Bundle Names
You can install vPars on an existing HP-UX installation directly from a depot, DVD, or by using
an Ignite-UX server.

Removing the vPars Product
To remove the vPars product, execute the swremove command from the target virtual partition.
For example, to remove the vPars product from the partition winona3:
winona3# /usr/sbin/swremove -x autoreboot=true VirtualPartition
The product will be removed, and the virtual partition will be shut down.
CAUTION: Remove the vPars product only at the product level (VirtualPartition). Do
NOT remove the vPars product at the bundle level (T1335DC). Recommended kernel patches
are included in the vPars bundle; if the bundle is removed, these kernel patches will also be
removed. For more information on bundles and patches, see the Patch Management Guide for
HP-UX 11.x at http://docs.hp.com.
