| After having run the ioscan in then Partition on our Superdome, we have determined that the following configurations will exist in our four vPars: vPar bvvpard1 name bvvpard1 processors min of one (bound) max of three (two unbound) memory 2048 MB LBA Core I/O 5/0/0 (all components on 0/0 are implied) LAN 5/0/9 boot disk 5/0/12/0/0.0.0 kernel /stand/vmunix (this is default) autoboot off (manual) console on core I/O at 5/0/0 vPar bvvpard2 name bvvpard2 processors min of one (bound) max of four (two unbound) memory 2048 MB LAN 5/0/14 boot disk 5/0/6/0/0.0.0 kernel /stand/vmunix (this is default) autoboot off (manual) console virtual vPar extappd2 name extappd2 processors min of one (bound) max of four (two unbound) memory 2048 MB LAN 5/0/3 boot disk 5/0/4/0/0.0.0 kernel /stand/vmunix (this is default) autoboot off (manual) console virtual vPar intappd2 name intappd2 processors min of one (bound) max of four (two unbound) memory 2048 MB LAN 5/0/2 boot disk 5/0/1/0/0.0.0 kernel /stand/vmunix (this is default) autoboot off (manual) console virtual We have all the software we need on our vPars disks, including HP-UX, vPars software, patches, and so on.  | Now that we have the full ioscan of all the components in the nPartition and have mapped out the components we'd like to have in our four vPars, we can issue the vparcreate commands to create the four vPars. |
vparcreate -p bvvpard1 -B manual -b /stand/vmunix -a cpu:::1:3 -a mem::2048 -a io:5/0/9 -a io:5/0/12 -a io:5/0/12/0/0.0.0:boot -a io:5/0/0 -a io:5/0/11 vparcreate -p bvvpard2 -B manual -b /stand/vmunix -a cpu:::1:4 -a mem::2048 -a io:5/0/6 -a io:5/0/14 -a io:5/0/6/0/0.0.0:boot vparcreate -p extappd2 -B manual -b /stand/vmunix -a cpu:::1:4 -a mem::2048 -a io:5/0/4 -a io:5/0/3 -a io:5/0/4/0/0.0.0:boot vparcreate -p intappd2 -B manual -b /stand/vmunix -a cpu:::1:4 -a mem::2048 -a io:5/0/1 -a io:5/0/2 -a io:5/0/1/0/0.0.0:boot These commands use the same form covered in chapters earlier in the book. Chapter 2 covered several examples of using vparcreate its options. Notice that vPar bvvpard1 has in it the core I/O card at 5/0/0, which give it console access, and the tape and DVD-ROM interface at 5/0/11, because this vPar will be used as an Ignite-UX server  | After having created and booted all four vPars, we can check the status of each and view their respective components with vparstatus -v as shown in the following listing: |

The output of this vparstatus command is identical to that we viewed in the earlier L-Class and N-Class examples in the book except that the paths employed are those from a Superdome. |
