HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator's Guide (includes A.03.05 and A.04.05)

keira1 # vparmodify -p keira2 -B nosearch
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira3 -B manual
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira3 -B nosearch
Note that the -B nosearch option is valid for only vPars A.03.02 and later. If you are using
an earlier version of vPars, you can skip thevparmodify ... -B nosearch command.
4. Install the latest Update-UX bundle onto each virtual partition (use Ctrl-A to switch between
consoles). Note that this does not update the operating system, only the Update-UX
bundle. Example:
keira1 # swinstall -s depot1:/release/0505.1123/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD Update-UX
keira2 # swinstall -s depot1:/release/0505.1123/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD Update-UX
keira3 # swinstall -s depot1:/release/0505.1123/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD Update-UX
5. For each virtual partition, except the first virtual partition, use Update-UX to install the latest
OE and vPars bundle. These updates can occur in parallel, although this is not required. The
first virtual partition is defined as the virtual partition that owns the boot disk from which
the Monitor was booted; you can use the vparstatus -m and vparstatus -v commands to
determine which virtual partition this is. Although you can update all the virtual partitions,
including the first virtual partition, in parallel, by leaving the first virtual partition up until
all the updates for the other virtual partitions are complete, it allows you to use the first
virtual partition to verify the processing and status of the other virtual partitions.
Example:
keira2 # update-ux -s depot1:/release/0505.1123/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD HPUX11i-OE-Ent T1335BC
keira3 # update-ux -s depot1:/release/0505.1123/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD HPUX11i-OE-Ent T1335BC
Bundle Names
• For HP-UX 11i v2, the possible OE bundles are listed below.
HPUX11i-OE Foundation OE
HPUX11i-OE-Ent Enterprise OE
HPUX11i-OE-MC Mission Critical OE
You should chose the same OE that your current virtual partition is running. Use the
swinstall command to check which OE you are currently running:
# swlist -l bundle | grep -i OE
HPUX11i-OE-Ent B.11.23.0505 HP-UX Enterprise Operating Environment
• T1335BC is the vPars A.04.xx bundle.
NOTE: Be sure that both the OE and vPars bundles are specified on the update-ux command
line.
6. After the all updates for the above virtual partitions have completed, use Update-UX to install
the latest OE and vPars bundle to the first virtual partition. Example:
keira1 # update-ux -s depot1:/release/0505.1123/HPUX11i-OE-Ent.DVD HPUX11i-OE-Ent T1335BC
Although you can do all the updates in parallel, you need to make sure that all of the other
virtual partition updates have successfully performed the updating to the point of halting
for reboot. In the next step, the entire nPartition will be rebooted; if the other virtual partitions
are still in progress of updating, the OS instances may be in an unknown state.
