To boot the vPars Monitor, from ISL or EFI, specify /stand/vpmon:
—PA-RISC:
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon
— Integrity:
Shell> fs0
fs0:\> hpux
HPUX> boot vpmon
Note: you must be in vPars mode to boot the Monitor. See “Modes: Switching between nPars and vPars
Modes (Integrity only)” on page 95. Also, backspace is sometimes not parsed correctly; if the command
fails, try again without backspacing.
With no arguments to vpmon, the Monitor will load and go into interactive mode with the following prompt:
MON>
The following options are available when booting the Monitor:
For more information on the vPars boot sequence, see “Boot Sequence” on page 33.
