Effect of Shutdown -R from vpar

[JUGAL KISHORE MAHESHWAR]

I have one N-par in super dome , in that I have created 4 Vpars. All are working fine.
I have added one spare cell board to Npar
Now if I am issuing a command Shutdown -H now
from one Vpar. What will happen to other vpars. or exsisting vpar

It won't work since you haven't mention -R option along with -H.

Since you added cell board, you can shutdown all 4 vpars using shutdown -hy 0 which will halt them.

Once you get MON> prompt means all vpars down.

Logon to GSP and issue following commands to reconfigure your partition.

GSP:> cm
GSP:CM>RR
select partition to reconfigure.

Reason for it is: Vpars are up and running and to reconfigure partition you have to issue RR while all vpars are down.

Hi Jugal,

That is not going to work.Please be aware of following two situations.

1.If u r changing anything on Napar, u may need to shutdown all vapr and down vpmon.

2.Since u told that cell board has been added, it should rendzevous with other cells.This could be done only if u rebooted napr with reset/ready for reconfig option. U can do it with shutdown -R from napr where all ur cells are booted to BCH/hp-ux.Or u can issue shutdown -R -H which will halt napar with ready for reconfig state. That means all ur cells will be placed under boot-is-blocked mode.U may need to issue CM-BO from console.And the last option, issue RR from GSP.

And make sure u have added cell board with use-on-next-boot with 'y'.

Good luck.

Hi Arun

My question is , if I give command Shutdown -R , what will happen to exsisting vpar , & what will happen to other VPARS.

Will the exsisting vpar will reboot or will wait for other vpars o get halted & then go to boot Npar with new configuration.

Hi Jugal,

I think no one has tried to do shutdown -R on a vpar environment.

If your purposes is to activate the new cellboard, then you will have to shutdown all the vpar and issue RR from the GSP

nothing will happen, it will say that you need to shutdown other vpars.
