10. The virtual partitions should now be running the latest vPars version. To verify this, you can
login to each virtual partition and use the vparstatus command with the -P option:
Example:
keira1# vparstatus -P

Monitor Version: A.05.01

NOTE: vPars A.04.xx uses only base memory; therefore, when updating to vPars A.05.xx
from A.04.xx, all memory will be converted as base memory. To convert the base memory to
float memory, see “Memory: Converting Base Memory to Float Memory” (page 179).
Updating from vPars A.03.xx to Mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars (A.03.05
and A.04.05) Environment
This section describes how to update an existing vPars A.03.xx environment to a mixed HP-UX 11i
v1/v2 vPars environment. A mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars environment contains both vPars
A.03.05/11.11 and A.04.05/11.23 virtual partitions in the same nPartition.
If you wish to upgrade to a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2/v3 vPars environment (vPars A.03.xx, vPars
A.04.xx, and vPars A.05.xx in the same nPartition), see “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)” (page 91).
CAUTION:
Designated-Admin Feature and Mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars Environments
In a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 environment, configure only virtual partitions containing vPars A.04.05
as designated-admin virtual partitions. Within a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars environment, only
the virtual partitions containing vPars A.04.05 can modify other virtual partitions via the
vparmodify command, and only virtual partitions containing vPars A.04.05 can use vparcreate
and vparremove to create and remove other virtual partitions. If you use the designated-admin
feature and configure only virtual partitions containing vPars A.03.05 as designated-admin virtual
partitions, no virtual partition will be able to modify other virtual partitions.
NOTE: In a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars environment, all HP-UX 11i v1 virtual partitions must
be updated to vPars A.03.05, and all HP-UX 11i v2 vPars must be updated to vPars A.04.05.
For information on the typical time needed to update the HP-UX version, see the HP-UX 11i v2
Installation and Update Guide.
For information on vPars and HP-UX versions, see the HP-UX Virtual Partitions Ordering and
Configuration Guide.
For information on using a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars environment, see “Mixed HP-UX 11i
v1/v2 vPars Environments in vPars A.04.05” (page 54).
