HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM V6.3 Administrator Guide

Table 4 VSP commands in vPars (continued)
DescriptionCommand
Resets a vPar. Simulates, at the vPar level, the hard reset, soft reset (Transfer Of Control, TOC),
power off, or graceful shutdown operations. When compared with the earlier versions of vPars,
the vparreset operation closely matches with the operation of physical hardware.
vparreset(1M)
Displays information about one or more vPars. The vparstatus can also display details about
the available resources that can be added to a vPar.
vparstatus(1M)
Manages the pool of CPU resources dedicated for use by the vPars on the VSP.vparhwmgmt(1M)
Creates and controls a vswitch.vparnet(1M)
Connects to the console of a vPar.vparconsole(1M)
When you use the vparcreate command to create a vPar, resources are reserved even while
the vPar is off. The vPar is set to automatically boot whenever the VSP reboots. However, if you
use the hpvmcreate command to create a vPar, the resource reservations are not configured,
and the vPar is not set to reboot automatically. For more information about resource reservations,
see Section 5.3 (page 57).
1.9.3 Virtual environment console
The virtual environment console is a special interface for managing vPar or VMs. To start the virtual
console after you create a vPar or VM, enter either the vparconsole command or the
hpvmconsole command and specify the vPar or VM name. To get help on how to use the virtual
console, enter the HE command. For more information about the virtual console, see Section 13.11
(page 227).
