restricted to modifying only its own resources and attributes. A non Designated-Admin vPar cannot
create, boot, reset, modify, or remove another vPar. The
monadmin command may be invoked with one
of the following mutually-exclusive options:
-S on Enables the virtual partition flexible administrative capability and allows the MP user of an
nPartition to set a new virtual partition flexible administrative password. By default, all exist-
ing partitions are not Designated-Admin vPars.
-S off Disables the virtual partition flexible administrative capability and clears the virtual partition
flexible administrative password and the Designated-Admin vPars list. By default, all existing
partitions are Designated-Admin vPars.
The
on and off arguments are case-insensitive.
-a vpar_name
Specifies the name of the existing virtual partition which is to be added to the Designated-
Admin vPars list. The virtual partition name is added to the list when the virtual partition
flexible administrative capability is enabled.
-d vpar_name
Specifies the name of the existing virtual partition which is to be deleted from the Designated-
Admin vPars list. The virtual partition name is deleted from the list when the virtual parti-
tion flexible administrative capability is enabled.
-l List all the Designated-Admin vPars.
If no arguments are supplied,
monadmin displays whether the virtual partition flexible administrative
capability is enabled or disabled. The -a, -d, and -l options are used only when the virtual partition
flexible administrative capability is enabled.
mon_bootpath mon_boot_path
The
mon_bootpath command adds a new boot path or updates the existing boot path (with the descrip-
tion vPars monitor boot path) in the hard partition EFI Boot Manager menu. Use this command
to boot from a disk if the disk does not have an entry in the EFI Boot Manager menu.
The mon_boot_path hardware path must be a valid hardware path format (see ioscan(1M) for the correct
format) and a valid EFI device path mapping must exist for the hardware path in the vPars database.
Refer to vparefiutil (1M) for additional information on HP-UX hardware path to EFI path mappings.
vPars Monitor Information Lookup Commands
This section explains the vPars monitor information lookup commands.
bootpath
The bootpath command can be used to display monitor boot path.
cat filename [openonly]
The
cat command is similar to the HP-UX cat command. However, only one filename may be specified.
When the optional string openonly is given, the command will return after printing open suc-
ceeded if it was able to open the file in read-only mode.
This command is applicable for PA-RISC platforms only.
cbuf vpar_name
The
cbuf command can be used to dump contents of console buffer for the virtual partition vpar_name .
This command is applicable for PA-RISC platforms only.
getauto
The getauto command lists the contents of the AUTO file in the LIF directory. When the system is
booting up and when the global automatic booting is true, the ISL reads the contents of this file to load
the appropriate OS. For vpars, set this file with the hpux /stand/vpmon -a command to make the
system boot all the vpars whose autoboot is set on.
This command is applicable for PA-RISC platforms only.
lifls [directory_name]
The
lifls command can be used to list the contents of the LIF directory on the boot device.
