HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.09) (5900-2188, March 2012)

MON> vparload -p winona2 -b /stand/vmunix.prev
◦ To boot the partition winona2 using the disk device at 0/8/0/0.2.0:
MON> vparload -p winona2 -B 0.8.0.0.2.0
Note:
◦ -b kernelpath allows you to change the target kernel for only the next boot of
partition_name. If you wish to make a permanent change to the partition database,
use the vparmodify command.
For example, to change the partition database information so that winona2 always boots
using /stand/vmunix.other:
# vparmodify -p winona2 -b /stand/vmunix.other
See the vparmodify(1M) manpage for more information on modifying the partition
database.
(vPars A.04.01) For 11i v2 (11.23) systems, alternate kernels are in the directory /stand/
alternate_config/.
Also, when a virtual partition is booted, there may be a pause in the console output. For
more information, see “Booting a Virtual Partition” (page 147).
Finally, when there is a pending Reboot for Reconfiguration for the involved nPartition,
the target virtual partitions will not be booted until all the virtual partitions within the
nPartition have been shut down and the vPars Monitor rebooted. For more information
see “Shutting Down or Rebooting the nPartition (Or Rebooting the vPars Monitor)”
(page 149).
• bootpath
displays the device from which the vPars Monitor (/stand/vpmon) was booted
Example:
MON>bootpath
disk(0.0.2.0.6.0)
• mon_bootpath
allows you to put the monitor bootpath at the beginning of the EFI Boot Manager menu. The
option -p is available for this purpose. On the next boot, this allows an unattended boot from
the changed bootpath. The option –p allows you to set the path that you want the monitor to
boot from on the first entry at the EFI Boot Manager Menu. The option -h allows you to set
the High Availability alternate boot path for vPars monitor. The option -a allows you to set
the alternate boot path for vPars monitor. You can use the -d option to see the default bootpath
from which the monitor has booted.
nl
When arguments are not provided, the mon_bootpath command displays the current values
of the Primary, HA Alternate, and Alternate boot paths for vPars Monitor. It displays the boot
path entries with the description vPars Monitor boot path in EFI Boot Manager menu.
Example:
MON>mon_bootpath -p <hw path of the disk>
NOTE: For details about the mon_bootpath command, see the vpmon(5) manpage.
• reboot [mode]
reboots the entire hard partition. Other hard partitions are not affected.
mode sets the mode for the next reboot and has the value of either nPars or vPars. This is
applicable on only Integrity systems.
