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

NOTE: At this point, you need to reboot the nPartition from the MON> prompt, not just
the virtual partition. By rebooting the nPartition, you can load the new vPars Monitor in the
next step.
7. If needed (depending upon how your nPartition’s autoboot configuration is set up), interrupt
the nPartition boot process and load the vPars Monitor. Example for PA-RISC:
BCH> bo pri
interact with IPL: y
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon
Example for Integrity:
Shell> fs0:
fs0:\> hpux
HPUX> boot vpmon
8. Boot the virtual partitions. Example:
MON> vparload -all
When the virtual partitions are booted, they will continue and complete their update processes
(the virtual partitions can be booed in any order). After this is completed, you should arrive
at the login: prompt for each virtual partition. Login as root and continue to the next step.
9. Turn autoboot and autosearch settings back to their original settings that you recorded earlier
above. Example:
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira1 -B auto
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira1 -B nosearch
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira2 -B manual
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira2 -B nosearch
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira3 -B auto
keira1 # vparmodify -p keira3 -B nosearch
10. The virtual partitions should now be running the latest vPars version. To verify this, you
can login to each virtual partition and use the vparstatus command with the -P option:
Example:
keira1# vparstatus -P
Current Virtual Partition Version: A.05.01
Monitor Version: A.05.01

NOTE: vPars A.04.xx uses only base memory; therefore, when updating to vPars A.05.xx
from A.04.xx, all memory will be converted as base memory. To convert the base memory
to float memory, see “Memory: Converting Base Memory to Float Memory” (page 186).
