3. 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 onto the disk that will be the boot disk of the first virtual partition.
4. Use ioscan to verify the hardware addresses in your virtual partition plan. You can also save this
output since once within a vPars environment, ioscan will only show the hardware that can be seen
from the local partition.
# ioscan
5. Create the virtual partitions using the information you prepared in the virtual partition plan.
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
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:y -g CLM:1024:y -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: Granularity Concepts” on
page 249.
6. Set the nPartition to boot into vPars mode.
# vparenv -m vPars
7. Reboot the system and from the EFI Boot Manager, run the EFI shell.
# shutdown -ry 0
8. From the EFI shell, boot the Monitor and the first virtual partition.
Shell> fs0:
fs0:\> hpux
HPUX> boot /stand/vpmon vparload -p keira1
9. From the console of the running virtual partition, if the TERM environment variable is set to unknown,
change the TERM environment variable to hpterm. For example, in the POSIX shell the command is:
keira1# export TERM=hpterm
10. Continuing on the console of the running virtual partition (keira1), perform the following for each
remaining virtual partition:
a. boot the target virtual partition from the running virtual partition using vparboot.
The syntax is:
