# vparboot -p vpar2.abc
vparboot: Error: Virtual partition monitor not running.

How can i restart my vpar monitoring ?

I understand you have not booted from the vpar because vpmon starts before loading kernel as vpmon itself loads the kernel...

I hope this is not the first time you are booting this vpar and AUTO file is updated using the following command:

mkboot -a â hpux /stand/vpmon -a" /dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ

(It's not possible to start vpmon and if it is not running that means system has not booted under a vpar)

Do check the AUTO file string before rebooting else system will boot normally. This can be checked using the following command:

lifcp /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ:AUTO -

where cXtYdZ is the root disk.
