v3) Considerations in vPars

vPars A.05.03 was released with HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31) and is designed to support a mixed HP-UX

11i v1/v2/v3 vPars environment. This mixed environment allows the user to boot a vPars A.05.03

monitor that supports virtual partitions running HP-UX 11iv1, HP-UX 11i v2, and HP-UX 11i v3 in the

same hard partition as shown below in Figure 1. Note that the virtual partitions running HP-UX 11i

v2 must have vPars A.04.02 or later installed, and that virtual partitions running HP-UX 11i v1 must

have vPars A.03.05 or later installed for it to operate in a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2/v3 vPars

environment. Since HP-UX 11iv1 is supported only on PA-RISC systems, support for mixed HP-UX 11i

v1/v2/v3 vPars environment is applicable for PA-RISC systems only. However, A.05.03 will support

a mixed 11i v2/v3 environment on Integrity servers.

Mixed HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars

vPars A.05.01 was released with HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31 LR) and is designed to support a mixed HP-UX

11i v2/v3 vPars environment. This mixed environment allows the user to boot a vPars A.05.01 or

later vPar monitor that supports virtual partitions running both HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX 11i v3

versions in the same hard partition as shown below in Figure 2. Note that the virtual partitions

running HP-UX 11i v2 must have vPars A.04.02 or later installed for it to operate in a mixed HP-UX

11i v2/v3 vPars environment.
