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

Monitor and Shell Commands
Using an Alternate Partition Database File
Chapter 5116
• Be careful when creating partitions using the -D option. Fewer
checks on configuration are being performed. It is possible to create a
partition configuration that is not valid.
• All LVM rules still apply. For example, you cannot migrate I/O only by
re-assigning the I/O to a different partition; you must still vgexport
and vgimport the volume groups.
• Although there is no command that displays which partition database
file was read when the monitor was booted, because the local copies of
the active database are synchronized every five seconds, you should
be able to tell which database file was read and is active based on the
time stamps of the various database files in /stand.
