Vparreset

roadrunner_1 — Fri, 19 Mar 2004 09:25:32 GMT

After shutting down the vpar using "shutdown -h" command, the vpar hung at the stage where it was trying to bring down the Veritas Enterprise Administrator. I did a vparreset -h and the vpar was in crash state and then finally came to a "down" state.

I am now trying to reboot this vpar - vparboot -p vpar1, but no look. The status does not change...it simply sits in down state.

FYI.Its a rp8400 with 2 vpars on one npar. I cannot reset the npar because the other vpar is in an active and up state.

How do I bring up the vpar which is in the down state???

Can you connect to console and goto second vpar? Check what you get there.

Hi,

Did you try a soft reset from your running partition to you hung partition?

Check:

select the Resetting a hung partition section.

Vrijhoeven - soft reset did not work..Thats why I had to do vparreset -h which is a hard reset...

Hi,

Ok Sorrie, just a hint, since vparreset = shutdown -h = halt vpar. it should boot using the vparboot command. Did you try other boot options, like single user mode?
alternate disk?

vparboot -p vpar1 -o "-is"
or an alternate path ?

vparmodify -p vpar1 -a io:0/8/0/0.2.0:ALTBOOT

HTH,

Vrijhoeven - I did try all options...only option I did not try is delete vpar, create it and then boot, but I dont think this will help...

The problem is solved. All I did recreate the Vpar and boot the vpar with -B option. It worked.
