HP-UX Virtual Partitions Release Notes A.05.08

Workaround
After the mirror is created, use the vparefiutil -u command to add the new hardware
path to EFI path mapping to the vPars database. Note that on Integrity systems running vPars,
whenever the EFI path of a boot disk changes (for example, if an OS is re-installed on the
disk), the new hardware to EFI path mapping has to be updated in the vPars database. This
can be done by running the vparefiutil -u command. For more information on EFI and
vPars, see the “EFI and Integrity Notes” section in the HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator’s
Guide.
• Virtual Partition Appears to Hang After Typing Control-s
Related Defect ID and Patch Number
JAGae98555
Applicable On
◦ vPars A.05.xx on PA-RISC
◦ vPars A.04.xx on PA-RISC
◦ vPars A.03.xx on PA-RISC
Description
While a virtual partition is shutting down, panicking, or booting, typing Control-s to suspend
its console output may cause the virtual partition to stop making forward progress. The virtual
partition may appear to hang.
Symptoms
If a Control-s is typed at the system keyboard while the virtual partition currently writing to the
console is shutting down, panicking, or booting, that virtual partition may appear to hang.
Workaround
Type Control-q to resume console output.
• Configuring an Ultra2 or Ultra160 Card with vparutil
Related Defect ID and Patch Number
JAGaf00411
Applicable On
◦ vPars A.05.xx on PA-RISC
◦ vPars A.04.xx on PA-RISC
◦ vPars A.03.xx on PA-RISC
Description
On the nPartitionable servers, using the vparutil command to configure an Ultra2 or
Ultra160 SCSI card can cause the virtual partition that owns the SCSI card to fail to boot.
Symptoms
On the nPartitionable servers, the virtual partition connected to an Ultra2 or Ultra160 SCSI
boot device fails to boot after the SCSI card was configured using the vparutil command.
Workaround
◦ For vPars A.03.xx, bring down all the virtual partitions and configure the card at BCH
using the SCSI command to set the desired parameters. Then, boot the vPars Monitor.
◦ For vPars A.04.xx and A.05.xx, use the mptconfig command. For information on
mptconfig, see the Ultra320 SCSI Support Guide or the support guide for your card.
