Change of vPars install path in Ignite-UX C.6.0
If you are using Ignite-UX C.6.0 or later, the vpar boot command used to install an HP-UX
11.11 virtual partition will change:
Before Ignite-UX C.6.0:
# vparboot p <partition_name> -I WINSTALL
Ignite-UX C.6.0:
# vparboot p <partition_name> -I /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.11/WINSTALL
Using Virtual Partitions
This chapter describes the usage of the virtual partition software and its commands. There is also
information on how to boot the monitor and the partition.
Booting the Monitor
The vPars monitor is /stand/vpmon. This file will be loaded before the HP-UX kernel is loaded.
On PA-RISC systems the monitor will be loaded at the ISL prompt:
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon a (loads all vPars with auto flag set)
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon vparload -p vpar1 (loads the vPars directly)
On Integrity systems the monitor is loaded through the EFI shell:
Shell> fs0:
Fs0:\> hpux
HPUX> boot /stand/vpmon vparload p vpar1
HPUX> boot /stand/vpmon vparload p vpar1 o “-is”
vPars mode is required on an Integrity system to load the monitor. See the section EFI
Commands (Integrity only)”.
With no arguments to /stand/vpmon, the monitor will load into interactive mode with the
following prompt:
MON>
The following options are available when booting the Monitor:
-a boots all virtual partitions that have the autoboot attribute set. For
more information, see vparmodify(1M).
