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

NOTE: So that the TERM variable will always be set correctly, you should ensure that the
first virtual partition owns the hardware console port. For more information, see “Assigning
the Hardware Console LBA” (page 54).
3. Use ioscan to verify the hardware addresses in your virtual partition plan.
# ioscan
4. Create the virtual partitions using the information you prepared in the virtual partition plan.
For example, the non-nPartitionable system running A.03.xx:
# vparcreate -p winona1 -a cpu::2 -a cpu:::2 -a mem::1024 -a io:0.0 -a io:0.4 -a io:0/0/2/0.6.0:BOOT
# vparcreate -p winona2 -a cpu::2 -a cpu:::2 -a cpu:41 -a cpu:45 -a mem::1280 -a io:0.8 -a io:1.10 -a
io:0/8/0/0.5.0:BOOT
# vparcreate -p winona3 -a cpu::1 -a cpu:::1 -a mem::1280 -a io:0.5 -a io:1.4 -a io:1/4/0/0.5.0:BOOT
Or for the nPartitionable system running A.04.xx:
# vparcreate -p keira1 -a cpu::2 -a mem::1024 -a io:0.0.1 -a io:1.0.0 -a io:1/0/0/3/0.6.0:BOOT
# vparcreate -p keira2 -a cpu::1 -a cell:1:cpu::1 -a mem::1024 -a io:1.0.1 -a io:1.0.4 -a
io:1/0/4/1/0/4/0.1.0.0.0.0.1:BOOT
# vparcreate -p keira3 -a cpu::1 -a mem::1024 -a io:0.0.2 -a io:0.0.0 -a io:0/0/0/3/0.6.0:BOOT
NOTE: If you need to set your ILM or CLM granularity to values different from the defaults,
you must do this using the first vparcreate command. For example, the first vparcreate
command which creates the vPars database (/stand/vpmon) would be:
# vparcreate -p keira1 -g ILM:1024 -g CLM:1024 -a cpu::2 -a mem::1024
-a io:0.0.1 -a io:1.0.0 -a io:1/0/0/3/0.6.0:BOOT
For more information on granularity values, see “Memory: Granularity Concepts” (page 211).
5. Reboot the system.
# shutdown -r
6. Interrupt the boot process as your system comes back up to reach the ISL prompt.
BCH> bo pri
interact with IPL: y
7. At the ISL prompt, boot the vPars Monitor and the first virtual partition.
Example:
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon vparload -p winona1
8. From the console of the running virtual partition (in this example, the running virtual partition
is winona1), if the TERM environment variable is set to unknown, change the TERM environment
variable to hpterm.
For example, in the POSIX shell the command is:
# export TERM=hpterm
9. Continuing on the console of the running virtual partition (winona1), perform the following for
each remaining virtual partition.
a. Boot the target virtual partition from the running virtual partition using vparboot.
The syntax is:
# vparboot -p target_partition -I ignite_server,WINSTALL_path
For our example, if the target partition is winona2, we would execute the following
command from winona1:
# vparboot -p winona2 -I ww.xx.yy.zz,/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.11/WINSTALL
You will see a message similar to the following:
