Syntax of Example Commands
The example commands at the Unix shell level in the following section use the following syntax:
<HP-UX shell prompt><command>
where the shell prompt consists of the hostname of the current virtual partition and the hash sign
(#). For example, if we log into winona1 and run the ls command, the command is shown as:
winona1# ls
If we are logged into winona1 and run the vparboot command with winona3 as the target virtual
partition, the command is shown as:
winona1# vparboot -p winona3
