Installing and Managing HP-UX Virtual Partitions (A.02.01)

Monitor and Shell Commands
Using Monitor Commands
Chapter 5104
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.other:
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 tochange 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.
For example, to change the partition database information so
that winona2 always boots using /stand/vmunix.other:
# vparmodify -p winona2 -b /stand/vmunix.other
See the vparmodify (1M) manpage for more information on
modifying the partition database.
Also, when a virtual partition is booted, there may be a pause in
the console output. For more information, see “Booting a Virtual
Partition” on page 112.
Finally, when there is a pending reboot for reconfiguration forthe
involved nPartition, the target virtual partitions will not be
booted until all the virtual partitions within the nPartition have
been shut down and the vPars monitor rebooted. For more
information see “Shutting Down or Rebooting the Hard Partition
(rebooting the vPars monitor)” on page 120.
• bootpath
displays the device from which the vPars monitor (/stand/vpmon)
was booted
Example:
MON>bootpath
disk(0/0/2/0.6.0)
