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

Starting the Virtual Partition Manager
Before you can start the virtual partition manager, vPars must be installed and running. For
information on installing vPars, see “Installing, Updating, or Removing vPars and Upgrading Servers
with vPars” (page 66). For information on installing the virtual partition manager, see “Installing
and Removing vPars-related Bundles ” (page 71).
After vPars is installed and running, you must boot at least one virtual partition to a HP-UX kernel.
You can then start the virtual partition manager in that virtual partition by executing the command
vparmgr
/opt/vparmgr/bin/vparmgr [-h]
/opt/vparmgr/bin/vparmgr -t create
/opt/vparmgr/bin/vparmgr -t modify|par_details -p vp_name
With no arguments, the vparmgr graphical user interface is launched. You can perform all
vparmgr operations from the GUI, as discussed below under using the graphical user interface.

-t create
