HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator's Guide (includes A.03.05 and A.04.05)

on Integrity: keira# vparenv -m vPars•
• on PA, no mode setting is required.
e. Reboot the nPartition:
keira# shutdown -ry 0
9. If needed (depending upon how your nPartition’s autoboot configuration is set up), interrupt
the nPartition boot process and load the vPars Monitor. Example for PA-RISC:
BCH> bo pri
interact with IPL: y
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon
Example for Integrity:
Shell> fs0:
fs0:\> hpux
HPUX> boot vpmon
10. Boot the virtual partitions. Example:
MON> vparload -all
When the virtual partitions are booted, they will continue and complete their update processes
(the virtual partitions can be booed in any order). After this is completed, you should arrive
at the login: prompt for each virtual partition. Login as root and continue to the next step.
11. Turn autoboot and autosearch settings back to their original settings that you recorded earlier
above. Example:
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira1 -B auto
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira1 -B nosearch
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira2 -B manual
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira2 -B nosearch
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira3 -B auto
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira3 -B nosearch
12. Verification of Virtual Partitions The virtual partitions should now be running the latest
vPars version. To verify this, you can login to each virtual partition and use the vparstatus
command with the -P option:
Example:
keira1# vparstatus -PCurrent Virtual Partition Version: A.05.01
Monitor Version: A.05.01
[Virtual Partition OS Version]
Virtual Partition Name OS Version State
============================ ========== =====
keira1 B.11.31 Up
keira2 B.11.23 Up
keira2# vparstatus -P
Commands product information: A.04.03
Monitor product information: A.05.01
13. Verification of Correct vPars Monitor If you changed the nPartition’s PRI boot path, you
can also verify that the vPars monitor has been booted from the correct boot disk:
keira3# vparstatus -m
Console path: No path as console is virtual
Monitor boot disk path: 0.0.6.0.0.5.0
Monitor boot filename: /stand/vpmon
Database filename: /stand/vpdb
...
The boot disk path shown is from a vPars A.05.01 virtual partition.
14. Converting Base Memory to Float Memory vPars A.04.xx uses only base memory; therefore,
when updating to vPars A.05.xx from A.04.xx, all memory will be converted as base memory.
