Assigning the Hardware Console LBA
One of the virtual partitions must own the LBA that contains the physical hardware console port. In our
example server, the hardware console port is at 0/0/4/0, which uses the LBA at 0/0. The LBA 0/0 is owned
by the partition winona1:
CAUTION The A.03.xx releases of vPars require the first virtual partition to own the LBA for the physical
hardware console port. For the example above, when we create the virtual partitions, we would
create winona1 and keira1 first.
Choosing the Boot and Lan Paths
Using the full ioscan output, we chose the following boot disk path and note the LAN card path:
Autoboot
Autoboot allows a virtual partition to be booted automatically on a cold boot of the system. By default,
autoboot is set to AUTO for all virtual partitions.
