HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator's Guide (includes A.03.05 and A.04.05)

the ln -s command also should be executed to create the soft link. Otherwise, it will
not be possible to boot from the backup database file.
• vparload-all
vparload-autovparload-ppartition_name[-bkernelpath][-oboot_options][-Bhardware_path]
[-D disk_index] [-E disk_index] boots the virtual partition partition_name;
this command is similar to the vPars Unix shell command vparboot.
Boots all virtual partitions, regardless of the autoboot or autosearch attributes.
For more information on the autoboot or autosearch attributes, see the
vparcreate(1M) or vparmodify(1M) manpages.
-all
Boots all virtual partitions that have their autoboot attribute flag set to AUTO.-auto
Boots the virtual partition using the kernel kernelpath instead of the default kernel-bkernelpath
Boots the virtual partition using the options boot_options, such as -is for
single-user mode or -lm for LVM maintenance mode.
-oboot_options
Boots the virtual partition using the disk device at the hardware_path-B hardware_path
(Integrity only) Supported by vPars A.05.02 and later. Launches the install kernel
from the CD or DVD media specifed by disk_index. If the disk_index specified
is “X” the install kernel is launched from the disk “fsX:”. If installable media is not
present at the index specified, the virtual partition will be shut down and the user
must select a different disk_index.
-D disk_index
(Integrity only) Launches the vPars boot helper EFI application from the disk specified
by the disk_index. The EFI boot helper prints the EFI paths of all the bootable disks
belonging to the target virtual partition and prompts the user to select a disk to boot
from.
Under vPars A.05.02 and later, if the disk selected is a CD or DVD device, then the
install kernel from the media is launched instead of the regular kernel and any boot
options specified on the command line are ignored.
-E disk_index
Examples:
— To boot the partition winona2 into single-user mode:
MON> vparload -p winona2 -o "-is"
— To boot the partition winona2 using the kernel /stand/vmunix.prev:
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:
— -bkernelpath 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 150).
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
