A Virtual Partition Remains in Load State with sx2000 Chipset

Chapter 3 31

• Update the server ﬁrmware to the latest version. See the HP-UX Virtual

Partitions Ordering and Conﬁguration Guide for ﬁrmware version

details.

• If the virtual partition remains in the load state (you can use

vparstatus to verify the state), perform the following:

1. Issue a hard reset using vparreset to the virtual partition.

For example, if winona2 remains in the load state, to issue a hard

reset:

winona1# vparreset -p winona2 -h

2. When the target partition is in the down state, attempt booting the

partition using vparboot.

For example:

winona1# vparboot -p winona2

The virtual partition should recover and boot properly.
