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

Updating from vPars A.03.xx to Mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars (A.03.05
and A.04.05) Environment
This section describes how to update an existing vPars A.03.xx environment to a mixed HP-UX
11i v1/v2 vPars environment. A mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars environment contains both vPars
A.03.05/11.11 and A.04.05/11.23 virtual partitions in the same nPartition.
CAUTION:
Designated-Admin Feature and mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars Environments In a mixed HP-UX
11i v1/v2 environment, configure only virtual partitions containing vPars A.04.05 as
designated-admin virtual partitions. Within a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars environment, only
the virtual partitions containing vPars A.04.05 can modify other virtual partitions via the
vparmodify command, and only virtual partitions containing vPars A.04.05 can use vparcreate
and vparremove to create and remove other virtual partitions. If you use the designated-admin
feature and configure only virtual partitions containing vPars A.03.05 as designated-admin
virtual partitions, no virtual partition will be able to modify other virtual partitions.
NOTE: In a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars environment, all HP-UX 11i v1 virtual partitions
must be updated to vPars A.03.05, and all HP-UX 11i v2 vPars must be updated to vPars A.04.05.
For information on the typical time needed to update the HP-UX version, see the HP-UX 11i v2
Installation and Update Guide.
For information on vPars and HP-UX versions, see the HP-UX Virtual Partitions Ordering and
Configuration Guide.
For information on using a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars environment, see “Mixed HP-UX 11i
v1/v2 vPars Environments in vPars A.04.05” (page 60).
Note that this process works only using Update-UX and a corresponding Ignite-UX depot; it
does not work by directly using the OE and vPars media. If you wish to install directly from
media, you should use the instructions from any of the following sections:
• “Installing vPars with Ignite-UX on PA-RISC” (page 111)
• “Installing vPars with Ignite-UX on Integrity” (page 113)
• “Installing vPars with Software Distributor ” (page 115)
