HP-UX 11i Version 2 Installation and Update Guide, May 2005

Appendix A 139
A Creating an HP Service
Partition
Update-UX does not create or modify the HP Service Partition required
by some HP Offline Diagnostics tools. If you are updating from an
HP-UX 11i v1.6 (B.11.22) system to HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23), you need to
create the HP Service Partition.
What You Will Find in This Appendix

Before You Begin You need to ensure that you have a minimum of 1 GB of disk space that
you can allocate for use by the EFI Boot Disk Partition and the new HP
Service Partition prior to creating an HP service partition.
Make sure that you are familiar with the Ignite-UX make_tape_recovery
(1M) or make_net_recovery (1M) commands before you start. You can also
