NOTE: Any storage devices that you add are not functional on the vPar until the vPar is
started or restarted. When you add a storage device to a started vPar, it might not appear
on a Storage tab until the vPar is stopped or restarted. If you add the device to a stopped
vPar, the tab displays the device immediately.
• Add DIO to add DIOs to a VM or vPar. For more information, see “Adding DIOs” (page 109).
• Replace DIO H/W path to replace the h/w path of a DIO owned by a guest, VM or vPar. For
more information, see “Replacing DIO H/W path” (page 109).
• Replace DIO MAC address to replace the MAC address of DIOs owned by a guest, VM or
vPar. For more information, see “Replacing DIO MAC address” (page 110).
• WBEM Credentials to set or change WBEM credentials for vPars.
NOTE: This menu is available only when using Virtual Server Manager with HP SMH.
Booting vPars
Booting a vPar starts the hardware for the vPar. The vPar enters an On state (or is powered on).
The Boot and Reset functions are similar except in the following scenario:
The Boot function does not stop and restart a vPar that is already started. It leaves the boot up
machine as it is. Whereas, the Reset function stops and restarts the already running vPar.
HP recommends that you use the Reset function instead of the Boot function when you have several
vPars that you want to start newly, of which some of them are already started and some of them
are currently stopped. The Reset function takes into account all the vPars whether they are already
started or not.
If you want the stopped vPars started, you can use the Start function.
You can select multiple vPars and apply the required action.
To boot one or more vPars:
1. Click the Virtual Servers tab.
The vPars are listed in this tab.
2. Select one or more vPars by selecting the check box against each required vPars.
3. Select Tools→Boot virtual partition... from the vPars menu bar.
The Boot virtual partition screen is displayed.
