5. Reboot the system:
# shutdown -r
6. Boot the vPars Monitor and the virtual partitions from the disk where you installed the vPars
bundle. For example, if we had installed the bundle to the disk at the primary path:
BCH> bo pri
interact with IPL? y
.
.
.
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon -a
If you have configured your AUTO file in the LIF area to boot the vPars Monitor and virtual
partitions automatically, then this step will be performed automatically. For more information,
see “Autoboot” (page 155).
7. On each virtual partition, repeat Step 4 to install the new vPars bundle on each boot disk of
each virtual partition (you do not need to reboot the hard partition). Because the boot disk
used to boot in standalone mode in Step 3 already has the new vPars bundle (this was installed
during Step 4), you can exclude this step for the boot disk at the primary path.
You must install the new vPars bundle on each virtual partition before putting the virtual
partitions back into production. Running a mix of older and newer vPars versions within a
group of virtual partitions is not supported.
Applying a vPars Sub-System Patch
The vPars sub-system patch includes the vPars Monitor, commands, and daemons. To apply a vPars
patch to an existing version, perform the following:
1. Shut down all the virtual partitions.
2. Reboot the server into standalone mode. This consists of the following:
a. At the MON> prompt, type reboot
b. If needed, interrupt the boot sequence at the BCH> and boot /stand/vmunix instead
of /stand/vpmon. For example:
BCH> bo pri
interact with IPL? y
.
.
.
ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix
3. Install the vPars sub-system patch using swinstall.
4. Reboot the system:
# shutdown -r
5. Boot the vPars Monitor and the virtual partitions from the disk where you installed the vPars
sub-system patch. For example, if we had installed the patch to the disk at the primary path:
BCH> bo pri
interact with IPL? y
.
.
.
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon -a
