HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.08) (5900-1312, March 2011)

CAUTION:
Mixing vPars versions within the same nPartition
Mixing different vPars versions within the same nPartition is only supported when using the following
vPars releases:
• vPars A.05.01 or later with vPars A.04.02 or later. See “Mixed HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars
Environments in vPars A.05.xx” (page 58).
• vPars A.04.05 or later with vPars A.03.05 or later. See “Mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars
Environments in vPars A.04.05” (page 56).
• vPars A.05.03 or later with vPars A.04.02 or later and vPars A.03.05 or later. See “Mixed
HP-UX 11i v1/v2/v3 vPars Environments in vPars A.05.03” (page 62).
Other than these supported mixed vPars releases, for vPars A.04.xx and A.03.xx, within a vPars
environment, all OSs and vPars version must be the same. In other words, vpar1, vpar2, ... vparN
must all be running the same OS and vPars software.
NOTE: For information on versions, including vPars version, OS versions, and other product
versions required to run with vPars, see the document HP-UX Virtual Partitions Ordering and
Configuration Guide available at:

Installing and Removing vPars-related Bundles
B6826AA (parmgr)
The Partition Manager (parmgr) is required for installation of the vPars A.03.xx and earlier. This
is true on both nPartitionable servers as well as non-nPartitionable servers (rp7400/N4000 and
rp5470/L3000). It is normal to have this product installed on non-nPartitionable servers.
The Partition Manager (PARMGR) is available at the HP Software Depot website:http://
www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot
To install the Partition Manager bundle using the vPars CD:
# swinstall -s /cdrom B6826AA
To remove the Partition Manager product:
# /usr/sbin/swremove PartitionManager
Note that the Partition Manager product can be removed only after the vPars product is removed
from a virtual partition.
VPARMGR
(vPars A.03.xx and earlier) The vPars GUI (vparmgr) is not automatically installed when vPars is
installed. If you wish to use vparmgr, you need to manually select this bundle during your Software
Distributor (SD) or Ignite-UX session or add this bundle to your swinstall command line.
