6. Interrupt the boot process as your system comes back up to reach the ISL prompt.

7. At the ISL prompt, boot the Monitor and the first virtual partition.

Example:

ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon vparload -p winona1

8. From the console of the running virtual partition (in this example, the running virtual partition is

winona1), 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:

# export TERM=hpterm

9. Continuing on the console of the running virtual partition (winona1), perform the following for each

remaining virtual partition:

a. boot the target virtual partition from the running virtual partition using vparboot.

The syntax is:

# vparboot -p <target_partition> -I <ignite_server>,<WINSTALL_path>

For our example, if the target partition is winona2, we would execute the following command from

winona1:

# vparboot -p winona2 -I ww.xx.yy.zz,/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.11/WINSTALL

You will see a message similar to the following:

<MON> winona2 loaded

b. press Ctrl-A until you see the console of the target partition. The console will display the Ignite-UX

installation interface.

c. enter the boot disk path, lan info, hostname, and IP of the target partition into the Ignite-UX

interface and install HP-UX, desired patches, the Quality Pack bundle, the vPars bundle, and the

desired vPars-related bundles. As a result of this process, the virtual partition will automatically

reboot.

TIP If you get a garbled display, you can press Ctrl-L to refresh the display.

Your system should now be booted with all virtual partitions up.
