vPars Monitor: Booting the vPars Monitor

To boot the vPars Monitor, from ISL or EFI, specify /stand/vpmon:

Integrity:

Shell> fs0:
fs0:\> hpux
HPUX> boot vpmon




	NOTE: You must be in `vPars` mode to boot the vPars Monitor. See “Modes: Switching between `nPars` and `vPars` Modes (Integrity Only)”. Also, backspace is sometimes not parsed correctly; if the command fails, try again without backspacing.

With no arguments to vpmon, the vPars Monitor will load and go into interactive mode with the following prompt:

MON>

The following options are available when booting the vPars Monitor:

`-a`	boots all virtual partitions that have the autoboot attribute set. For more information, see vparmodify(1M).
`-D database_filename`	boots the virtual partitions using an alternate partition database file. For more information, see “Using an Alternate Partition Database File ”. The default partition database file is `/stand/vpdb`.

For more information on the vPars boot sequence, see “Boot Sequence”.
