Installing and Managing HP-UX Virtual Partitions (A.02.01)

Monitor and Shell Commands
Using Monitor Commands
Chapter 5 103
Note:
This command can onlybe used when themonitor /stand/vpmon
is booted and the default partition database (/stand/vpdb) does
not exist, the alternate partition database as specified in the -p
option of /stand/vpmon does not exist, or the database file read
is corrupt. For information on when the monitor is booted, see
“Boot Sequence” on page 39. For more information on the -p
option, see “Booting the vPars Monitor” on page 100.
• vparload -all
vparload -auto
vparload -p partition_name [-b kernelpath ] [-o boot_options ]
[-B hardware_path ]
boots the virtual partition partition_name ; this command is similar
to the vPars Unix shell command vparboot.
Examples:
-all boots all virtual partitions, regardless of
the autoboot attribute. For more
information on the autoboot attribute, see
the vparcreate (1M) or vparmodify (1M)
manpages.
-auto boots all virtual partitions that have their
autoboot attribute flag set to AUTO.
-b kernelpath boots the virtual partition using the kernel
kernelpath , such as
/stand/vmunix.prev, instead of the
default kernel /stand/vmunix.
-o boot_options boots the virtual partition using the
options boot_options , such as -is for
single-user mode or -lm for LVM
maintenance mode.
-B hardware_path boots the virtual partition using the disk
device at the hardware_path
