Sets the flexible administrative capability mode either
ON (enabled) or OFF (disabled).
ON and OFF are not case-sensitive.
The flexible administrative capability mode can be
set only at the vPars Monitor prompt (MON>).
By default, the mode is OFF.
When the mode is set to ON, the list of designated-admin virtual
partitions is empty, regardless of any previous settings. Therefore,
when the flexible administrative capability mode is set to ON, all
virtual partitions are non-designated-admin virtual partitions regardless
of whether it is running or not and regardless of its state during
the previous time the mode was set to ON. Because the designated-admin
virtual partition list is empty when the mode is set to ON, you will
need to add any virtual partitions you wish to be designated-admin
virtual partitions to the designated-admin virtual partition list
every time you set the mode to ON. You can add or delete virtual partitions
to or from the designated-admin virtual partition list from either
the vPars Monitor prompt using monadmin (MON> monadmin) or the HP-UX Shell prompt using vparadmin (# vparadmin). vparadmin is discussed in the next section.
This process allows you to change the mode at the MON> prompt
and maintain a deterministic setting for the virtual partition even
if virtual partitions are running.
When the mode is set to ON, monadmin will prompt for a new password.
(If the mode is already ON, you will receive a message stating that
you already having enabled the flexible administrative capability.)
When the mode is set to OFF, the above restrictions of the vPars
command execution are turned off. It may appear that all virtual partitions
are considered to be designated-admin virtual partitions. Once you
set the mode to OFF, the designated-admin virtual partition list is
deleted as well as the flexible administrative capability password.
