off off Halt the virtual partition for
manual boot.
on off Attempt the primary path;
on failure halt the virtual
partition.
on on Attempt the primary path;
on failure try alternate path.
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 are not changed.
-D db_file Apply changes to the vp_name contained in db_file. The virtual partition monitor
need not be running. If it is, it 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, the virtual partition monitor must be running. Changes
are applied to vp_name in the monitor’s database. A vp_name in the monitor data-
base must be in the
Down state, with one exception: Unbound cpu resources can be
added to or deleted from a running virtual partition. This restriction may be relaxed
for other types of resource management in a future release.
-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.
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 parti-
tions, whether in an alternate database file, or in the monitor’s database.
Since command line options are processed left-to-right, you can modify resources in a
static partition by specifying
-S dynamic on the command line before any resource
options, then specifying -S static after all resource options to prevent further
resource modifications.
-b kernel_path Specifies the absolute path to a bootable kernel for the partition. If the option is omit-
ted, the kernel_path is not changed.
-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.
If the -o option is omitted, the boot_opts is not changed.
-P new_vp_name Specifies the new name for the virtual partition being modified, that is, after all
modifications are successfully applied to vp_name, it is renamed to new_vp_name,
