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

Monitor and Shell Commands
Using an Alternate Partition Database File
Chapter 5 149
• filename must reside in /stand when the server boots because the
vPars monitor can only traverse HFS file systems of the boot disk.
• Be careful when creating partitions using the -Doption. Fewer checks
on configuration are being performed. It is possible to create a
partition configuration that is not valid.
• All LVM rules still apply. For example, you cannot migrate I/O only
by re-assigning the I/O to a different partition; you must still
vgexport and vgimport the volume groups.
• Although there is no command that displays which partition
database file was read when the monitor was booted, because the
local copies of the active database are synchronized every five
seconds, you should be able to tell which database file was read and
is active based on the time stamps of the various database files in
/stand.
