Booting vPars
Booting a vPar starts the hardware for the vPar. The vPar enters an On state (or is powered on).
The Boot and Reset functions are similar except in the following scenario:
The Boot function does not stop and restart a vPar that is already started. It leaves the boot up
machine as it is. Whereas, the Reset function stops and restarts the already running vPar.
HP recommends that you use the Reset function instead of the Boot function when you have several
vPars that you want to start newly, of which some of them are already started and some of them
are currently stopped. The Reset function takes into account all the vPars whether they are already
started or not.
If you want the stopped vPars started, you can use the Start function.
You can select multiple vPars and apply the required action.
To boot one or more vPars:
1. Click the Virtual Servers tab.
The vPars are listed in this tab.
2. Select one or more vPars by selecting the check box against each required vPars.
3. Select Tools
→Boot virtual partition... from the vPars menu bar.
The Boot virtual partition screen is displayed.

The Real Command area displays the vPar commands that are executed to boot the vPars.
4. Click OK to boot the selected vPars.
