Basic commands of NPAR and VPAR + HP UX

Hi Friends,

Some of the basic commands of NPAR and VPAR.
 
1.       #vparenv
2.       #vparenv –m npars :- to boot into npar mode. it means on boot it will go to npar.
3.       #vparenv –m vpars :- to boot into vpar mode. It means on boot it will go to vpar.
4.       #vparstatus :- to check the status
5.       #parstatus –c 0 :- shows information about specified cell, here like it is for 0. 6.      #parstatus –v :- status in verbose mode i.e. more detailed status.
7.      #parstatus –w:  it will show where we are sitting i.e. on which NPAR we are sitting.
8.       #vparstatus –A: Will show the devices which are free, like IO devices and CPUs etc.
9. #vparcreate
10. #vparremove
11. #icapstatus :- shows information about vpar, about its CPU, Memory, and devices assigned. it also provides serial number, OS info, product number, etc informations of the VPAR server.
this was used in earlier versions.

at efi level we are able to select disk to boot the server

>map -r

then you can select the file system fs0:,fs1:

but if you dont remember the boot path of disk at mon prompt then we can use vparload command to identify the available boot disk on particular vpar...

mon>vparload -p vparname -E 0

Boot all vPars from the monitor:
MON> vparload –all
=================================

Boot using the Primary or Alternate Boot Path from another partition:
vpar1# vparboot –p vpar4 (Primary boot path is the default)
vpar1# vparboot –p vpar4 –B alt
Boot using the Primary or Alternate Boot Path from the monitor:
MON> vparload –p vpar4 (Primary boot path is the default)
MON> vparload –p vpar4 –B 0/8/0/0.2.0 (Must use hardware path)
==================================
Boot into Single User Mode from the monitor:
MON> vparload –p vpar3 –o “-is”
Boot into Single User Mode from another partition:
vpar1# vparboot –p vpar3 –o “-is”
=================================

Boot into Maintenance Mode:
MON> vparload –p vpar2 –o “-lm”
Boot into Maintenance Mode from another partition:
vpar1# vparboot –p vpar2 –o “-lm”
