You will see a message indicating the command execution will take a few seconds and then a message
indicating that your settings have been updated.
The virtual partitions that you create will use this terminal-type setting for their virtual console displays.
TIP If you get a garbled display, you can press Ctrl-L to refresh the display.
Increase in Size of /stand File System
Due to the vPars files that will exist in /stand, you should increase your planned size of the /stand file
system by 100 MB. For example, if you originally had planned to create /stand with 1 GB for your HP-UX
instance, you should plan for 1.1 GB when that HP-UX instance resides in a virtual partition.
VxFS (Veritas File System) (vPars A.03.xx)
To avoid hangs on VxFS file systems, please install kernel patch PHKL_27121 or its successor on the
operating systems of each virtual partition. This patch is available from the IT Resource Center web site at
http://itrc.hp.com.
SecurePath
Before installing the SecurePath product, install the vPars product and create and install all the virtual
partitions.
NOTE The SecurePath product is not supported on HP-UX 11i v3 (11.31). Use the native multipathing
available with the HP-UX 11i v3 mass storage stack, as described in the white paper The Next
Generation Mass Storage Stack. This paper can be found in the Network and Systems
Management section of http://docs.hp.com, under Storage Area Management.
