How to revert the VPAR configurations to use the default /stand/vpdb for a VPAR environment PA-RISC and Integrity machines running HP-UX

Note: These apply to VPARs versions 4.x/5.x . For the latest in case of any differences refer to the latest documents on the VPARs




If we want to revert to the OLD VPDB, then we need to shutdown all the current VPARs and give a reboot at the MON prompt. Interrupt the boot in BCH/EFI and give the command to boot the VPMON with no arguments, which shall boot the default /stand/vpdb.

BCH:
ISL> boot /stand/vpmon –a

EFI SHELL:
SHELL>fs0:
Fs0:>boot /stand/vpmon –a
