• New Titles for HP-UX Systems Administration Documents
Coincidental with the HP-UX 11.31 Release, some titles of HP-UX administration
documents have changed. All of these documents can be obtained from http://docs.hp.com.
• Memory Resources:
With vPars A.05.01, you can now dynamically migrate memory; in other words, you can
now add and delete memory while the virtual partition is UP (online).
In addition to memory being either CLM or ILM, memory is now also either:
— float
when the virtual partition is UP, float memory can be added or deleted.
To specify the memory as float, you must append :float or :f to the assignment
specifications. Therefore, if you wish to add and delete memory online, you must
specify :float or :f on the command line when you assign memory.
— base
when the virtual partition is UP, base memory can only be added. base is the default.
NOTE Memory acquires the base or float attribute only when it is assigned to a
virtual partition. The available memory ranges within the monitor that are
not bound to any virtual partition do not have any base or float attribute.
