Workaround
You can either:
◦ Update the server firmware to the latest version. See the HP-UX Virtual Partitions Ordering
and Configuration Guide for firmware version details.
◦ If the virtual partition remains in the load state (you can use vparstatus to verify the
state), perform the following:
1. Issue a hard reset using vparreset to reset the virtual partition.
For example, if winona2 remains in the load state, to issue a hard reset:
winona1# vparreset -p winona2 -h
2. When the target partition is in the down state, attempt booting the partition using
vparboot. For example:
winona1# vparboot -p winona2
The virtual partition should recover and boot properly.

Description
In a vPars environment, system activity events are decoded and reported on all virtual partitions.
When examining any single virtual partition, this can be misleading, such that it may appear
the events occurred on the virtual partition that reported the problem.
