Managing: Modifying Attributes of a Virtual Partition

You can change a virtual partition’s name and its resource attributes via the vparmodify command. When

using vparmodify to change attributes, the partition can be running, and the changes take effect

immediately. See the manpage vparmodify (1M) for more information on the attributes.

For information on modifying resources, see “CPU, Memory, and I/O Resources (A.04.xx)” on page 237.

Examples

• To rename the virtual partition uma1 to winona1:

# vparmodify -p uma1 -P winona1

• To set the autoboot attribute to manual for partition winona1 (manual turns autoboot off. By default, the

attribute is auto, which turns autoboot on):

# vparmodify -p winona1 -B manual

• To set the autosearch attribute to search for partition winona1:

# vparmodify -p winona1 -B search

• To set the static attribute for partition winona1 (static disables modiﬁcation of a partition’s resources.

By default, the attribute is dynamic):

# vparmodify -p winona1 -S static

• To set the default kernel path to /stand/vmunix.new for the virtual partition winona1:

# vparmodify -p winona1 -b /stand/vmunix.new

(vPars A.04.01) For 11i v2 (11.23) systems, alternate kernels are in the directory

/stand/alternate_config/.
