5. Once the system boots into nPars mode, the OS kernel automatically will write the correct

CPU mapping data to EFI. Now you can reboot the nPartition back into vPars mode and

reboot the Monitor.

keira# vparenv -m vPars

keira# shutdown -r

...

fs0:\EFI\HPUX> boot vpmon

Reconfiguring an nPartition (PA-RISC)

For the following example, the virtual partitions keira1 and keira2 exist within the nPartition

0. Only relevant output is shown.

1. Perform the changes as you would in a non-vPars environment. For example, if we want to

add cell 6 to partition 0:

keira1# parmodify -p0 -a 6:base:y:ri

In order to activate any cell that has been newly added,reboot the partition with the -R option.

Command succeeded.

2. Perform a Reboot for Reconfiguration from a virtual partition. For example,

keira1# vparstatus

keira1# shutdown -R

Transition to run-level0 is complete.

Executing "/sbin/reboot-R".

Note: If this is a partitionable system, the requested reconfiguration will not

take place until all the virtual partitions on this hard partition are shut down

and the virtual partition Monitor is rebooted.

Shutdown at 16:09 (in 0 minutes)

At this point, the nPartition is in the Boot-Is-Blocked (BIB) state. The virtual partition keira1

remains down until all the virtual partitions have been shutdown and the Monitor rebooted.

Note also that once the nPartition is in the BIB state, vparstatus shows the following

message:

Note: A profile change is pending. The hard partition must be rebooted to complete it.

3. Shutdown the other virtual partitions. For example:

keira2# vparstatus

keira2# shutdown -R

.Transition to run-level0 is complete.

Executing "/sbin/reboot-R ".

Note: If this is a partitionable system, the requested reconfiguration will not

take place until all the virtual partitions on this hard partition are shut down

and the virtual partition Monitor is rebooted.

Shutdown at 16:19 (in 0 minutes)

At this point, all virtual partitions have been shut down. The Monitor will reboot

automatically. On the console, we would see the following message:

All partitions have halted. System will now reboot for reconfiguration.

and the beginning of the boot process for the nPartition:
