Installing vPars with Ignite-UX on PA-RISC
1. Boot your system using the Ignite-UX server. If your Ignite server’s IP address is ww.xx.yy.zz:
BCH> bo lan.ww.xx.yy.zz install
Interact with IPL: n
2. Using the Ignite-UX server, install HP-UX, desired patches, the Quality Pack bundle, the vPars bundle,
and the desired vPars-related bundles onto the disk that will be the boot disk of the first virtual
partition.
NOTE: So that the TERM variable will always be set correctly, you should ensure that the first virtual
partition owns the hardware console port. For more information, see “Assigning the Hardware Console
LBA” on page 63.
3. Use ioscan to verify the hardware addresses in your virtual partition plan.
# ioscan
4. Create the virtual partitions using the information you prepared in the virtual partition plan.
For example, the non-nPartitionable system running A.03:
# vparcreate -p winona1 -a cpu::2 -a cpu:::2 -a mem::1024 -a io:0.0 -a io:0.4 -a
io:0/0/2/0.6.0:BOOT
# vparcreate -p winona2 -a cpu::2 -a cpu:::2 -a cpu:41 -a cpu:45 -a mem::1280 -a io:0.8
-a io:1.10 -a io:0/8/0/0.5.0:BOOT
# vparcreate -p winona3 -a cpu::1 -a cpu:::1 -a mem::1280 -a io:0.5 -a io:1.4 -a
io:1/4/0/0.5.0:BOOT
Or for the nPartitionable system running A.04:
# vparcreate -p keira1 -a cpu::2 -a mem::1024 -a io:0.0.1 -a io:1.0.0 -a
io:1/0/0/3/0.6.0:BOOT
# vparcreate -p keira2 -a cpu::1 -a cell:1:cpu::1 -a mem::1024 -a io:1.0.1 -a io:1.0.4
-a io:1/0/4/1/0/4/0.1.0.0.0.0.1:BOOT
# vparcreate -p keira3 -a cpu::1 -a mem::1024 -a io:0.0.2 -a io:0.0.0 -a
io:0/0/0/3/0.6.0:BOOT
NOTE If you need to set your ILM or CLM granularity to values different from the defaults, you
must do this using the first vparcreate command. For example, the first vparcreate
command which creates the vPars database (/stand/vpmon) would be:
# vparcreate -p keira1 -g ILM:1024 -g CLM:1024 -a cpu::2 -a mem::1024 -a
io:0.0.1 -a io:1.0.0 -a io:1/0/0/3/0.6.0:BOOT
For more information on granularity values, see “Memory: Granularity Concepts” on
page 249.
5. Reboot the system.
# shutdown -r
