Installing and Managing HP-UX Virtual Partitions (A.02.01)

Planning Your Virtual Partitions and Installing vPars
Updating to the Latest Version of vPars
Chapter 492
6. On each virtual partition, repeat Step 3 to install the new vPars
bundle on each boot disk of each virtual partition (you do not need to
reboot the hard paritition). Because the boot disk used to boot in
standalone mode in Step 2 already has the new vPars bundle (this
was installed during Step 3), you can exclude this step for the boot
disk at the primary path.
You must install the new vPars bundle on each virtual partition
before putting the virtual partitions back into production. Running a
mix of older and newer vPars versions within a group of virtual
partitions is not supported.
NOTE 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.
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 95.
3. Install the full product. See “Installing vPars Using Ignite-UX” on
page 86 or “Installing vPars Using Software Distributor” on page 89.
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.
