HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.09) (5900-2188, March 2012)

vPars Database Changes
As part of the upgrade process, HP qualified service personnel will need to make updates to each
virtual partition’s vPars database (vpdb) in nPars mode following the server hardware changes.
These and other necessary steps are described in the HP I/O Hardware Upgrade Scripts Guide
for HP Integrity Superdome/sx2000 Servers and HP-UX Impacts on the Upgrade Process for the
rx8620 to rx8640 Hardware Upgrade service documents.
Hardware Path Tables
The tables below show the new hardware paths. For details on the new hardware paths and other
hardware information, see the applicable hardware upgrade manuals for your server.
