Syntax of Example Commands

The example commands at the UNIX shell level in the following section

use the following syntax:

where the shell prompt consists of the hostname of the current virtual

partition and the hash sign (#). For example, if we log into winona1 and

run the ls command, the command is shown as:

winona1# ls

If we are logged into winona1 and run the vparboot command with

winona3 as the target virtual partition, the command is shown as:

winona1# vparboot -p winona3

Example Server

All the examples in this section use the same rp7400/N4000

conﬁguration as in the installation chapter. See “Example Hard

Partition” on page 64.

Note: unlike the rp7400/N4000, on a Superdome and other nPartition

servers, the ﬁrst element of the hardware path of the ioscan output is the

cell number. For example, on the rp7400/N4000 the ioscan output shows:

0/0 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)

However, on a Superdome, the ﬁrst element of the hardware path is the

cell number. So, if the cell number is 4, the ioscan output shows:

4/0/0 ba Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)

For more information on the nPartition hardware, see the manual HP

Systems Partition Guide.
