When the flexible administrative capability mode is ON, the vPars flexible administrative capability feature restricts the vPars commands such that you can alter another virtual partition only if you execute the command from a partition that is in the designated-admin virtual partition list. When you execute the command from a non-designated-admin virtual partition, if the command alters another virtual partition, it will not be allowed. (A.03.03 only: this is true even if the vPars commands are applied to an alternate database).

The table below shows the results when the flexible administrative capability feature is ON.

The remaining vPars commands, such as vparstatus, are allowed by all virtual partitions regardless of the flexible administrative capability mode because they do not alter other virtual partitions.

NOTE:

When the Target Partition is the Local Partition   If you use a command that alters a virtual partition but you execute it from the partition itself (in other words, the target partition equals the local virtual partition), this is allowed. For example,

winona2# vparmodify -p winona2 -a cpu::1

Because you are not modifying another virtual partition, this will be allowed even if winona2 is not a designated-admin virtual partition.

vparcreate  While flexible administrative capability is on, when you create a virtual partition, the target partition will be a non-designated-admin virtual partition. You cannot vparcreate a virtual partition as a designated-admin virtual partition. After the vparcreate command, to change the non-designated-admin virtual partition to a designated-admin virtual partition, you will need to add the partition to the designated-admin virtual partition list using the vparadmin -a command.

vparstatus  vparstatus does not show whether a virtual partition is in the designated-admin virtual partition list; you need to use vparadmin -l.
