vparmodify -p Bergen -D /stand/Norway -a cpu::2

Add two processors to the virtual partition Oslo

in the running vPar monitor database:

vparmodify -p Oslo -a cpu::2

Add two cell-local processors from cell 1 to the virtual partition

Oslo:

vparmodify -p Oslo -a cell:1:cpu::2

Delete 1 gigabyte of ﬂoating cell-local memory (CLM) on cell 0 from the virtual partition

Oslo:

vparmodify -p Oslo -d cell:0:mem::1024:f

ERRORS

vparmodify displays error messages on standard error for any of the following conditions:

An invalid option is speciﬁed.

An invalid value is speciﬁed for an option or a value is omitted.

The speciﬁed db_ﬁle does not exist, cannot be accessed, or has been corrupted.

vp_name does not exist in the speciﬁed db_ﬁle or in the monitor database.

new_vp_name already exists in the monitor database or speciﬁed db_ﬁle.

vp_name is static and you have attempted to change a resource.

One or more options other than

-S, -a, -d is speciﬁed more than once.

For the

-a or -m option, an unavailable resource (allocated to another virtual partition or exceeding

the available resource limit) is speciﬁed.

For the

-m or -d option, the speciﬁed resource is not presently assigned to vp_name .

The

vparmodify command and the virtual partition monitor are at different revision levels.

When the virtual partition ﬂexible administrative capability is enabled and the local virtual parti-

tion is not a Designated-Admin vPar.

The state of the modiﬁed vPar following an error depends on the following factors:

• If the error is detected during syntax and semantic checks of the command line, or if CPU addition is

not authorized by iCAP, the vPar is not changed.

• If the error is detected while actually modifying the vPar, and you are modifying an alternate data-

base, the vPar is not changed. This is because changes are not committed until the end of the com-

mand.

• If the error is detected while modifying the vPar, and you are modifying the database currently loaded

into the monitor, then any changes made to the point of the error (working left-to-right on the com-

mand line) will remain. This is because changes to the live database are made incrementally, as they

are requested.
