For the root disk of each virtual partition,
use Software Distributor to install HP-UX, desired patches, the
Quality Pack bundle, the vPars software bundle, and the desired
vPars-related bundles.
Boot the disk that is intended to be the boot disk
of the first virtual partition into the normal (non-vPars) HP-UX
environment.
In our example, if the primary path is set to the boot disk
of the first virtual partition winona1,
the command is:
BCH> bo pri
interact with IPL: n
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 “Ensuring
the Hardware Console Port Is Owned by the First Virtual Partition”.
Use ioscan to verify the hardware addresses in your virtual partition
plan:
# ioscan
Create the virtual partitions using the information
you prepared in the virtual partition plan.
For the example hard partition, the commands are:
# vparcreate -p winona1 -a cpu::2 -a cpu:::2 -a mem::640 -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
Reboot the hard partition.
# /etc/shutdown -r
Interrupt the boot process as your hard partition
comes back up to reach the ISL prompt.
BCH> bo pri
interact with IPL: y
At the ISL prompt, boot the monitor and all the
virtual partitions.
In our example, the command is:
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon -a
