Installing vPars Using Ignite-UX
NOTE Before installing vPars, read the section “Setting Up the Ignite-UX
Server” on page 78 and “Updating the Ignite-UX Server” on page 79.
1. Boot your hard partition 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” on page 73.
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 the example hard partition, the commands are:
# vparcreate -p winona1 -a cpu::2 -a cpu:::2 -a mem::640
-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
5. Reboot the hard partition.
# shutdown -r
