vparmodify2(1M)
For OA Based Partition Management Systems
vparmodify2(1M)
A summary of resource syntax forms is shown in Table 1. Multiple resource
specifications in the same command are allowed, but some syntax forms are restricted to
specific options, and some are allowed only once. Both are indicated in Table 1. In any
case, resources in multiple specifications must not repeat or conflict with each other.
-N npar_id Specifies the nPartition to which the virtual partition belongs. npar_id can be specified
either as a number or a name. This option is mandatory for the command invoked from
OA.
-P new_vpname
Specifies a new name for the virtual partition being modified, that is, after all
modifications are successfully applied to vpar_id, it is renamed to new_vpname, assum-
ing no virtual partition with that name already exists in the current virtual partition
database.
A virtual partition name should at least have one of the following non-numeric character
a-z, A-Z
, dash (-), underscore (_), or period (.). No other non-numeric character is
allowed in a virtual partition name. The maximum length of a virtual partition name is
255 characters including the null character.
The virtual partition name may be changed while the virtual partition is running.
Table 1. Resource syntax summary
Resource Forms Options # times/command
CPU cpu:cpu_path -a, -d Multiple
cpu::num -a, -m, -d Once
cpu:::min{:{max}} -m Once
socket:socket_id:cpu:: num -a, -d, -m Once per socket_id
-- or --
core:core_path -a, -d Multiple
core::num -a, -d, -m Once
core:::min{:{max}} -m Once
socket:socket_id:core:: num -a, -d, -m Once per socket_id
I/O io:io_path -a, -d, -m Multiple
ioslot:ioslot_path -a, -d, -m Once
Memory mem::ilm_size -a, -d, -m Once
socket:socket_id:mem::size -a, -d, -m Once per socket_id
Notes:
• The keywords "core" and "cpu" can be used interchangeably in the command line.
• Addition and deletion of cores is not supported on the same command line when the vPar is UP.
• Specific (by specifying the Hardware path) and non-specific (by specifying the count) deletion of cores
cannot be done on the same command line when the vPar is UP.
• Non-specific and socket specific (by specifying socket id and count of cores from that socket) deletion of
cores cannot be done on the same command line when the vPar is UP.
• The first field is always one of the (case-insensitive) strings:
cpu, core,
io, ioslot, mem,or
socket.
• num, min, and max are all positive integers.
• cpu_path or core_path is specified as enclosure#
blade#/cpusocket#/cpucore#
For example:
Short form: 3/6/0/2
Medium form: cpucore-3/6/0/2
Long form: enclosure3/blade6/cpusocket0/cpucore2
• socket_id is specified as enclosure#
/blade# /cpusocket#
For example:
Short form: 3/6/0
Medium form: socket-3/6/0
Long form: enclosure3/blade6/cpusocket0
