
