vparconfig

vparconfig(1M)															    vparconfig(1M)

NAME

       vparconfig - specify the partition mode policy, partition CLM policy, and partition ILM policy for the next system boot

SYNOPSIS

       [mode]]

       memtype size

DESCRIPTION

       The  command  sets  the EFI variable that determines the partition mode on Itanium-based systems and then automatically reboots the system.
       The partition mode policy can be vPars or nPars.

       In addition, the command sets the partition ILM policy EFI variable (for InterLeaved Memory) and the partition CLM policy EFI variable (for
       Cell  Local Memory).  However, the reboot does not happen automatically.  The partition ILM policy or partition CLM policy change will only
       occur when you reboot the system using the command.

       The default behavior of the command specified without any options is to display the current settings of the partition mode policy, the par-
       tition ILM policy, and the partition CLM policy.

       This command is only available at the EFI shell if the vPars depot has been installed on the disk.

       This command is not supported on PA-RISC platforms.

   Options and Arguments
       recognizes the following command line options and arguments:
       Specifies the partition mode for the next system boot and then automatically reboots the system.  The valid values for mode are case-insen-
       sitive and The system reboots in the following ways:

	      o  If mode is then after reboot, the system will be in vPars mode.

		 vPars mode allows you to boot the vPars Monitor and virtual partitions in the next nPartition boot.

	      o  If mode is then after reboot, the system will be in nPars mode.

		 In nPars mode you cannot boot the vPars Monitor or virtual partitions.  However, you can boot HP-UX  as  a  standalone  operating
		 system.

	      o  If is specified with no arguments, then the system reboots with the existing mode.

       memtype size
	      Specifies  the  desired granularity of Cell Local Memory (CLM) or InterLeaved Memory (ILM) to be set in the appropriate EFI variable
	      for the next reboot.

	      memtype is either or

	      size specifies the desired granularity in megabytes corresponding to memtype.  Only a decimal value is allowed to specify the  gran-
	      ule size.

       Displays command line options and arguments.

EXAMPLES

       Reboot the system to mode.

       Reboot the system to mode.

       Set the ILM granularity to 128 MB.

       Set the CLM granularity to 128 MB.
