Managing: Modifying Attributes of a Virtual Partition

You can change a virtual partition’s name and its resource attributes via the vparmodify command. When using vparmodify to change attributes, the partition can be running, and the changes take effect immediately. See the manpage vparmodify(1M) for more information on the attributes.

For information on modifying resources, see “CPU, Memory, and I/O Resources (A.04.xx)”.

Examples

To rename the virtual partition uma1 to winona1:
# vparmodify -p uma1 -P winona1
To set the autoboot attribute to manual for partition winona1 (manual turns autoboot off. By default, the attribute is auto, which turns autoboot on):
# vparmodify -p winona1 -B manual
To set the autosearch attribute to search for partition winona1:
# vparmodify -p winona1 -B search
To set the static attribute for partition winona1 (static disables modification of a partition’s resources. By default, the attribute is dynamic):
# vparmodify -p winona1 -S static
To set the default kernel path to /stand/vmunix.new for the virtual partition winona1:
# vparmodify -p winona1 -b /stand/vmunix.new
(vPars A.04.01) For 11i v2 (11.23) systems, alternate kernels are in the directory /stand/alternate_config/.
