Ignite-UX Version considerations
vPars A.05.xx: See the Ignite-UX product documentation for the Ignite-UX version required for
HP-UX 11i v3; vPars itself has no special requirements. At this time, HP-UX 11i v3 requires
Ignite-UX version C.7.1.x or later.
vPars A.04.xx: Ignite-UX version C.6.2.241 or later is required.
Note: Please do not use Ignite-UX version C.6.3.xx. For the latest version of Ignite-UX, see
Ignite-UX at the Software Depot website at http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot.
Note: Ignite-UX C.6.8 or later will not work with vPars A.04.01 on PA-RISC systems. Either
use an Ignite version earlier than C.6.8 and later than C.6.2.241 or upgrade to vPars A.04.02.
vPars A.03.xx: Ignite-UX version B.3.7 or later is required. Starting with Ignite-UX C.6.xx the
path for the bootable kernel is /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.xx/WINSTALL instead of
/opt/ignite/boot/WINSTALL as in the B.05.xx version of Ignite-UX.
#vparboot –I results in an Ignite-UX install being initiated, when installing the vPar from the
Ignite-UX server. The form and behavior is different on PA-RISC and Integrity systems.
Installation

kernel. The path to the install kernel varies from Ignite-UX release to release. The vPar that
