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

NOTE: In a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2/v3 vPars environment, all HP-UX 11i v1 vPars must be
updated to vPars A.03.05. However, before vPars A.03.05 is installed, you must install iCAP
version 8.03 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, you must go to each HP-UX 11i v1 virtual partition
and run the command swconfig -v B9073BA to complete the iCAP installation.
CAUTION:
Designated-Admin Feature and Mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2/v3 vPars Environments In a mixed
HP-UX 11i v1/v2/v3 vPars environment, configure only virtual partitions containing vPars A.05.03
as designated-admin virtual partitions. Within a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2/v3 vPars environment,
only the HP-UX 11i v3 virtual partitions (containing vPars A.05.03) can modify other virtual
partitions via the vparmodify command, and only HP-UX 11i v3 virtual partitions can use
vparcreate and vparremove to create and remove other virtual partitions. If you use the
designated-admin feature and configure only HP-UX 11i v1 and/or 11i v2 virtual partitions as
designated-admin virtual partitions, no virtual partition will be able to modify other virtual
partitions.
