Mixed HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars Environments in vPars
A.05.xx
This section is included in Chapter 3 of the HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator’s Guide
document but is duplicated here so that users are aware of this when using a mixed HP-UX
11i v2/v3 vPars environment.
Beginning with vPars A.05.01, you can have a mixed HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars environment. A
mixed HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars environment allows you to have a vPars A.05.01 monitor and
database that supports both virtual partitions running vPars A.05.01 on HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31)
and virtual partitions running vPars A.04.02 or later on HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23). An example
mixed HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars environment looks like the following:
Note that mixed HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars does not refer to mixing hardware (PA and Integrity)
platforms. Additionally, virtual partitions running vPars A.03.xx on HP-UX 11iv1 (11.11) and
vPars A.04.01 on HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23) are not supported in a mixed HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars
environment.
NOTE Please read the following rules and the table below when running a mixed
HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars environment. Many of the features of vPars are
version-specific.
To switch to an environment of only virtual partitions running vPars A.04.xx on
HP-UX 11i v2, shut down the A.05.01 Monitor and boot up the A.04.xx Monitor.
