Bergen in nPartition Norway:
vparmodify -p Bergen -N Norway -a cpu::2
Add an I/O device to the virtual partition (io and ioslot syntax):
vparmodify -p Bergen -N Norway -a io:5/1/0/0/2

The following examples demonstrate operations that are not supported when the vPar is UP
:
1) Specific and non-specific deletetion on the same command line:
vparmodify -p 1:1 -d cpu:1/1/1/0 -d cpu::1
2) Non-specific and socket specific deletion on the same command line:
vparmodify -p 1:1 -d cpu::1 -d socket:1/1/1:core::1
3) Addition and deletion of cores on the same command line:
vparmodify -p 1:1 -a cpu::4 -d cpu::2
ERRORS
OA syslog contains additional description of errors encountered during partition operations. Users can
view the OA syslog from the OA using "SHOW SYSLOG OA" command.
"Error: System unable to accept partition commands"
The above error message is printed out under the following circumstances:
• Attempting to run command from an OA other than the active OA in enclosure 1
• System has been shut down (e.g. with POWEROFF XFABRIC, or ambient overtemp)
• The OA has not finished initializing.
In the above scenarios, please ensure the system and OA are completely up and you are running the com-
mand from the active OA in enclosure 1.
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.
vpar_id does not exist in the current virtual partition database.
npar_id does not exist.
new_vpname already exists in the current virtual partition database.
One or more options other than
-a, -d, -m 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 vpar_id .
The partition from where the command was invoked did not have sufficient
parperm privileges.
