Booting a Virtual Partition

To boot a single virtual partition, use either the monitor command vparload or the shell command vparboot.

To boot the existing virtual partition winona1 from ISL:

ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon vparload -p winona1

To boot virtual partition winona1 from the monitor:

MON> vparload -p winona1

To boot virtual partition winona2 from another virtual partition winona1:

winona1# vparboot -p winona2




	NOTE: On nPartition-able servers, memory assigned to a virtual partition is scrubbed as part of the boot process. This will increase boot times, propotional to the amount of memory assigned the virtual partition. Further, if the virtual partition that is being booted owns the hardware console port, there will be a pause in the console output. For more information, see “Switchover Pause with Shutting Down”. When there is a pending reboot for reconfiguration for the involved nPartition, the target virtual partition of the vparload or vparboot commands will not be booted until all the virtual partitions have been shutdown and the vPars monitor rebooted. For more information see “Shutting Down or Rebooting the Hard Partition (rebooting the vPars monitor)”.
