As a part of testing, I need to shutdown a vPar in an uncontrolled way.
I understand hpvmstop shuts down the vm guest in an uncontrolled way.
For vpar, what is the command. Is it #vparreset -p <vparname> ?
Also, I think I need to consider that this vpar which should be shutdown in uncontrolled way should NOT be a base vpar in that npar.
Please suggest.
There are total six vPars in this nPar
model:ia64 hp superdome server SD32B

Hi.. Yes, uncontrolled means ungraceful.....or reset etc. I need to shutdown the vpar in this way... this is as a part of testing as I said earlier....
How do I know that a particular vpar is a base vpar or not?
On Superdome, when there is a pending Reboot for Reconfiguration, the target virtual partition will not be rebooted until all the virtual partitions within the nPartition are shut down and the virtual partition Monitor is rebooted.

so you wanna do ungraceful shutdown. then vparreset will definitely work for you. you can use as
vparreset -p <vparname> -h
-h for hard reset or -t for soft reset.
2) **********what does this mean

This means that some change is pending to be implemented to SCCD of the npar. So, it need a reboot of the npar to implement that change, which requires all Vpar in that npar to be down.
There is no 'base vPar' on the nPar. All vPars are equal.
A chunk of software called vpmon runs directly on the nPar and that hosts all the vPars equally. You can kill any or all vPars you wish and vpmon keeps running.
