Booting vPars
Booting a vPar starts the hardware for the vPar. The vPar enters an On state (or is powered on).
The Boot and Reset functions are similar except in the following scenario:
The Boot function does not stop and restart a vPar that is already started. It leaves the boot up
machine as it is. Whereas, the Reset function stops and restarts the already running vPar.
HP recommends that you use the Reset function instead of the Boot function when you have several
vPars that you want to start newly, of which some of them are already started and some of them
are currently stopped. The Reset function takes into account all the vPars whether they are already
started or not.
If you want the stopped vPars started, you can use the Start function.
