The menu choices mean:

starting address

> for <

> 32-bit words.

For example:

Enter Address: 0x1000 4

0x00001000 0x00000000 0x1200a000 0xaa400000 0x00000000

Enter Address: quit

2. continues with the default crash handling

3. allows you to chose an alternate device to which the monitor dump is

written. The alternate device must contain the pre-allocated ﬁle

/stand/vpmon.dmp. The ﬁlevpmon.dmp is automaticallycreated in

/stand of a partition’s boot disk by the vPars startup script.

4. soft resets the current partition. This is similar to vparreset -p

<partition> -t

5. hard resets the current partition. This is similar to vparreset -p

<partition> -h

6. boots the speciﬁed partition for crash processing

7. boots the speciﬁed partition for crash processing

If you chose to invoke a partition for crash processing or to examine

memory contents, you will be returned to this menu after those actions

are completed (assuming no new crash event is encountered).
