HP Integrity Virtual Server Manager 6.2 User Guide

reboots a vPar that is already booted, while the Boot function does not (it leaves the booted vPar
as it is).
You can use the Reset function instead of the Boot function when you have several vPars that you
want newly booted, some of which are already booted and some currently stopped. The Reset
function resets all the vPars. However, if you do not want the already booted partitions rebooted,
in other words, you just want the stopped partitions booted, use the Boot function instead.
To reset 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 vPar.
3. Select Tools→Reset Virtual Partition from the vPars menu bar.
The Reset Virtual Partition screen is displayed.
Figure 78 Reset vPars
The General Preview area shows the vPars that are going to be reset. The Real Command
area displays the commands that the vPar Manager will execute to reset the selected vPars.
4. Select the How to reset option to set the reset method. The following reset options are available:
• TOC reset: The Transfer of Control (TOC) reset using the -t option does a soft reset of
the selected vPar. The -t option is the default operation of the vparreset command.
For a proper shutdown of the vPar, use the -h option.
• Hard reset: The hard reset or the -h option performs a hard reset of the selected vPar.
The -h option is equivalent to the RS command in the management processor.
5. Click OK to reset the selected vPars.
