vparreset2(1M)

For OA Based Partition Management Systems

vparreset2(1M)

NAME

vparreset - reset a virtual partition

SYNOPSIS

Invoked from operating system (OS):

vparreset -f -p vpar_id

[-h | -t]

Invoked from Onboard Administrator (OA):

vparreset -f { -p vpar_id -N npar_id |

-p npar_id:vpar_id }

[

-h | -t]

Platform Support Remarks

This

vparreset describes functionality on systems with Onboard Administrator (OA) based parti-

tion management. For vparreset on systems not running OA based partition management,

refer to vparreset1 (1M) by typing man vparreset1

DESCRIPTION

The

vparreset command simulates, at the virtual partition level, the hard reset (ReSet, RS) and soft

reset (Transfer Of Control, TOC) operations supported by server management processor commands.

Unintentional use of the

vparreset

command has serious consequences. Therefore, the user is

required to conﬁrm the operation with the

-f (force) option.

Options and Arguments

vparreset recognizes the following command line options and arguments:

-f Speciﬁes the force option. Required.

-p vpar_id Speciﬁes the virtual partition to be reset. vpar_id can be speciﬁed either as a name or

number. Required.

When invoked from the OS, the command resets the speciﬁed virtual partition of the

local nPartition.

When invoked from the OA, the vpar_id should be speciﬁed using the npar_id

:vpar_id

format or used along with the

-N option. When speciﬁed in the npar_id :

vpar_id format,

npar_id and vpar_id can either be a number or name. The command resets the speciﬁed

virtual partition of the speciﬁed nPartition.

-h Simulates a hard (RS) reset instead of a TOC. This option inhibits the autoboot behavior,

as does the shutdown -h command. Therefore vparreset -h can be used to break

out of a reboot loop. Because vparreset -h overrides the autoboot setting for the

speciﬁed virtual partition, the virtual partition must be manually restarted using vpar-

boot.

With the

-h option, the virtual partition operating system is abruptly shutdown and no

operating system crash dump is saved. Therefore, HP recommends using the -t (soft

reset) option instead of the -h option to save a crash dump when resetting.

-t Simulates a TOC reset. The -t option is the default operation of the command, applied

if neither the -h nor -t option is speciﬁed.

When invoked from OA, the

-t option is equivalent to another OA command: INIT

PARTITION nPar_Id:vPar_Id.

The

-t and -h options cannot both be speciﬁed in the same command.

-N npar_id Speciﬁes the nPartition to which the virtual partition belongs to. npar_id can be

speciﬁed either as a number or a name. This option is mandatory for the command

invoked from OA.

SECURITY RESTRICTIONS

When invoked from the OS, this command is restricted to processes owned by superuser having appropri-

ate

parperm privilege. An OA user with operator privilege level or above can reset virtual partitions

from the OA.
