HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.09) (5900-2188, March 2012)

a. To reboot the hard partition, use the vPars Monitor command reboot:
MON> reboot
b. To shut down the rp5470/L3000 or rp7400/N4000 servers, access the GSP usingCtrl-B.
You can then use the GSP command PC to power off the server. For example:
MON> ^B
GSP> PC
Alternatively, you can power off the rp5470/L3000 or rp7400/N4000 servers via the
physical power switch.
Because no partitions are running and vPars Monitor is running only in memory, shutting
down the vPars Monitor this way does not corrupt the server’s memory.
c. To power off the cells assigned to the nPartition, access the GSP using Ctrl-B. You can
then go to the Command Menu and use the command PE to power off the cells. For
example:
MON> ^B
GSP MAIN MENU:
CO: Consoles
VFP: Virtual Front Panel
CM: Command Menu
CL: Console Logs
SL: Show chassis Logs
HE: Help
X: Exit Connection
GSP> cm
Enter HE to get a list of available commands
GSP:CM> PE
This command controls power enable to a hardware device.
B - Cabinet
C - Cell
I - IO Chassis
Select Device: c
Enter cabinet number: 0
Enter slot number: 6
The power state is ON for the Cell in Cabinet 0, Slot 6.
In what state do you want the power? (ON/OFF) OFF
GSP:CM>
WARNING! Before modifying power settings, and for detailed warnings and information
on power for nPartitionable servers, read the section “Powering Cells and IO Chassis On
and Off” in the manual nPartition Administrator’s Guide available on the BSC website
at www.hp.com/go/hpux-npars-docs.
Setboot and System-wide Stable Storage
On a vPars system, the setboot command does not read from or write to system-wide stable
storage. Instead, the setboot command reads from and writes to the vPars partition database,
affecting only the entries of the virtual partition from which the setboot command was run.
For example, if you are logged into winona2 and execute the command:
winona2# setboot -b on
this would set the autoboot attribute to AUTO for the virtual partition winona2.
