Shutdown virtual partition

Dirk Rosinski — Thu, 21 Nov 2002 11:23:28 GMT

Hello all!
In the case a virtual partition hangs, do I have a chance to shutdown (not reset) the hanging partition from another one.
Thanks in advance
Dirk

Hi, Dirk

you can shutdown/restart the hung partion from the first partition (disk where the partition database exist)

#vparstatus
gives you the each virtual partition status

using vparreset a vPar can be sent an emulated hard reset
#vparreset -p -h

The -h causes an emulation of a hard reset. It also has the side effect of overriding the current autoboot setting for that vPar, therefore vPar must be manually restarted using
vparboot
#vparboot -p
This command has to be issued from first partition

Dirk,

No ... You can't do it. Just consider your vpar as an individual system. No login means no shutdown. You can only reset (vparreset -h) or TOC (vparreset -t) to get a dump and analyze the hang state.

Regards.
