Change vpar status from "shut" to "down" status

john xu_1 — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 18:20:47 GMT

Hi,

I have an issue now. Could you please help?

The issue is our one of vPar at rx8640 is into "shut" status after vpar reboot. Could you please tell me how to change into "down" status? And there isn't any impact to all remaining vpars at the same box.

Thanks,

John

Take a look at this doc:

http://docs.hp.com/en/T1335-90078/T1335-90078.pdf

"If a virtual partition has its autoboot attribute set to MANUAL, the virtual partition will only
halt and will not reboot when the command shutdown -r (or reboot -r) is given. For
more information on the virtual partition attributes, see the vparmodify (1M) manpage and
â Managing: Modifying Attributes of a Virtual Partitionâ on page 158."

Interesting thing is, a shut state means: "The virtual partition is shutting down gracefully. Once the partition is shutdown, the state moves to down."

Maybe try a vparreset command?

Hi Geoff,

Thanks your helps, you know our vpar is set to autoboot and the vpar is on "shut" status after rebooting.

By the way, I'd like also to double confirm if there is any impact to other vpars when running vparreset command.

Thanks again,

John

vparreset -p vparname

And it won't affect other vpars.
