Installing vPars with Ignite-UX on Integrity

NOTE LAN Cards are Used for Boot During Installation on Integrity Systems

Unlike vPars on PA-RISC, vPars on Integrity uses the lan card of the target virtual partition

for lanboot. Please check that your lan card is supported for boot on 11.23 Integrity systems.

For more information, see the HP-UX Virtual Partitions Ordering and Conﬁguration Guide.

Also, the I/O card and diagnostic utilities, such as FCFUPDATE and IODIAG.efi, will not

operate in vPars mode; you must be in nPars mode. If you need to update ﬁrmware, it will be

easier if you do so before booting in vPars mode. For information on modes, see “Modes:

Switching between nPars and vPars Modes (Integrity only)” on page 123.

1. Prepare the nPartition for Installation of HP-UX by setting the nPartition’s acpiconfig setting to

default (for install of HP-UX) and verifying the hardware path of the ﬁrst virtual partition.

Example:

a. acpiconfig

Shell> acpiconfig

Acpiconfig settings: default

(Note: if you must change the acpiconﬁg setting from windows to default, you must ﬁrst enter the

acpiconﬁg default command, and then immediately enter reset to reboot using the new setting.)

b. hardware path

fs0: Acpi(000222F0,915)/Pci(0|0)/Scsi(Pun6,Lun0)/HD(Part1,SigF4250000)

2. From EFI, boot your system using the Ignite-UX server.

Example:

Shell> lanboot select

01 Acpi(000222F0,0)/Pci(1|0)/Mac(00306E0E5268)

Select Desired LAN: 1

Selected Acpi(000222F0,0)/Pci(1|0)/Mac(00306E0E5268)

NOTE lanboot information

Note that lanboot will show only the lan cards that are supported for boot with your

existing conﬁguration. If the card(s) you expect to see are not displayed, it may be

necessary to issue a reconnect -r at the EFI prompt. Then try lanboot select again.

Example:

Shell> reconnect -r

Shell> map -r
