Virtual Partitions (vPars) Management on nPartitions

Conﬁguring vPar Autoboot

HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1

Next the user issues the vparstatus command to list the current

settings for the vPars deﬁned in the /stand/vpdb ﬁle. Because the

vparstatus command is issued when the local nPartition is booted in

non-vPars mode, the command lists info based on the vpdb ﬁle rather

than the vPars monitor (which is not running).

# vparstatus

vparstatus: Warning: Virtual partition monitor not running, Requested resources

In this example both vPars, named “Shad” and “Mesh”, originally are

conﬁgured to be booted manually, as shown in the previous vparstatus

command output: the boot attribute for each is listed as “Manl” (manual).

Next the vparmodify command reconﬁgures the boot attribute for the

vPar named “Mesh” to auto.

After changing the boot attribute, issuing the vparstatus command

shows updated info about “Mesh” and lists its boot attribute as “Auto”

(auto).

# vparmodify -p Mesh -B auto

# vparstatus -p Mesh
