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

Therefore, persistence across vPars Monitor reboots will not be maintained under any of the
following conditions:
• The vPars Monitor boot disk is not owned by any of the virtual partitions or no virtual partitions
are rebooted from the same disk. In this case, the vPars database of the vPars Monitor’s boot
disk will not be updated.
• All virtual partitions are down such that any flexible administrative capability changes cannot
be written to the vPars database.
• The virtual partition whose boot disk is the disk from which the vPars Monitor is booted is
down when flexible administrative capability changes are made.
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.
