3.8 Rebooting vpmon

     

We have seen in the previous section that we can shut down and restart vPars independent of each other. The shutdown and restarts are all occurring while vpmon is still loaded in memory, managing all existing vPars. There are times when we want to restart the vmpon itself. The main reason for restarting vpmon is to perform maintenance on the underlying server/nPar, e.g., you want to add additional hardware to an existing server/nPar. In such a situation, we will need to shut down all vPars to a down state ( shutdown “h now on all vPars). This will leave us interacting directly with vpmon ; at the MON> prompt on the console. From here we can reboot/halt vpmon itself.

A REBOOT will reboot vpmon . This would give us the opportunity to interact with the boot-up of the server/n-Par via the system console. At that time, we could interrupt the boot sequence in order to manage the server/n-Par (power-cycle the server or PE the necessary hardware components ) to implement the changes that required us to reboot vpmon . To restart an nPar, we will need to use the GSP BO command.
