Installing and Managing HP-UX Virtual Partitions (A.01.01)

Monitor and Shell Commands

Using Monitor Commands

Chapter 578

Examples:

To boot the partition winona2 into single-user mode:

MON> vparload -p winona2 -o "-is"

To boot the partition winona2 using the kernel

/stand/vmunix.other:

MON> vparload -p winona2 -b /stand/vmunix.prev

To boot the partition winona2 using the disk device at

0/8/0/0.2.0:

MON> vparload -p winona2 -B 0/8/0/0.2.0

Note:

-b

kernelpath

allows you tochange the target kernel for onlythe

next boot of

partition_name

. If you wish to make a permanent

change to the partition database, use the vparmodify command.

For example, to change the partition database information so that

winona2 always boots using /stand/vmunix.other:

# vparmodify -p winona2 -b /stand/vmunix.other

See the vparmodify (1M) manpage for more information on

modifying the partition database.

• reboot

reboots the entire computer.

NOTE You should shut down each partition (using the Unix shutdown

command) prior to executing the 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 Computer” on page 91.
