Resetting a Hung Virtual Partition
Chapter 5 133
To simulate a soft reset on only one virtual partition, from a running
partition, use vparreset with the -t (for TOC) option. For example, if
winona2 is hung, we can execute vparreset from the running partition
winona1:
winona1# vparreset -p winona2 -t
The target virtual partition either shuts down or reboots according to the
setting of the autoboot attribute of that virtual partition.
Other virtual partitions are unaffected when one virtual partition is
reset.
NOTE Unlike the RS and TC commands, the vparreset command also displays
Processor Information Module (PIM) data unless the -q option is
specified.
On Superdome, when there is a pending reboot for reconfiguration, the
target virtual partition will not be rebooted until all the virtual
partitions within the nPartition are shut down and the virtual partition
monitor is rebooted.
