Table III. Detailed Resource Specifications
Task: -a cpu:
path
Explanation Assigns a CPU resource at a specific path (bound
CPU) to the vPar’s configuration. The CPU
replaces a monitor-assigned bound CPU. Bound
CPUs are able to process interrupts.
Value A text string of the form returned by the
ioscan(1M) command, such as "10/12/6"
Usage The vPar must not be running. This restriction
Restrictions may be removed in a future release.
The total number of CPUs at a specific path
must be <= min
In addition, if the vPar is in the monitor
database:
o A CPU must exist at path,
o It must be available (not assigned to
a vPar, including the target vPar).
Usage The addition does not increase either the number
Guidelines of total CPUs or bound CPUs allocated to
the vPar. Instead, it replaces a previously
bound CPU whose path had been selected by
the monitor. To increase total CPU allocation,
specify an appropriate new num.To
increase the number of bound CPUs, specify a
new min.
Hewlett-Packard recommends that users configure
specific CPUs only when required for performance
reasons. In other situations, specify only the
total number of CPUs (num) and how many of these
should be bound (min), and allow the monitor
to manage the actual CPUs allocated.
