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

NOTE: lanboot information
Note that lanboot will show only the LAN cards that are supported for boot with your
existing configuration. If the card(s) you expect to see are not displayed, it may be necessary
to issue a reconnect -r at the EFI prompt. Then try lanboot select again.
Example:
Shell> reconnect -r
Shell> map -r
3. Using the Ignite-UX server, install the necessary bundles. This includes HP-UX OE, any
desired patches, the Quality Pack bundle, the vPars bundle, and any desired vPars-related
bundles onto the disk that will be the boot disk of the first virtual partition.
4. Use ioscan to verify the hardware addresses in your virtual partition plan. You can also save
this output since once within a vPars environment, ioscan will only show the hardware that
can be seen from the local partition. # ioscan
5. Create the virtual partitions using the information you prepared in the virtual partition
plan. Example:
# vparcreate -p keira1 -a cpu::2 -a mem::1024 -a io:0.0.1 -a io:1.0.0 -a io:1/0/0/3/0.6.0:BOOT
# vparcreate -p keira2 -a cpu::1 -a cell:1:cpu::1 -a mem::1024 -a io:1.0.1 -a io:1.0.4 -a
io:1/0/4/1/0/4/0.1.0.0.0.0.1:BOOT
# vparcreate -p keira3 -a cpu::1 -a mem::1024 -a io:0.0.2 -a io:0.0.0 -a io:0/0/0/3/0.6.0:BOOT
NOTE: If you need to set your ILM or CLM granularity to values different from the defaults,
you must do this using the first vparcreate command. For example, the first vparcreate
command which creates the vPars database (/stand/vpmon) would be:
# vparcreate -p keira1 -g ILM:1024:y -g CLM:1024:y -a cpu::2 -a mem::1024 -a io:0.0.1 -a io:1.0.0 -a
io:1/0/0/3/0.6.0:BOOT
For more information on granularity values, see “Memory: Granularity Concepts” (page 218).
6. Set the nPartition to boot into vPars mode. # vparenv -m vPars
7. Reboot the system and from the EFI Boot Manager, run the EFI shell. # shutdown -ry
0
8. From the EFI shell, boot the Monitor and the first virtual partition.
Shell> fs0:
fs0:\> hpux
HPUX> boot /stand/vpmon vparload -p keira1
9. From the console of the running virtual partition, if the TERM environment variable is set to
unknown, change the TERM environment variable to hpterm. For example, in the POSIX shell
the command is: keira1# export TERM=hpterm
10. Continuing on the console of the running virtual partition (keira1), perform the following for
each remaining virtual partition:
a. boot the target virtual partition from the running virtual partition using vparboot. The
syntax is:
# vparboot -p <target_partition> -I
For our example, if the target partition is keira2, execute the following command from
keira1:
# vparboot -p keira2 -I
You will see messages similar to the following:
