HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator's Guide (includes A.05.03)

On PA-RISC, you do not need to set modes.
• vparboot -I and the LAN Card On Integrity platforms, performing a vparboot -I
uses the LAN card of the target partition to obtain the bootable kernel.
See “Ignite-UX, the LAN, the LAN card, and vparboot -I” (page 76).
On PA-RISC, the lan card of the source partition is used.
• Boot String On Integrity platforms, the boot string used at the hpux.efi prompt (hpux>)
is “boot vpmon”.
See “Boot Sequence” (page 32).
See “vPars Monitor: Booting the vPars Monitor” (page 132).
See “Autoboot” (page 165).
On PA-RISC, the boot string at the hpux prompt (HPUX>) is “hpux /stand/vpmon”.
Commands
• vPars Commands These commands are effective only on Integrity:
— vparefiutil
— vparenv
— vparconfig
These commands are effective only on PA-RISC:
— vparreloc
— vparutil
