In our example, the command is:
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon vparload -p winona1
8. From the console of the running partition (in this example, the
running partition is winona1), perform the following for each
remaining partition:
a. if the TERM environment variable is set to unknown, change the
TERM environment variable to hpterm. In the POSIX shell, the
command is:
# export TERM=hpterm
b. boot the target partition from the running partition using
vparboot.
The syntax is:
# vparboot -p <target_partition>
-I <IP_of_ignite_server>,/opt/ignite/boot/WINSTALL
For our example, if the target partition is winona2, we would
execute the following command from winona1:
# vparboot -p winona2
-I 15.xx.yy.zz,/opt/ignite/boot/WINSTALL
You will see messages similar to the following:

partition into the Ignite/UX interface and install HP-UX, desired
