HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.08) (5900-1312, March 2011)

MON> vparload -p winona2 -b /stand/vmunix.prev
◦ To boot the partition winona2 using the disk device at 0/8/0/0.2.0:
MON> vparload -p winona2 -B 0.8.0.0.2.0
Note:
◦ -b kernelpath allows you to change the target kernel for only the next boot of
partition_name. If you wish to make a permanent change to the partition database,
use the vparmodify command.
For example, to change the partition database information so that winona2 always boots
using /stand/vmunix.other:
# vparmodify -p winona2 -b /stand/vmunix.other
See the vparmodify(1M) manpage for more information on modifying the partition
database.
(vPars A.04.01) For 11i v2 (11.23) systems, alternate kernels are in the directory /stand/
alternate_config/.
Also, when a virtual partition is booted, there may be a pause in the console output. For
more information, see “Booting a Virtual Partition” (page 153).
Finally, when there is a pending Reboot for Reconfiguration for the involved nPartition,
the target virtual partitions will not be booted until all the virtual partitions within the
nPartition have been shut down and the vPars Monitor rebooted. For more information
see “Shutting Down or Rebooting the nPartition (Or Rebooting the vPars Monitor)”
(page 154).
• bootpath
displays the device from which the vPars Monitor (/stand/vpmon) was booted
Example:
MON>bootpath
disk(0.0.2.0.6.0)
• mon_bootpath
a monitor shell command that allows you to put the monitor bootpath at the beginning of the
EFI Boot Manager menu. The option -p is available for this purpose. On the next boot, this
allows an unattended boot from the changed bootpath. The option –p allows you to set the
path that you want the monitor to boot from on the first entry at the EFI Boot Manager Menu.
The option -h allows you to set the High Availability alternate boot path for vPars monitor.
The option -a allows you to set the alternate boot path for vPars monitor. You can use the -d
option to see the default bootpath from which the monitor has booted.
Example:
MON>mon_bootpath -p <hw path of the disk>
NOTE: For details about the mon_bootpath command, see the vpmon(5) manpage.
• reboot [mode]
reboots the entire hard partition. Other hard partitions are not affected.
mode sets the mode for the next reboot and has the value of either nPars or vPars. This is
applicable on only Integrity systems.
