HP Service Partition Is Not Created During Update
(Itanium-based Systems Only)
NOTE This section only applies to Itanium-based systems. For PA-RISC
systems proceed to “Security Considerations” on page 60.
The HP Service Partition (HPSP) is not created or modified when you
update from a supported update path. (See “Supported Update Paths to
HP-UX 11i v2” on page 47.) OnlineDiag will continue to work properly.
Offline Diagnostics, however, will work with reduced functionality
without the HP Service Partition.
To have full Offline Diagnostics functionality, do the following:
1. Update your system.
2. Back up your system with either make_net_recovery or
make_tape_recovery.
3. Reconfigure your boot disk partition layout to include the HP Service
Partition.
4. Restore your system with either make_net_recovery or
make_tape_recovery.
Consult the Ignite-UX Administration Guide for more details about
make_net_recovery and make_tape_recovery.
5. Update the Offline Diagnostics with the latest version of the HP
Itanium-Processor Family Offline Diagnostics and Utilities. See
“Offline Diagnostics” on page 69.
