Step 7. At the vPars monitor’s MON> prompt, enter the vparinfo command to list
details about the vPars currently defined in the vPars database (vpdb).
Especially note the list of vPars that the vparinfo command displays as
the “Names of the partitions in the database”.
MON> vparinfo

To see detailed information about a particular vPar you can use the
vparinfo vpname command, where vpname is the vPar’s name. This
detailed information includes the resources assigned to the vPar and
other details such as the vPar boot path(s) and the vPar’s autoboot
setting.
Step 8. From the vPars monitor’s MON> prompt, use the vparload command
load/boot HP-UX on a Virtual Partition.
You can specify any of the following vparload commands at the vPars
monitor MON> prompt:
• To load/boot HP-UX on all vPars that are defined in the current
vPars configuration database, enter: vparload -all
• To load/boot HP-UX on a single vPar, enter: vparload -p vpname
where vpname is the name of the vPar, as reported by the vparinfo
command in the previous step.
