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

CAUTION: The A.03.xx releases of vPars require the first virtual partition to own the LBA for
the physical hardware console port. For the example above, when we create the virtual partitions,
we would create winona1 and keira1 first.
CAUTION:
vPars Console Assignment on sx2000-based Servers The console UART for sx2000-based
servers is no longer on a PCI card, and the system console is memory mapped and moved to
PDH. Hence, there is no LBA component for the console to be assigned to a virtual partition.
Thus, for sx2000-based servers, you must assign the console by hardware path to a virtual partition
by performing the following steps. For sx2000-based servers running vPars A.03.xx, the console
hardware path must be assigned to the first virtual partition created.
1. Find out the console hardware path:
# ioscan -kfnC tty
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
=============================================================
tty 0 0/8/1 asio0 CLAIMED INTERFACE Built-in RS232C
/dev/diag/mux0 /dev/mux0 /dev/tty0p0
The console hardware path on this system is 0/8/1.
2. Assign the console hardware path to the first virtual partition being created:
# vparcreate -p vPar1 -a io:0/8/1 ...
