I have one rx8640 server . and in that 1 Npar and 8 vpar .
As a part of our task I shutdown the 7 vpars. But ater that I tried to start one of the vpar from MON prompt . using the command vparload -p . But it s not starting . Its failed with the error
vPar "s96csp25" failed to load the kernel due to: non-bootable boot media; incorrect vPars software installed; or incorrect boot media EFI path in vPars database. Try using "vparload -p s96csp25 -E 0" to load the vPar. Error loading "s96csp25". Shutting down "s96csp25"... [MON] s96csp25 has halted. Same like when I tried for other vpar also .
Then as mentioned in the error message I used the command vparload -p s96csp25 -E 0 . and selected the primary and ALT disk ..still giving the same error .
below shows the boot flow elected boot option: 1/0/0/2/0.6.0.0.0.0.0

Some one pls help me to solve this issue ..thanks in advance
Most likely the firmware was switched to nPars mode (setenv -m nPars) prior shutdown of the vPars. In that case no vpar can be started as you get 'unsupported' message from boot loader. PHKL_41040 boot loader patch modified the error message so that the cause is more obvious.
