-a|-d partition_name
Adds or deletes a virtual partition to or from the designated-admin virtual partition list. No flexible
administrative capability password is required here; passwords are required only at the HP-UX shell
prompt.
-l
Lists all the virtual partitions that are currently in the designated-admin virtual partition list. When the
mode is set initially to ON, the designated-admin virtual partition list will be empty, so all virtual
partitions are non-designated-admin virtual partitions. You can use the monadmin -a to add virtual
partitions to the list. Alternatively, at the HP-UX shell prompt, you can use vparadmin -a to add virtual
partitions to the list.
Without any options
displays whether the vPars flexible administrative capability feature is ON (enabled) or OFF (disabled).
NOTE The Monitor prompt (MON>) is not protected. Any person who knows the GSP/MP login and
password can access the console and therefore the MON> prompt. Using monadmin, the
GSP/MP user can change the flexible administrative capability mode and the
designated-admin virtual partition list. Console access is restricted using the GSP/MPs login
and password.
