HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.08) (5900-1312, March 2011)

Each virtual partition has an 8K circular buffer for console output. If not already displayed, the
vPars Monitor copies this 8K buffer to the console when you press Ctrl-A.
CAUTION: (A.03.xx only) The first virtual partition that you create must own the LBA (local bus
adapter) that contains the physical hardware console port. For an example, see “Assigning the
Hardware Console LBA” (page 54).
