VPARCREATE
•
Command:
vparcreate [-p vparidentstr] [-a rsrc]... [-Z parspecname] [-N nparidentstr] [-P vp_name]
•
Description:
Creates a new virtual partition using the specified hardware resources. If a virtual partition
number is not specified, the command finds an available virtual partition number and assigns
it to the new virtual partition. Likewise, if a virtual partition name is not specified, a default
name of the format vParNNNN is given to the new virtual partition.
The options for the command:
Meaning
Option
Specifies the virtual partition to be created in ASCII
format either as a name or number. The
vparidentstr
-p vparidentstr
can also be specified in the format
nparidentstr:vparidentstr
. When specified in
the format of
nparidentstr:vparidentstr
,
nparidentstr and vparidentstr can either be a name or
number. When specified from the OA, the vPar should
be identified using the format
nparidentstr:vparidentstr
or used along with
the
–N
option. A partition name should at least have
one of the following non-numeric characters:
◦
a-z
◦
A-Z
◦
- (dash)
◦
_ (underscore)
◦
. (period)
If a
-p <number>
option is not specified, a vPar
number is automatically assigned to the created virtual
partition. If both and
–p <name>
and
–P
are not
specified, a vPar name in the format <vPar.vPar_num>
is automatically assigned to the created virtual partition.
NOTE:
The name for the vPar should be specified
either using
–p <name>
or
–P
. Attempts to specify the
vPar name using both options in the same command
line will be considered invalid.
Specifies resources to be added to the virtual partition.
-a rsrc
Specifies the parspec of the nPar in which the vPar will
be created. When this option is specified all other
-Z parspecname
command options are applied to the specified parspec
and not to the nPartition itself. The
–n
and
–z
options
are mutually exclusive.
NOTE:
When the command is invoked from the OA
with
–z
option, there is no need of a
–n
option, since
the operation is being applied to a vPar in the parspec
and not to an existing nPar.
Specifies the nPar to which the vPar belongs to in ASCII
format either as a name or number. This option is
-N nparidentstr
mandatory for a command invoked from OA which that
not specify
–z
. For commands invoked from the
partition, behavior is to create the vPar in that nPar, if
