Notes on Examples in this Chapter

Syntax of Example Commands

The example commands at the UNIX shell level in the following section use the following syntax:

<shell prompt><command>

where the shell prompt consists of the hostname of the current virtual partition and the hash sign (#). For example, if we log into winona1 and run the ls command, the command is shown as:

winona1# ls

If we are logged into winona1 and run the vparboot command with winona3 as the target virtual partition, the command is shown as:

winona1# vparboot -p winona3

Example Server

All the examples in this section use the same rp7400/N4000 configuration as in the installation chapter. See “Example Hard Partition”.

Note: unlike the rp7400/N4000, on a Superdome and other nPartition servers, the first element of the hardware path of the ioscan output is the cell number. For example, on the rp7400/N4000 the ioscan output shows:

0/0       ba              Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)

However, on a Superdome, the first element of the hardware path is the cell number. So, if the cell number is 4, the ioscan output shows:

4/0/0     ba              Local PCI Bus Adapter (782)

For more information on the nPartition hardware, see the manual HP Systems Partition Guide.
