• vparload -all
vparload -auto
vparload -p partition_name [-b kernelpath ] [-o boot_options ] [-B hardware_path ]
[-D disk_index ] [-E disk_index ]
boots the virtual partition partition_name ; this command is similar to the vPars Unix shell command
vparboot.
Examples:
To boot the partition winona2 into single-user mode:
MON> vparload -p winona2 -o "-is"
To boot the partition winona2 using the kernel /stand/vmunix.prev:
MON> vparload -p winona2 -b /stand/vmunix.prev
To boot the partition winona2 using the disk device at 0/8/0/0.2.0:
MON> vparload -p winona2 -B 0.8.0.0.2.0
Note:
-b kernelpath allows you to change the target kernel for only the next boot of partition_name . If
you wish to make a permanent change to the partition database, use the vparmodify command.
-all Boots all virtual partitions, regardless of the autoboot or autosearch
attributes. For more information on the autoboot or autosearch attributes,
see the vparcreate (1M) or vparmodify (1M) manpages.
-auto Boots all virtual partitions that have their autoboot attribute flag set to
AUTO.
-b kernelpath Boots the virtual partition using the kernel kernelpath instead of the
default kernel
-o boot_options Boots the virtual partition using the options boot_options , such as -is for
single-user mode or -lm for LVM maintenance mode.
-B hardware_path Boots the virtual partition using the disk device at the hardware_path
-D disk_index (Integrity only) Supported by vPars A.05.02 and later. Launches the install
kernel from the CD or DVD media specifed by disk_index . If the
disk_index specified is “ X ” the install kernel is launched from the disk
“fs X :”. If installable media is not present at the index specified, the virtual
partition will be shut down and the user must select a different disk_index .
-E disk_index (Integrity only) Launches the vPars boot helper EFI application from the
disk specified by the disk_index . The EFI boot helper prints the EFI paths
of all the bootable disks belonging to the target virtual partition and prompts
the user to select a disk to boot from.
Under vPars A.05.02 and later, if the disk selected is a CD or DVD device,
then the install kernel from the media is launched instead of the regular
kernel and any boot options specified on the command line are ignored.
