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 [hw_path ]|[-p|-h|-a hw_path ]|[

-d]

The

mon_bootpath command adds a new boot path or updates the existing boot path for vPars monitor

in the hard partition EFI Boot Manager menu. Use this command to set the Primary boot path or HA

Alternate boot path or the Alternate boot path for the vPars monitor in the EFI Boot Manager menu.

When options are not speciﬁed, the mon_bootpath command displays the current values of the Pri-

mary, HA Alternate, and Alternate boot path for vPars monitor.

The hw_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 vpareﬁutil (1M)

for additional information on HP-UX hardware path to EFI path mappings.

The

mon_bootpath command may be invoked with one of the following mutually-exclusive options:

-p hw_path Set the primary boot path for vPars monitor to hw_path . It allows putting the

vPars monitor boot path at the beginning of the EFI Boot Manager menu. On next

boot this allows an unattended boot of vPars monitor to take place from the changed

boot path.

-h hw_path Set the High Availability alternate boot path for vPars monitor to hw_path .

-a hw_path Set the alternate boot path for vPars monitor to hw_path .

-d Display the default boot path from which the vPars monitor will be booted.

hw_path With no options and hw_path as an argument, the

mon_bootpath command will

set the boot path for vPars monitor to hw_path .

Note: The boot path entry will be placed at the end of the EFI boot manager menu.

This is to support the legacy behavior of the

mon_bootpath command.

When arguments are not provided, the

mon_bootpath command displays the current values of the Pri-

mary, HA Alternate, and Alternate boot paths for vPars monitor.

Note: The

parmodify and parstatus commands update and display the boot path entries with

the description HP-UX Boot in the hard partition EFI Boot Manager menu, while the

mon_bootpath command updates or displays the boot path entries with the description vPars

Monitor boot path. The last command executed, that is, either parmodify or mon_bootpath

command, succeeds in setting the boot path entries at the appropriate position in the EFI Boot

Manager menu.
