Rebooting and Reconfiguring Conceptual Points
• If there is a pending reboot for reconfiguration (RFR) for the involved nPartition, no virtual
partitions will be rebooted until all the virtual partitions within the given nPartition are shut down and
the involved vPars Monitor is rebooted. This implies that the target virtual partition of the vparload,
vparboot, and vparreset commands will not boot until all virtual partitions within the nPartition have
been shut down and the vPars Monitor is rebooted.
• For more information on using the -R and -r options of the shutdown and reboot commands used in a
RFR, see “shutdown and reboot commands” on page 26.
• For more information, see “Shutting Down or Rebooting the nPartition (OR Rebooting the vPars Monitor)”
on page 162 and the vPars Monitor command “reboot [mode]” on page 133.
• If you make an nPartition change where a Reboot for Reconfiguration is required, all the virtual
partitions within the nPartition need to be shutdown and the Monitor rebooted in order for the
reconfiguration to take effect.
