Planning Your Virtual Partitions and Installing vPars

Chapter 464
Installing vPars Using Ignite/UX
NOTE Before installing vPars, read the section “Updating Your Ignite Server”
on page 62.
1. Boot your computer using the Ignite/UX server. If your Ignite server’s
IP address is 15.xx.yy.zz:
BCH> bo lan.15.xx.yy.zz install
Interact with IPL: n
2. Using the Ignite/UX server, install HP-UX, desired patches, the
Quality Pack bundle, and the vPars bundle onto the disk that will be
the boot disk of the first partition. (For more information on the
Quality Pack bundle, see “Quality Pack” on page 63.)
NOTE: So that the TERM variable will always be set correctly, you
should ensure that the first partition owns the hardware console port.
For more information, see “Ensuring the Hardware Console Port Is
Owned by the First Virtual Partition” on page 57.
3. Use ioscan to verify the hardware addresses in your partition plan.
# ioscan
4. Create the partitions using the information you prepared in the
partition plan.
For the example computer, the commands are:
# vparcreate -p winona1 -a cpu::2 -a cpu:::2 -a mem::640
-a io:0/0 -a io:0/4 -a io:0/0/2/0.6.0:BOOT
# vparcreate -p winona2 -a cpu::2 -a cpu:::2 -a cpu:41 -a
cpu:45 -a mem::1280 -a io:0/8 -a io:1/10 -a
io:0/8/0/0.5.0:BOOT
# vparcreate -p winona3 -a cpu::1 -a cpu:::1 -a mem::1280
-a io:0/5 -a io:1/4 -a io:1/4/0/0.5.0:BOOT
5. Reboot the computer.
# shutdown -r
