HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.09) (5900-2188, March 2012)

c. Verify the new PRI path using parstatus. If you are using the 11.31 vPars, that is,
A.05.08, instead of using the parmodify or the parstatus command, use the vPars
monitor command mon_bootpath to change and verify the nPartition's boot path.
keira# parstatus -p0 -V
[Partition]
Partition Number : 0
Partition Name : npar0
Status : active
IP address : 0.0.0.0
PrimaryBoot Path : 0/0/6/0/0.5.0
...
d. Once the PRI path has been successfully changed, set the mode to back to vPars.
• On Integrity:
keira# vparenv -m vPars
• On PA-RISC, no mode setting is required.
e. Reboot the nPartition.
keira# shutdown -ry 0
9. If needed (depending upon how your nPartition’s autoboot configuration is set up), interrupt
the nPartition boot process and load the vPars Monitor.
Example for PA-RISC:
BCH> bo pri
interact with IPL: y
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon
Example for Integrity:
Shell> fs0:
fs0:\> hpux
HPUX> boot vpmon
10. Boot the virtual partitions.
Example:
MON> vparload -all
When the virtual partitions are booted, they will continue and complete their update processes
(the virtual partitions can be booed in any order). After this is completed, you should arrive
at the login: prompt for each virtual partition. Login as root and continue to the next step.
11. Turn autoboot and autosearch settings back to their original settings that you recorded earlier
above.
Example:
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira1 -B auto
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira1 -B nosearch
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira2 -B manual
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira2 -B nosearch
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira3 -B auto
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira3 -B nosearch
12. Verify the Virtual Partitions.
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
Current Virtual Partition Version: A.05.01
Monitor Version: A.05.01
