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

6. Reboot the system.
# /etc/shutdown -r
7. Boot the system to ISL or EFI shell and boot the Monitor and all the virtual partitions:
• PA-RISC
BCH> bo pri
interact with IPL: y
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon vparload -all
• Integrity
Shell> fs0:
fs0:\> hpux
HPUX> boot /stand/vpmon vparload -all
Your system should now be booted with all virtual partitions up.
Removing the vPars Product
From a Single Virtual Partition
To remove the vPars product, execute the swremove command from the target virtual partition.
For example, to remove the vPars product from the partition winona3:
winona3# /usr/sbin/swremove -x autoreboot=true VirtualPartition
The product will be removed, and the virtual partition will be shut down. Because the
vPars-specific kernel modifications have been removed, the OS instance cannot be booted again
as a virtual partition. However, the OS instance can be booted into standalone mode.
If you are at the console of winona3, use Ctrl-A to toggle to another virtual partition.
CAUTION: Remove the vPars product only at the product level (VirtualPartition). Do
NOT remove the vPars product at the bundle level (T1335AC or VPARSBASE). Recommended
kernel patches are included in the vPars bundle; if the bundle is removed, these kernel patches
will also be removed. For more information on bundles and patches, see the Patch Management
Guide for HP-UX 11.x at http://docs.hp.com.
NOTE: When the vPars product is removed, the contents of the AUTO file in the LIF area will
be set to the default hpux (where /stand/vmunix is the default argument). This is true even
if you have previously modified the AUTO file to contain hpux /stand/vpmon. This replacement
occurs on the boot devices associated with the target virtual partition, including the devices listed
in /stand/bootconf and the primary and alternate paths of the target virtual partition. See
bootconf(4) for more information on the file /stand/bootconf.
From the Entire System
1. Remove the vPars product from each virtual partition one by one.
2. After you have removed vPars from the last virtual partition, you will be at the Monitor
prompt. At this point, you can type REBOOT to reboot the system.
MON> reboot
NOTE: On Integrity systems, you will also need to change the mode from vPars to nPars in
order to be able to boot in nPars (standalone) mode.
To uninstall VPARMGR or other vPars-related bundles, see “Installing and Removing
vPars-related Bundles ” (page 72).
