Modifying Attributes of a Virtual Partition

You can change a virtual partition’s name and its resource attributes via

the vparmodify command. When using vparmodify to change

attributes, the partition can be running, and the changes take effect

immediately. See the manpage vparmodify (1M) for more information on

attributes.

Examples • To rename the virtual partition szilva1 to winona1:

# vparmodify -p szilva1 -P winona1

• To set the autoboot attribute to manual for partition winona1

(manual turns autoboot off. By default, the attribute is auto, which

turns autoboot on):

# vparmodify -p winona1 -B manual

• To set the static attribute for partition winona1 (static disables

modiﬁcation of a partition’s resources. By default, the attribute is

dynamic):

# vparmodify -p winona1 -S static

• To set the default kernel path to /stand/vmunix.new for the virtual

partition winona1:

# vparmodify -p winona1 -b /stand/vmunix.new
