Managing nPartitions from a vPar
This section covers the nPartition management issues that are unique to
Virtual Partition environments.
NOTE In vPar environments, you can apply the same nPartition configuration
tools and principles that you use in non-vPars environments—but you
must take additional steps to perform a reboot for reconfig of an
nPartition that has more than one vPar loaded/booted.
The procedures in this section address the minor differences in
performing nPartition reconfiguration and reboot for reconfig processes
when using vPars in an nPartition.
The following procedures are covered in this section:
• vPar Management: Determining if an nPartition is Running vPars on
page 505
• vPar Management: Performing a Reboot for Reconfig or Shutdown to
Ready for Reconfig from a vPar on page 508
• vPar Management of nPartitions: Adding and Removing nPartition
Cells from a vPar on page 510
• vPar Management of nPartitions: Reconfiguring nPartition Attributes
from a vPar on page 514
Also refer to the chapter Managing nPartitions on page 245 for complete
nPartition management procedures.
vPar configuration procedures are covered in the section Procedures for
Managing vPars on HP nPartition Servers on page 473.
