HP-UX Virtual Partitions Ordering and Configuration Guide (v09.06.16)

4.3.2 Supported Mass Storage and Networking Cards (Integrity)
Updating Firmware All firmware steps described below require the system to be booted into
nPars mode. For information on the modes for Integrity servers, see the HP-UX Virtual Partitions
Administrator’s Guide.
Using the Network Card Note that when using vparboot -I on an Integrity system, the
network card used to obtain the bootable kernel is the network card of the target virtual partition,
whereas on a PA-RISC system the network card used is the card of the source virtual partition.
Please check whether your card is supported for boot. For information on setting up a boot helper,
see the Ignite-UX Administration Guide (“Table of Supported Bootable Cards for Integrity Servers”
in Appendix C).
Transitioning from Cards on PA-RISC to Integrity Not all cards supported for boot on PA-RISC
are supported for boot on Integrity. You can check the following website for transitional
information: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11729_div/11729_div.HTML
