The virtual partition is in this run-state when the operating system is completely functional. A shutdown/reboot/reset operation has been initiated on this partition. This run-state is displayed while a shutdown/reboot of a virtual partition is being processed. This run-state is displayed while a reset of a virtual partition is being processed.

Table 8-1 Run-states of an inactive Virtual Partition
(continued)
Description
State
The virtual partition definition exists in the current partition specification and the nPartition
is booted in nPars mode.
DEFINED
The virtual partition definition defined in an alternate partition specification.
ALT_DEFINED
1
An inactive vPar can be in the DEACTIVATING, RESETTING or MCA RunStates, if it encounters an error or is
interrupted during the activation process.
Table 8-2 Run-states of an active Virtual Partition
Description
State
The virtual partition normally reaches this run-state from the ACTIVATING run-state when
the virtual partition is marked as active. This is a transitional run-state and normally reaches
EFI run-state.
FWBOOT
The virtual partition reaches this run-state after the firmware boot process launches the EFI
shell.
EFI
The virtual partition reaches this run-state after the operation system is launched. This is a
transitional run-state and normally reaches UP run-state.
OSBOOT
The virtual partition is in this run-state when the operating system is completely functional.
UP
A shutdown/reboot/reset operation has been initiated on this partition.
SHUT
This run-state is displayed while a shutdown/reboot of a virtual partition is being processed.
DEACTIVATING
This run-state is displayed while a reset of a virtual partition is being processed.
RESETTING
An MCA has occurred in the virtual partition and is being processed.
MCA
This run-state is displayed when an INIT of a virtual partition is being processed.
INIT
The virtual partition in an unknown (error) run-state.
UNKNOWN
