  • Only one vPars Monitor is booted per nPartition.

  • Virtual partitions exist within an nPartition, but they cannot span across nPartitions.

  • Each virtual partition within a given nPartition can be assigned a subset of only the hardware assigned to the nPartition. Furthermore, only the active hardware assigned to the nPartition can be used by the virtual partitions within the nPartition.

  • nPartitions remain isolated from other nPartitions, regardless of whether vPars is installed. You can have virtual partitions installed within an nPartition without affecting the other nPartitions.

  • Note: unlike the rp7400/N4000, on a Superdome and other nPartition servers, the first element of the hardware path of the ioscan output is the cell number.

    For example, on the rp7400/N4000 the ioscan output shows:

    0/0 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)

    However, on a Superdome, the first element of the hardware path is the cell number. So, if the cell number is 4, the ioscan output shows:

    4/0/0 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)
