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

NOTE: You should shut down each virtual partition (using the Unix shutdown command)
prior to executing the vPars Monitor reboot command. A confirmation prompt is provided,
but if you accept confirmation of the reboot while any virtual partitions are running, the reboot
brings the running partitions down ungracefully. For more information, see “Shutting Down
or Rebooting the nPartition (Or Rebooting the vPars Monitor)” (page 149).
Displaying Information
• cat filename [openonly]
displays the contents of filename. When openonly is specified, this command only prints
"open succeeded" if the vPars Monitor was able to open the filename. This command is
similar to the Unix cat command.
filename must be a text file on an HFS file system.
/stand is the default directory
Example:
◦ To display the file /stand/notes.txt
MON> cat notes.txt
10/13/2001: built new kernel today. if problems arise, revert to saved kernel vmunix.original
• cbufpartition_name
displays the contents of the console buffer of partition_name
• clear_pending
clears a pending Reboot for Reconfiguration. If there is a pending Reboot for Reconfiguration
within the nPartition, no virtual partitions can be rebooted until all the virtual partitions within
the given nPartition are shut down and the involved vPars Monitor is rebooted. If Reboot for
Reconfiguration has been set in error, the clear_pending command clears it, enabling
virtual partition boots.
• help
help or ? lists all vPars Monitor commands
• lifls
lists the files in the LIF area
• getauto
displays the contents of the AUTO file in the LIF area
Example:
◦ MON> getauto
hpux /stand/vpmon
• log
displays the contents, including warning and error messages, of the vPars Monitor log. The
vPars Monitor log holds up to 16 KB of information in a circular log buffer. The information
is displayed in chronological order.
• ls [-alniFH] [directory]
lists the contents of directory. This command is similar to the Unix ls command.
directory must be on a HFS file system. /stand is the default directory
