- parconfig EFI shell command The parconfig command is a built-in EFI shell command. Refer to the help parconfig command for details. - \EFI\HPUX\vparconfig EFI shell command The vparconfig command is delivered in the \EFI\HPUX directory on the EFI system partition of the disk where HP-UX virtual partitions has been installed on a cell-based HP Integrity server. For usage details, enter the vparconfig command with no options. - vparenv HP-UX command On cell-based HP Integrity servers only, the vparenv HP-UX command is installed on HP-UX systems that have the HP-UX virtual partitions software. Refer to vparenv(1m) for details. NOTE: On HP Integrity servers, nPartitions that do not have the parconfig EFI shell command do not support virtual partitions and are effectively in nPars boot mode. HP recommends that you do not use the parconfig EFI shell command and instead use the \EFI\HPUX\vparconfig EFI shell command to manage the boot mode for nPartitions on cell-based HP Integrity servers. Refer to Installing and Managing HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars), Sixth Edition, for details. Tools for Booting nPartitions The tools for booting nPartitions and configuring related settings are: • Service Processor (MP or GSP) Menus Service processor menus provide a complex-wide service interface that can allow access to all hardware and nPartitions. See "Command Reference for Service Processor Commands" (page 80). • EFI Boot Manager and EFI Shell On HP Integrity servers only, the EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) Boot Manager and Shell are the methods for interacting with an nPartition before it has booted an operating system. See "Command Reference for EFI Shell Commands" (page 81). • Boot Console Handler (BCH) Menu Commands On PA-RISC servers, the BCH interface is the method for interacting with an nPartition before it has booted HP-UX. See "Command Reference for BCH Menu Commands" (page 84). • nPartition Commands HP nPartition commands allow you to configure, manage, and monitor nPartitions and hardware within a server complex. The Enhanced nPartition Commands also can remotely manage complexes based on the HP sx1000 chipset or HP sx2000 chipset. See "Commands for Configuring nPartitions" (page 19) for details. • Partition Manager (/opt/parmgr/bin/parmgr) Partition Manager provides a graphical interface for managing and monitoring nPartitions and hardware within a server complex. See "Partition Manager" (page 22). Tools for Booting nPartitions 95
