HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide (includes A.05.07) (5900-1229, September 2010)

NOTE: If you are updating to vPars A.03.05, or configuring a mixed 11i v1/v2 vPars
environment, you must install iCAP version 8.03 (B.11.11.08.03.00) on each HP-UX 11i v1
virtual partition. This will also install the required versions of WBEM and NParProvider
and necessary patches.
Installing iCAP 8.03 onto an HP-UX 11i v1 system running versions of vPars prior to A.03.05
will exhibit an error message which can be ignored, and you can proceed with updating the
vPars software. After the vPars installation (which includes halting every virtual partition
and rebooting the nPartition to the new vPars A.04.05 Monitor), you must go to each HP-UX
11i v1 virtual partition and run the command swconfig -v B9073BA to complete the
iCAP installation.
10. Decide whether to perform the remaining updates in parallel or to stagger the updates.
Updating in parallel involves updating concurrently with the HP-UX 11i v2 and vPars
A.04.05 updates. A parallel update of the virtual partitions can reduce the total downtime
resulting from the updates.
Staggering updates involves waiting for the HP-UX 11i v2 and vPars A.04.05 updates to
complete before updating virtual partitions to vPars A.03.05. A staggered approach to
updating enables you to better monitor the update process from the last virtual partition
before it is updated.
