Chapter 17 Virtual Partitions (vPars)
October 29, 2013
It is recommended to configure LBA with the physical hardware console port as part of the first
virtual partition created.
vparboot
The vparboot command is used to boot a second vPars from a running vPars. The vparboot
command has several options as the vparload command at the Monitor prompt. Examples:
Boot vpar2 partition from running vpar1 partition:
vpar1# vparboot -p vpar2
Boot vpar2 partition to single user mode from running vpar1 partition:
vpar1# vparboot -p vpar2 –o “-is”
vparmodify
With vparmodify we can change the resources and attributes of an existing virtual partition. The
options are similar to the vparcreate command. The difference here is to use the option -d to
delete a resource or attribute. Another option is -m to modify the attributes or resources in a
vPars. Examples:
Modify the primary boot path to vpar1:
vptest# vparmodify -p vpar1 -m io:0/8/0/0.5.0:BOOT
Set the alternate boot path:
vptest# vparmodify -p vpar1 -a io:0/8/0/0.2.0:ALTBOOT
Modifying a virtual partition can be done by deleting and then adding a resource. Otherwise we
can use vparmodify -m to modify a resource. The next table shows the different options for
vparmodify for adding, removing, or deleting resources. See also the manpage
vparresources(5) on a running vPars system.
