17. Verify the correct vPars Monitor has been booted.
If you changed the nPartition’s PRI boot path, you can also verify that the vPars Monitor has
been booted from the correct boot disk:
azure3# vparstatus -m
Console path: No path as console is virtual
Monitor boot disk path: 0.0.6.0.0.5.0
Monitor boot filename: /stand/vpmon
Database filename: /stand/vpdb
...
The boot disk path shown is from a vPars A.04.05 virtual partition.
18. Restart gWLM if needed.
If you disabled (undeployed) gWLM earlier in the update process, you can restart it now.
gWLM is supported with restrictions in mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars environments. For details
on these gWLM restrictions, see “Features of Mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars Environments”
(page 57).
Following the mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars update process, update any applications as needed.
IMPORTANT: If you have installed iCAP version 8.03 during the update process, on each HP-UX
11i v1 virtual partition you must run the command swconfig -v B9073BA to complete the iCAP
installation.
Migrating from vPars A.03.xx to Mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2/v3 vPars
(A.03.05, A.04.02 or later, A.05.03)
This section provides an overview of the process for migrating from an existing vPars A.03.xx
environment to a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2/v3 vPars environment. A mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2/v3
vPars environment supports virtual partitions running vPars A.05.03 on HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31),
virtual partitions running vPars A.04.02 or later on HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23), and virtual partitions
running vPars A.03.05 on HP-UX 11i v1 (11.11).
For information on using a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2/v3 vPars environment, see “Mixed HP-UX 11i
v1/v2/v3 vPars Environments in vPars A.05.03” (page 62).
Two approaches are available for migrating to a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2/v3 vPars environment:
• A “cold migration” update process.
The cold migration process involves updates of vPars A.03.xx to vPars A.03.05, the installation
of a new HP-UX 11i v3 boot disk (with vPars A.05.03), and subsequent virtual partition updates
to vPars A.04.05 and/or A.05.03 as needed.
• A two-phased update, involving:
