HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator's Guide (includes A.03.05 and A.04.05)

— /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.NN/?INSTALL
— where NN completes the HP-UX version and where ? is W for PA-RISC systems◦
— For example, if vPars is using HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23) instances on a PA-RISC server with
Ignite-UX version C.06.xx, the path is:
◦ /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.23/WINSTALL
Thus, if you are using HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23) on a PA-RISC server and
— Ignite-UX version B.05.xx or earlier:
you should specify /opt/ignite/boot/WINSTALL on the command line
(/opt/ignite/boot is the default); for example
# vparboot -p <target_partition> -I <ignite_server>,/opt/ignite/boot/WINSTALL
— Ignite-UX version C.06.xx or later:
you must specify the absolute path /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.23/WINSTALL
on the command line (because /opt/ignite/boot is the default); for example
# vparboot -p <target_partition> -I <ignite_server>,/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.23/WINSTALL
• Ignite-UX Recovery and Expert Recovery Beginning with vPars A.02.03, the creation of
make_tape_recovery tapes is supported on vPars-enabled servers. However, there are
limitations:
— (PA-RISC Only) Recoveries using tapes within the vPars environment is supported
beginning vPars A.03.03, A.04.03, and A.05.01. See “Using make_tape_recovery
within a vPars-environment on PA-RISC Servers (vPars A.03.03, A.04.03, A.05.01)”
(page 283) for more information. If you are using an earlier release of vPars, you must
perform the recovery outside of the vPars environment.
— (Integrity Only) Recoveries using make_tape_recovery tapes must be done outside
of the vPars environment; they cannot be used to recover a system from within a virtual
partition. For example, the tape cannot be used with the vparboot -I command. See
“Using make_tape_recovery Outside of a vPars Environment” (page 277) for a sample
disaster recovery recipe that uses make_tape_recovery.
Ignite-UX Recovery via make_net_recovery requires additional steps as noted in “Network
and Tape Recovery” (page 273).
Expert recovery works as documented in the Ignite-UX manual; however, you must account
for the vPars differences described in “Expert Recovery” (page 284).
For more information on using tape devices, see also the Booting, Installing, Recovery, and
Sharing in a vPars Environment from DVD/CDROM/TAPE/Network white paper available at:

• Ignite-UX and other Curses Applications On the virtual console, when using applications
that use curses, such as the terminal versions of Ignite-UX and SAM, do not press Ctrl-A
to toggle to the console display window of another virtual partition while you are still within
the curses application. This is especially applicable when you are using vparboot -Iand
the Ignite-UX application to install vPars. For more information on curses, see the
curses_intro(3X) manpage.
As with most curses applications, if you get a garbled display, you can press Ctrl-L to
refresh the display.
• ServiceGuard ServiceGuard is supported with vPars. However, because ServiceGuard is
used to guard against hardware failures as well as software failures, its functionality will
be reduced if a cluster includes multiple virtual partitions within the same server. Such
configurations are not recommended. See the ServiceGuard documentation for more
information on running ServiceGuard with vPars.
