When you are performing Expert Recovery, you need to remember the
following:
• You can no longer read from or write to system-wide stable storage
using setboot. See “System-wide Stable Storage and Setboot” on
page 42.
• mkboot modifies the LIF area, but vPars does not use the LIF area to
boot a virtual partition. See “mkboot and LIF files” on page 18 and
“Simulating the AUTO File on a Partition” on page 104.
• When you need to use boot options (for example, -is for single-user
mode or -lm for LVM maintenance mode), see “Booting a Partition
into Single-User Mode” on page 100 and “Using Other Boot Options”
on page 102.
• The HP-UX shell commands shutdown and reboot apply to the OS
instance of a virtual partition and do not shutdown or reboot the
monitor.
• There is no way to halt the computer from the MON> prompt. See
“Shutting Down or Rebooting the Computer” on page 91.
