Booting Summary
Because only the vPars A.05.xx Monitor supports a mixed HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars environment,
and because only HP-UX 11.31 supports HT ON/OFF, the following is true when booting a mixed
HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars environment:

Determining the Version in a Mixed HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars Environment
In addition to using the normal HP-UX commands to determine the OS version of a specific OS
instance, you can use vparstatus -P to determine the vPars version of a specific virtual partition
as well as the vPars version of the vPars Monitor which is booted. You cannot determine the OS
or vPars version from the summary output of vparstatus. The -P option must be used.
• vparstatus output from a virtual partition running vPars A.05.01 in a mixed HP-UX 11i
v2/v3 vPars environment:
keira1# vparstatus -P
Current Virtual Partition Version: A.05.01
