Managing: Modifying Attributes Of A Virtual Partition - HP Integrity Superdome 2 16-socket Administrator's Manual

Booting from the CLI
To set the vPars environment, you must set the nPartition into vPars mode so that the next nPartition
boot allows you to boot into vPars mode. To set the nPartition mode:
1. Set the nPartition in vPar mode.
# parmodify
2. Do one of the following:
a. poweron partition {nPartition identifier}[:{vPar identifier}] (Not
specifying a vPar will result in all of the vPars in the nPartition to be booted.)
b. Use the pe command to prompt you for the partition to activate:

Managing: Modifying Attributes of a Virtual Partition

You can modify the name of a virtual partition and its resource attributes using the vparmodify
command when the virtual partition is in the Down state. For more information about resource
attributes, see the vparmodify2 manpage on the OS or the vparmodify help on the OA.
Examples
To rename the virtual partition vPar0001 to Bergen:
vparmodify -N nPar0001 -p 1 -P Bergen
To add two processors to the virtual partition Oslo (cpu and core syntax):
vparmodify -N nPar0001 -p vPar0001 -a cpu::2
or
vparmodify -N nPar0001 -p vPar0001 -a core::2
To add two socket-local processors from enclosure 1, blade 2, socket 0 to the virtual partition
vPar0001 ((cpu and core syntax):
vparmodify -N nPar0001 -p vPar0001 -a socket:1/2/0:cpu::2
or
vparmodify -N nPar0001 -p vPar0001 -a socket:3/6/0:core::2
