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.
For more information, see the vparmodify (1M) manpage.
NOTE When using vparboot -I to install vPars, you need to leave the autoboot attribute set to AUTO
during the installation due to the reboots that occur during the installation. After installation
is complete, you can set the autoboot attribute to MANUAL using the vparmodify command. For
example, after installation is complete, to set the autoboot attribute to MANUAL for the partition
winona3:
# vparmodify -p winona3 -B manual
