Terminal error: Run vparenv or vparconfig commands at at the EFI prompt to swtich to Vpars Mode
The machine does not boot unless I go into EFI mode. It keeps cycling.
I tried to run these commands from the EFI and it said command not found.
I got the machine into multiuser mode, can I run some of these commands on the fully booted machine?

Re: Terminal error: Run vparenv or vparconfig commands at at the EFI prompt to swtich to Vpars Mode
EFI only controls booting. Since you are referring to vPar commands, have you booted the machine into vPar mode with vpmon? The usual hpux boot command won't work.

Yes by default, it boots with the vpmon option. And then resets.

None of the vparenv commands work at the EFI prompt - command not found.

"resets"?
Can you be more specific? Did the system crash (panic)?
Do you get the MON> prompt?
EFI knows nothing about vPar commands. These are HP-UX commands that you can use in one of your vPars after it boots up. The MON> prompt is the interface to vpmon.

Re: Terminal error: Run vparenv or vparconfig commands at at the EFI prompt to swtich to Vpars Mode
in fact there is vparconfig(.efi) command installed in EFI partition on vpar system (if correctly installed and you are looking on the correct boot disk). The command allows switching between modes, but I would recommend to switch to the vpar mode from HPUX command vparenv (when booted into vmunix, aka from standalone mode).
As for the error - you really need to share what it tells you - but it seems you are booting npar in nPar mode into vpmon and to achieve that you need to switch to vpar mode first. Boot the npar to vmunix (not to vpmon) and switch to vpar mode from there using vparenv HPUX command.
See vPars Admin Guide.

ERROR: Please use the vparenv(1M) command in HP-UX or the vparconfig(1M) command at the EFI prompt to switch to vPars mode .
Unsupported boot environment for the vPar monitor. Resetting the system!

Re: Terminal error: Run vparenv or vparconfig commands at at the EFI prompt to swtich to Vpars Mode
The "Unsupported boot environment for the vPar monitor." is the important piece. vpmon needs the system to be in vpar mode, which it clearly isn't but your AUTO file seems to be booting /stand/vpmon. So if you want to get to HPUX stop the boot at bootloader (HPUX> prompt) and "boot vmunix". If you want to be running vPars, follow the manual to set it up and switch to vpar mode from HPUX afterwards (using vparenv HPUX command)
