HP-UX Reference (11i v2 07/12) - 5 Miscellaneous (vol 9)

v
vpmon(5) vpmon(5)
The valid values for the optional argument mode are
vPars and nPars. If mode is specified as vPars,
after the reboot the system will be in the vPars mode. If mode is specified as
nPars, after the next reboot
the system will be in the nPars mode. The argument is case-insensitive.
This optional argument is applicable for Integrity platforms only.
toddriftreset
The toddriftreset
command resets to zero the time of day drift value of all the virtual partitions.
On a standalone system, the OS will own the real time of day clock. In
vPars, the vpmon emulates the
time of day clock for each virtual partition. To do this, the
vpmon keeps track of the drift value, which
indicates how much the real time of day clock differs from each virtual partition’s current time value. If the
user were to make any changes to the real time of day clock at the BCH prompt, the drift value becomes
invalid. In this situation, the user may use this command to set to zero the drift values for all of the parti-
tions.
settime [MM DD YYYY hh mm ss
]
Sets the system’s real time clock. Acceptable date range is 1-1-1970 00:00:00 to 12-31-2034 23:59:59.
time
Displays system real time clock and OS time of all the virtual partitions in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
The OS time displayed will consider the RTC and clock drift for the virtual partition. However, if the parti-
tion is up, there may be difference in the OS time displayed.
monadmin [-S on|off]|[-a|-d vpar_name]|[
-l]
This command enables the MP (Management Processor) user of an nPartition to enable or disable the vir-
tual partition flexible administrative capability and also to designate zero, one or more virtual partitions to
have administration capabilities (Designated-Admin vPars). A Designated-Admin vPar can create, boot,
reset, modify, and remove vPars other than itself. A non Designated-Admin vPar is restricted to modifying
only its own resources and attributes. It 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 existing
partitions are not Designated-Admin vPars.
-S off Disables the virtual partition flexible administrative capability, clears the virtual partition flexi-
ble administrative password and the Designated-Admin vPars list. By default, all existing parti-
tions 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 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 when the virtual partition 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
This command adds a new boot path or updates the existing boot path (with the description vPars mon-
itor boot path
) in the hard partition EFI Boot Manager menu. This command can be used 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 provided must be of 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 map-
pings.
