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 89.

3. Install the full product. See “Installing vPars Using Ignite-UX (PA-RISC)” on page 74 or “Installing vPars

Using Software Distributor (PA-RISC or Integrity)” on page 79.

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.
