In general the procedure is the same as it is for non vpar systems, but the autoboot string on the disk must point to /stand/vpmon instead of /stand/vmunix. In a superdome 2 a vPar is just like a nPar with no difference in mirroring.

You update the vpdb with a command like this:

# vparmodify -p vpar1 -m io:2/0/3/1.0.4.1.0.0.0.0.0.0:ALTBOOT
