Example Monitor Scenario (monadmin)
Below describes examples that include (from the Monitor):
• turning on the security feature (which will include setting the password)
• adding virtual partitions to the primary-admin virtual partition list
For this section, let’s assume we have the virtual partitions winona1, winona2, and winona3.
Turning On The Security Feature
Turning on the security feature for the first time is performed usually after
• at least one virtual partitions has been created (so that you have a vPars database)
• the vPars Monitor has been booted (so that you have the vPars product running)
Also, this allows you to have at least one virtual partition to be a primary-admin virtual partition, which
allows you to vparcreate, vparboot, vparreset, and vparmodify other partitions if needed.
Assuming we have already installed the vPars product, created virtual partitions, and have booted the
Monitor, we can set the security feature to ON. When the security feature is set to ON, you will also be asked
for a password that will be the new security password. The old password is not required.
MON>monadmin -S on
Enter vPar security password:
Re-enter to confirm:
secure vPar environment is set.
Adding Virtual Partitions to the Primary-admin Virtual Partition List
At this point, no virtual partitions have been added to the primary-admin virtual partition list. Let’s add
winona1 to the list.
MON> monadmin -a winona1
Partition "winona1" is added to Primary-Admin vPar list.
After we have completed the primary list, let’s boot all the virtual partitions.
MON> vparload -all
