vPars Checklist
This section is a brief checklist of common but significant items that you should check while
performing your vPars setup.
Firmware Checklist
✓ Check Server Firmware:
Please check the HP-UX Virtual Partitions Ordering and Configuration Guide for the
required server firmware.
For the non-nPartitionable systems, please note that firmware upgrades must be done
outside of the vPars environment (in standalone mode).
For nPartitionable systems, please call your HP Support Representative.
✓ Networking and IO Card Firmware:
Please check the HP-UX Virtual Partitions Ordering and Configuration Guide for the
required card firmware.
You should also check the firmware on new cards because it is possible they have not been
updated with the firmware required for vPars.
Virtual Partition Checklist
Each virtual partition requires a minimum of
✓ at least one CPU
✓ its own boot disk
✓ enough memory for the operating system and its applications
✓ a network card if you wish to have networking available for the virtual partition.
