Updates Involving VPARSBASE
VPARSBASE (the free demo product for HP-UX 11i v1) is no longer available or supported.
You can update directly only from free product to newer free product or from purchased product to newer
purchased product. You cannot update directly from free product to the purchased product.
If you wish to update from the free product to the purchased product, first you need to remove the free
product VPARSBASE, and then install the purchased product T1335AC for HP-UX 11i v1.
To avoid having to recreate your vPars configuration, you can perform the following steps:
1. Backup the file /stand/vpdb (this file is the vPars partition database)
2. Remove the free product from all virtual partitions. See “Removing the vPars Product” on page 118.
3. Install the full product. See “Installing vPars with Ignite-UX on PA-RISC” on page 111 or “Installing
vPars with Software Distributor” on page 116.
However, while in standalone mode, at the point where you would normally create the virtual partitions
using vparcreate, restore /stand/vpdb.
Then continue with the installation as you normally would.
