Shutting Down or Rebooting the Hard
Partition (rebooting the vPars monitor)
To halt or reboot the hard partition gracefully, you need to do the
following:
1. Log into every virtual partition that is running and gracefully
shutdown the partition via the HP-UX command shutdown.
There is no command that shuts down all the virtual partitions at
the same time. You need to shutdown every virtual partition one at a
time.
For our example, if all our partitions were up, we would need to shut
them down:
winona1# vparstatus
winona1# shutdown -h
winona2# vparstatus
winona2# shutdown -h
winona3# vparstatus
winona3# shutdown -h
2. After the last virtual partition is shutdown, you will be at the
monitor prompt (MON>) on the console.
a. To reboot the hard partition, use the monitor command reboot:
MON> reboot
b. To shutdown the rp5470/L3000 or rp7400/N4000 servers, access
the GSP using Ctrl-B. You can then use the GSP command PC
to power off the server. For example:
MON> ^B
GSP> PC
Alternatively, you can power off the rp5470/L3000 or
rp7400/N4000 servers via the physical power switch.
Because no partitions are running and monitor is running only
in memory, shutting down the monitor this way does not corrupt
the server’s memory.
