d. 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.
Your system should now be booted with all virtual partitions up.
Installing vPars with Software Distributor
1. For the root disk of each virtual partition, use Software Distributor to install HP-UX, desired
patches, the Quality Pack bundle, the vPars software bundle, and the desired vPars-related
bundles.
2. Boot the disk that is intended to be the boot disk of the first virtual partition into the normal
(non-vPars) HP-UX environment.
In our example, if the primary path is set to the boot disk of the first virtual partition keira1,
the command is:
• PA-RISC
BCH> bo pri
interact with IPL: n
NOTE: So that the TERM variable will always be set correctly, you should ensure that
the first virtual partition owns the hardware console port. For more information, see
“Assigning the Hardware Console LBA” (page 57).
• Integrity
Shell> fs0:
fs0:\> hpux
HPUX> boot vmunix
3. Use ioscan to verify the hardware addresses in your virtual partition plan:
# ioscan
4. Create the virtual partitions using the information you prepared in the virtual partition plan.
For 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
5. If you are on an Integrity system, set the mode to vPars; otherwise, you will not be able to
boot into the vPars environment:
# vparenv -m vPars
