Updating to the Latest Version of vPars

To update from a previous version of vPars, perform the following:

1. Shut down all the virtual partitions.

2. Reboot the server into standalone mode. This consists of the

following:

a. At the MON> prompt, type reboot

b. If needed, interrupt the boot sequence at the BCH> and boot

/stand/vmunix instead of /stand/vpmon. For example:

BCH> bo pri

interact with IPL? y

ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix

3. Install the new vPars bundle using swinstall. For the appropriate

bundle name, see “Bundle Names” on page 80.

4. Reboot the hard partition:

# shutdown -r

5. Boot the vPars monitor and the virtual partitions from the disk

where you installed the vPars bundle. For example, if we had

installed the bundle to the disk at the primary path:

BCH> bo pri

interact with IPL? y

ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon -a

If you have conﬁgured your AUTO ﬁle in the LIF area to boot the

monitor and virtual partitions automatically, then this step will be

performed automatically. For more information, see “Autobooting the

Monitor and All Virtual Partitions” on page 127.
