mon will not auto load

Mark Trux — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 08:16:20 GMT

I have an rx86xx--Integrity
OS HP-UX 11v2
Virtual Partition Software 4.0x

I have built a new vpar from the npar.
I set the mode
vparenv -m vPars
Reboot
Iterupted the load and did fs0:
hpux
Interuppted
hpux /stand/vpmon
mon>
vparload -p vpar0
It booted
Up to this point all worked great.
Now if I need to reboot vpar0 it will not boot.
I can interupt it and issue the commands I did above but I need it to load automatically.
What did I miss?

Did you set it to autoboot?
Did you change the auto file to read:
"boot vpmon -a" ?
Have you checked to see the boot device is the first in the EFI boot list?

Hi Mark,

please post the answers to Melvyn's questions and then please the complete log of boot phase.

>Now if I need to reboot vpar0 it will not boot.

It would be useful to see details of the boot phase to understand the reasons why it cannot boot.
I'm thinking of a particular problem that I faced in the past, anyway please post the complete boot phase.

Best regards,
Fabio

No I did do a setboot after it was up and it did show auto

>Did you change the auto file to read:

I didnt do this, I am nto quite sure how to?

>Have you checked to see the boot device is >the first in the EFI boot list?
I will check this.

Thanks for your help.
Can you assist with auto file?

As per the manual, you need to change the autoboot file on the boot disk to contain the string "boot vpmon -a"
to do this you use mkboot
See page 170 onwards of http://docs.hp.com/en/T1335-90073/T1335-90073.pdf
