MON> vparload -all

When the virtual partitions are booted, they will continue and complete their update

processes. After this is completed, you can access the login prompt for each virtual partition.

11. Restore the virtual partition autoboot and autosearch settings to the original settings that

you previously recorded.

Use the vparmodify -p vpname -B setting command, where vpname is the virtual

partition name and setting is the autoboot or autosearch setting.

12. Verify the virtual partition configurations.

To verify the vPars versions, login to each virtual partition and use the vparstatus -P

command.

13. Verify the correct vPars Monitor has booted.

Use the vparstatus -m command to confirm the boot disk path of the vPars monitor.

Updating from vPars (A.02.xx or A.03.xx) to A.03.xx

To update from an earlier vPars A.02.xx or A.03.xx version to the latest vPars A.03.xx version,

perform the following steps.

NOTE: If updating to the vPars A.03.05 release, use the “Updating vPars A.03.xx to vPars

A.03.05” (page 103) procedure.

1. Save a copy of the vPars database in case you need to revert back to the earlier version of

vPars or you need to restore the database.

2. Shut down all the virtual partitions.

3. Reboot the server into standalone mode. This consists of the following:

1. At the MON> prompt, type reboot

2. If needed, interrupt the boot sequence at the BCH> prompt and boot /stand/vmunix

instead of /stand/vpmon. For example:

BCH> bo pri

interact with IPL? y

ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix

4. Install the new vPars bundle using swinstall. For the appropriate bundle name, see

“Bundle Names” (page 70).

5. Reboot the system:

# shutdown -r

6. Boot the vPars Monitor and the virtual partitions from the disk where you installed the

vPars bundle. For example, if we had installed the bundle to the disk at the primary path:

BCH> bo pri

interact with IPL? y

ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon -a

If you have configured your AUTO file in the LIF area to boot the Monitor and virtual

partitions automatically, then this step will be performed automatically. For more information,

see “Autoboot” (page 159).
