134 Partition commands
Meaning
Specify the OS to be used in the nPartition. This is used
to determine the default values for certain firmware and
memory settings. The valid strings for OS names are:
◦
HPUX_1 1iV3 (default)
Specifies whether Hyper-Threading should be enabled
or not. The valid values for flag are:
◦
y — Enables Hyper-Threading, which allows multiple
threads to run concurrently on each CPU.
◦
n — Disables Hyper-Threading, this is the default
value.
Changes the Intended Active value of the resource type
for the nPartition. The valid value for res_type is
case-insensitive core. The ia_value has to be a
positive number which will be passed to the iCAP
software as a hint requested by the user as the Intended
Active value for activation in the nPartition.
Specifies the memory granularity (ILM or SLM) for the
nPartition
The partition specification to switch to at the next boot.
This option can be specified for a nPartition and will
result in the configuration (assigned resources and other
attributes) of the nPartition being changed to match what
is specified in this parspec when the nPartition is
activated after a reset.
IMPORTANT: No other option except –p is allowed
when –A is specified.
The max value for blades or vPars in an nPar. The nPar
will not be allowed to have more than the max_value
for the type specified.
Specifies whether the hard partition has to be booted
as a single nPar or as one or more vPars as defined in
the vpdb in the parspec. The valid values for mode are
case-insensitive vPars and nPars. By default, a hard
partition is booted as a single nPar.
Sets the parspec change policy. The change policy has
values of enable and disable. By default, the policy
is enable. If the policy is set to enable, partition
management software modifies parspecs to reflect the
resource assignment changes done to the partition at
boot time. If policy is set to disable, partition
management software fails the boot if any of the
requested resources specified in the parspec is not
available for assignment to the partition at boot time.
Enable/Disable VGA in an nPartition. The flag value
can be either enable or disable. By default, VGA
is enabled in an nPartition. VGA is always disabled
when running vPars in an nPar.
Create a copy of an existing parspec. The source
parspec can be specified using the –z or –p options.
If the –p option is specified, the current parspec of the
nPartition specified by –p is selected as the source. The
copy is given the name specified by
copy_parspec_name and is marked as an alternate
parspec.
