3. Using the Ignite-UX server, install the necessary bundles.
This includes HP-UX OE, any desired patches, the Quality Pack bundle, the vPars bundle, and any
desired vPars-related bundles onto the disk that will be the boot disk of the first virtual partition.
4. Use ioscan to verify the hardware addresses in your virtual partition plan. You can also save this
output since once within a vPars environment, ioscan will only show the hardware that can be seen
from the local partition.
# ioscan
5. Set the nPartition to boot into vPars mode. Determine ILM and CLM granule sizes appropriate for your
system.
# vparenv -m vPars
See “Configuring Granule Size” on page 211 for guidelines on setting ILM and CLM granularity.
6. Create the virtual partitions using the information you prepared in the virtual partition plan.
Example:
# 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 Find out the granule size as outlined in “Configuring Granule Size” on page 211 before
creating the first virtual partition. For example, the first vparcreate command which
creates the vPars database (/stand/vpmon) would be:
# vparcreate -p keira1 -g ILM:1024:y -g CLM:1024:y -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” on
page 249.
7. Reboot the system and from the EFI Boot Manager, run the EFI shell.
# shutdown -ry 0
8. From the EFI shell, boot the Monitor and the first virtual partition.
Shell> fs0:
fs0:\> hpux
HPUX> boot /stand/vpmon vparload -p keira1
9. From the console of the running virtual partition, 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:
keira1# export TERM=hpterm
