12. Verification of Virtual Partitions
The virtual partitions should now be running the latest vPars version. To verify this, you can login to each
virtual partition and use the vparstatus command with the -P option:
Example:
keira1# vparstatus -P
Current Virtual Partition Version: A.05.01
Monitor Version: A.05.01
[Virtual Partition OS Version]
Virtual Partition Name OS Version State
============================ ========== =====
keira1 B.11.31 Up
keira2 B.11.23 Up
keira2# vparstatus -P
Commands product information: A.04.03
Monitor product information: A.05.01
13. Verification of Correct vPars Monitor
If you changed the nPartition’s PRI boot path, you can also verify that the vPars monitor has been booted
from the correct boot disk:
keira3# vparstatus -m
Console path: No path as console is virtual
Monitor boot disk path: 0.0.6.0.0.5.0
Monitor boot filename: /stand/vpmon
Database filename: /stand/vpdb
...
The boot disk path shown is from a vPars A.05.01 virtual partition.
14. Converting Base Memory to Float Memory
vPars A.04.xx uses only base memory; therefore, when updating to vPars A.05.xx from A.04.xx, all
memory will be converted as base memory. There is no method to convert the memory to float during the
update process. For information base and float memory, see “Definitions for Dynamically Migrating ILM
or CLM Memory” on page 195.
To convert the base memory to float memory, see “Memory: Converting Base Memory to Float Memory”
on page 206.
