Installing HP-UX Virtual Partitions v6.0
vPars v6.0 is packaged in a software depot and installed in the VSP using the swinstall
command. The minimum OE version is HP-UX 11.31 September 2011 update (AR1109) for both
the VSP and vPars. After vPars are created using either the GUI or the CLI, the deployment of HP-UX
OEs can be performed by an Ignite-UX server using specific entries in the /etc/bootptab file
or using a Direct Boot Profile (dbprofile) entry in the EFI of the vPar.
To install HP-UX Virtual Partitions v6.0 software:
1. Install HP-UX 1109 (Base OE, VSE-OE, or DC-OE) and the required patches on the VSP. See
the vPars v6.0 release notes for the required patches. Go to the next step after HP-UX boots.
2. Install Virtual Partition Software products BB068AA and VirtualBase on the VSP.
