Ensuring the Hardware Console Port Is Owned by the First Virtual Partition
(PA-RISC)
In our example server, the hardware console port is at 0/0/4/0, which uses the LBA at 0/0. The LBA 0/0 is
owned by the partition winona1:
When we create the virtual partitions, we will create winona1 and keira1 first.
CAUTION One of the virtual partitions must own the LBA that contains the physical hardware console
port.
Choosing the Boot and Lan Paths
Using the full ioscan output, we chose the following boot disk path and note the LAN card path:
Autoboot
Autoboot allows a virtual partition to be booted automatically on a cold boot of the system. By default,
autoboot is set to AUTO for all virtual partitions.
