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

On PA-RISC, the lan card of the source partition is used.
• Boot String
On Integrity platforms, the boot string used at the hpux.efi prompt (hpux>) is “boot vpmon”.
See “Boot Sequence” (page 30).
See “vPars Monitor: Booting the vPars Monitor” (page 132).
See “Autoboot” (page 160).
On PA-RISC, the boot string at the hpux prompt (HPUX>) is “hpux /stand/vpmon”.
Commands
• vPars Commands
These commands are effective only on Integrity:
◦ vparefiutil
◦ vparenv
◦ vparconfig
These commands are effective only on PA-RISC:
◦ vparreloc
◦ vparutil
• nPar Commands
On PA-RISC systems, when you run the parstatus -p <partition number> -V
command, the command displays the same primary boot path on all the vPars belonging to
an nPar. However, on Integrity systems, for each vPar, the command displays the primary
boot path corresponding to that vPar (the primary boot path is stored as the private EFI variable
corresponding to that vPar).
