Installing vPars Using Ignite-UX (PA-RISC)

1. Boot your system using the Ignite-UX server. If your Ignite server’s IP address is 15.xx.yy.zz:

BCH> bo lan.15.xx.yy.zz install

Interact with IPL: n

2. Using the Ignite-UX server, install HP-UX, desired patches, the Quality Pack bundle, the vPars bundle,

and the desired vPars-related bundles onto the disk that will be the boot disk of the first virtual

partition.

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 “Ensuring the Hardware Console

Port Is Owned by the First Virtual Partition (PA-RISC)” on page 57.

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, the non-nPartitionable system running A.03:

# vparcreate -p winona1 -a cpu::2 -a cpu:::2 -a mem::1024 -a io:0.0 -a io:0.4 -a

io:0/0/2/0.6.0:BOOT

# vparcreate -p winona2 -a cpu::2 -a cpu:::2 -a cpu:41 -a cpu:45 -a mem::1280 -a io:0.8

-a io:1.10 -a io:0/8/0/0.5.0:BOOT

# vparcreate -p winona3 -a cpu::1 -a cpu:::1 -a mem::1280 -a io:0.5 -a io:1.4 -a

io:1/4/0/0.5.0:BOOT

Or for the nPartitionable system running A.04:

# 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 -g CLM:1024 -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: Setting Granularity Values

(vPars A.04)” on page 167.

5. Reboot the system.

# shutdown -r
