Guide.

Making an Archive of a Virtual Partition

make_tape_recovery is not supported for vPars hard partition. You

need to use make_net_recovery.

make_net_recovery works the same for making archives of both

non-vPars and vPars hard partitions.

Recovering a Virtual Partition

Ignite-UX modiﬁes the LIF area during a recovery, yet vPars does not

use the LIF area for booting a virtual partition; therefore, on a vPars

hard partition you need to perform some additional steps.

NOTE Before performing recovery, read the section “Updating the Ignite-UX

Server” on page 79.

To recover a virtual partition, perform the following from a running

virtual partition. (In these examples, the partition winona1 is running

and the partition winona2 is the partition being recovered.)

1. Record whether the autoboot attribute is set. You may need to set it

back to this state in Step 7.

winona1# vparstatus -p winona2

winona2 Down Dyn,Auto

2. Set the autoboot attribute to manual for the target virtual partition

(the virtual partition you wish to recover):

winona1# vparmodify -p winona2 -B manual
