Installing and Managing HP-UX Virtual Partitions (includes A.04.02)

Installing, Updating, or Removing vPars and Upgrading Servers with vPars

Updating from vPars A.04.xx to A.04.xx

Chapter 4

Step 5. On all the virtual partitions, swinstall the latest vPars bundle on each virtual partition.

Example:

keiraN# /usr/sbin/swinstall -x autoreboot=true depot1:/vpars/a.04.02 T1335BC

NOTE: if you are using alternate boot disks, you will need to boot the alternate boot disks and

swinstall the latest vPars bundle to those boot disks as well.

Step 6. Once all the virtual partitions have shutdown as part of the swinstall reboot process, you will be at

a vPars Monitor prompt. From here, you can reboot the nPartition.

Example:

MON> reboot

When the system comes back up to the MON> prompt, it should have loaded the new (latest) vPars

Monitor.

Step 7. From here, reboot all the virtual partitions; they will complete their swinstall process.

Example:

MON> vparload -all

Step 8. Reset the autoboot and autosearch attributes of all the virtual partitions to their original values,

which were recorded in Step 3.

Example:

keira1 # vparmodify -p keira1 -B auto -B nosearch

keira1 # vparmodify -p keira2 -B manual -B nosearch

keira1 # vparmodify -p keira3 -B auto -B nosearch

The virtual partitions should now be running the latest vPars A.04.xx version.
