HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.08) (5900-1312, March 2011)

vPars Commands
When the flexible administrative capability mode is ON, the vPars flexible administrative capability
feature restricts the vPars commands such that you can alter another virtual partition only if you
execute the command from a partition that is in the designated-admin virtual partition list. When
you execute the command from a non-designated-admin virtual partition, if the command alters
another virtual partition, it will not be allowed. (A.03.03 only: this is true even if the vPars commands
are applied to an alternate database).
The table below shows the results when the flexible administrative capability feature is ON.

The remaining vPars commands, such as vparstatus, are allowed by all virtual partitions
regardless of the flexible administrative capability mode because they do not alter other virtual
partitions.
