When you are performing Expert Recovery, you need to remember the following:
• You can no longer read from or write to system-wide stable storage using setboot. See “Boot||Shut:
Setboot and System-wide Stable Storage” on page 135.
• mkboot modifies the LIF area, but vPars does not use the LIF area to boot a virtual partition. See “mkboot
and LIF files” on page 26 and “The AUTO File on a Virtual Partition” on page 141.
• When you need to use boot options (for example, -is for single-user mode or -lm for LVM maintenance
mode), please read the sections “Boot||Shut: Booting a Virtual Partition” on page 130 and “Boot||Shut:
Other Boot Modes” on page 145.
• The HP-UX shell commands shutdown and reboot apply to the OS instance of a virtual partition and do
not shutdown or reboot the Monitor.
• There is no way to halt the hard partition from the MON> prompt. See “Boot||Shut: Shutting Down or
Rebooting a Virtual Partition” on page 131.
