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

• If you are using a hardwired HP terminal or a LAN-based terminal emulator of type “hpterm”,
set the GSP terminal-type setting to hpterm.
• If you are using a LAN-based terminal emulator of type “dtterm” or “xterm”, set the GSP
terminal-type setting to vt100.
How to Set the GSP Terminal Type
1. Access the GSP through the lan console, the remote-modem port, or a physically connected
terminal.
2. Use the CA command at the GSP prompt to modify the console attributes:
GSP> ca
3. Answer “y” (yes) to indicate that you want to change the console port settings:
Do you want to modify the Local Console Serial Port settings? (Y/[N])
y
4. Answer “n” (no) to the questions about modifying the “Serial Port bit rate” and the “Current
Flow Control”
Current Local Console Serial Port bit rate: 9600 bits/s
Do you want to modify it? (Y/[N]) n
Current Flow Control: Software
Do you want to modify it? (Y/[N]) n
5. Indicate which terminal type you want to use, then answer “y” (yes) to confirm your change:
Enter Terminal Type ([Vt100] / Hpterm):
New Terminal Type: hpterm
Confirm? (Y/[N]): y
-> Terminal Type will be updated.
6. Answer n (no) to the question about updating the “Remote Console Serial Port Modem settings”:
Do you want to modify the Remote Console Serial Port Modem settings?
(Y/[N]) n
You will see a message indicating the command execution will take a few seconds and then a
message indicating that your settings have been updated.
The virtual partitions that you create will use this terminal-type setting for their virtual console
displays.
TIP: If you get a garbled display, you can press Ctrl-L to refresh the display.
Increase in Size of /stand File System
Due to the vPars files that will exist in /stand, you should increase your planned size of the /stand
file system by 100 MB. For example, if you originally had planned to create /stand with 1 GB
for your HP-UX instance, you should plan for 1.1 GB when that HP-UX instance resides in a virtual
partition.
VxFS (Veritas File System) (vPars A.03.xx)
To avoid hangs on VxFS file systems, install kernel patch PHKL_27121 or its successor on the
operating systems of each virtual partition. This patch is available from the IT Resource Center
website at http://itrc.hp.com.
SecurePath
Before installing the SecurePath product, install the vPars product and create and install all the
virtual partitions.
