Setboot and System-wide Stable Storage

On a vPars system, the setboot command does not read from or write to system-wide stable storage. Instead, the setboot command reads from and writes to the vPars partition database, affecting only the entries of the virtual partition from which the setboot command was run.

For example, if you are logged into winona2 and execute the command:

this would set the autoboot attribute to AUTO for the virtual partition winona2.

The actions of setboot on a virtual partition are:

	NOTE: To modify stable storage, you must either: go into standalone/nPars mode and use setboot or parmodify within the vPars environment on PA-RISC nPartitionable servers, use parmodify (parmodify is not supported from within the vPars environment on Integrity servers go to the BCH for PA-RISC or EFI Shell for Integrity systems For more information on using the above firmware or HP-UX commands, see the document nPartition Administrator’s Guide, Managing Systems and Workgroups (11.11, 11.23) or HP-UX Systems Administrator’s Guide (11.31), available at http://docs.hp.com. The boot path setting for HAA (High-Availability Alternate) is not supported for vPars instances. For more information on HAA, see the nPartition Administrator’s Guide. See also “EFI and Integrity Notes” for information on EFI variables and booting.
