off on Skip the primary path and try
alternate path. If the
alternate path is not
configured to boot or the
boot fails then halt the
virtual partition.
______________________________________________________
If the -B option is omitted, the attributes defaults to
auto and nosearch.
-D db_file Create the virtual partition in the virtual partition database contained in db_file.If
db_file does not exist, it is created by this command. This option should be used when
creating a new virtual partition database.
The virtual partition monitor need not be running. If it is, it is not notified of the new
virtual partition.
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 and the virtual partition monitor is running, the virtual
partition is created in the virtual partition monitor’s live database. If the monitor is
not running, the virtual partition is created in the default database file /stand/vpdb,
which is itself created if it does not exist.
-S static_attr Specifies the static vPar attribute. static_attr can have the following (case-insensitive)
values:
static sets the static attribute.
dynamic resets the static attribute.
virtual partitions set to static do not support any dynamic resource migration, nor
can resource attributes be added/deleted/modified with
vparmodify . This attribute
becomes effective after any initial resource allocation, so it is possible to assign
resources when creating a new virtual partition and still specify that the resulting vir-
tual partition be static.
If the
-S option is omitted, the attribute defaults to dynamic.
-b kernel_path Specifies the absolute path to a bootable kernel for the partition. For example, if a
non-partitioned system start string at the ISL prompt is:
ISL> hpux -iS /stand/vmunix
the kernel_path is the /stand/vmunix
portion of this string. If this option is omit-
ted, the virtual partition is created with a default kernel path of
/stand/vmunix
.
-o boot_opts Specifies the command-line string, except for the kernel path, applied when the vir-
tual partition is booted. For example, if a non-partitioned system start string at the
ISL prompt is:
ISL> hpux -iS /stand/vmunix
the boot_opts string is the -iS portion of this string. Note that if the string includes
a space, the string must be quoted.
Refer to "Monitor and Shell Commands" in Installing and Managing HP-UX Virtual
Partitions for a full list of supported boot option strings.
The default is the empty string.
-a rsrc Adds resources to a virtual partition. rsrc is a hardware resource specification, as
described in detail in the vparresources(5) manpage. A summary of resource syntax
forms is shown in Table 1 below. Multiple -a rsrc specifications in the same com-
mand are allowed, but some syntax forms are only allowed once. This in indicated in
Table 1. In all cases, resources in multiple specifications must not repeat or conflict
with each other.
