v
vparmodify(1M) vparmodify(1M)
manual Clears the autoboot and autosearch attributes. If the attribute is set to
manual, the vPar halts after a
vparreset, and does not boot when the
monitor is loaded. It must then be booted manually with the
vparboot
command.
search Sets the autosearch attribute. If the autosearch attribute is set to
search, then the combination of autoboot (
auto) and autosearch
(
search) decides the boot action to be taken. The interpretation of auto-
boot and autosearch has changed for systems that support hardware par-
titions. Refer to setboot (1M) for details.
nosearch Clears the autosearch attribute.
On hard partitioned systems with vPars the boot action corresponds to the autoboot
and autosearch flags in the following manner:
AutoBoot AutoSearch Boot Action
Halt the virtual partition for manual boot.off off
Attempt the primary path; on failure halt the vir-
tual partition.
on off
Attempt the primary path; on failure try the alter-
nate path.
on on
Skip the primary path and try the alternate path.
If the alternate path is not configured to boot or the
boot fails then halt the virtual partition.
off on
If the iCAP product has detected that the total of CPUs assigned to all vPars exceeds
the amount indicated by iCAP’s Intended Active number, it prevents any vPar from
rebooting, regardless of the setting of this attribute. The vparboot command is also
disabled. Refer to the Instant CAPacity (iCAP) User’s Guide available at
http://docs.hp.com
, and to the icod (5) manpage for more information.
Boot attributes may be changed while vp_name is running. If the
-B option is omitted,
the attributes are not changed.
-C sequence_id Cancel a pending Resource OL* operation. sequence_id specifies the Resource OL*
operation to cancel. Information about the unique sequence_id associated with
different OL* operation can be obtained using the vparstatus command. See
vparstatus (1M).
-D db_file Apply changes to the vp_name contained in db_file. The virtual partition monitor need
not be running. If it is, and db_file is its database, changes are made to the live data-
base. If db_file is a different database, the monitor is not notified of the modification.
Although db_file can reside in any path when accessed as an alternate database, it
must be placed in the
/stand directory before it can be loaded by the virtual partition
monitor as its live database.
If the
-D option is omitted, either the virtual partition monitor must be running, or the
default vPar database file, /stand/vpdb, must exist and contain a configured
vp_name . If the monitor is running, changes are applied to vp_name in the monitor’s
database.
-S static_attr Specifies the static virtual partition attribute. static_attr can have the following
values:
static sets the static attribute.
dynamic resets the static attribute.
The static/dynamic attribute may be changed while vp_name is running. If the
-S
option is omitted, the attribute is not changed.
No hardware resource changes can be made to a static virtual partition, that is, the
-a,
-m, and -d options are not allowed. This restriction applies to all virtual partitions,
whether in an alternate database file, or in the monitor’s database.
