JAGaf41706 and JAGaf47668, PHCO_33044
Applicable on
❏ vPars A.04.xx on Integrity

Description
In a vPars environment, setboot may display extraneous output.
Symptoms
setboot may display this extraneous mpctl error message:
winona1# setboot
mpctl: Invalid argument
...
or the extraneous note:
winona1# setboot
...
Note: The interpretation of Autoboot and Autosearch has changed for
systems that support hardware partitions. Please refer to the manpage.
Workaround
In a vPars environment, you may ignore both the mpctl error message as
well as the note. Later this year, PHCO_33044 will be released to correct the
output.
