Updating to the Latest Version of vPars

To update from a previous version of vPars, perform the following:

Shut down all the virtual partitions.
Reboot the server into standalone mode. This consists of the following:
1. At the MON> prompt, type reboot
2. If needed, interrupt the boot sequence at the BCH> and boot /stand/vmunix instead of /stand/vpmon. For example:
```
BCH> bo pri
interact with IPL? y
.
.
.
ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix
```
Install the new vPars bundle using swinstall. For the appropriate bundle name, see “Bundle Names”.
Reboot the hard partition:
# shutdown -r
Boot the vPars monitor and the virtual partitions from the disk where you installed the vPars bundle. For example, if we had installed the bundle to the disk at the primary path:
```
BCH> bo pri
interact with IPL? y
.
.
.
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon -a
```
If you have configured your AUTO file in the LIF area to boot the monitor and virtual partitions automatically, then this step will be performed automatically. For more information, see “Autobooting the Monitor and All Virtual Partitions”.
On each virtual partition, repeat Step 3 to install the new vPars bundle on each boot disk of each virtual partition (you do not need to reboot the hard paritition). Because the boot disk used to boot in standalone mode in Step 2 already has the new vPars bundle (this was installed during Step 3), you can exclude this step for the boot disk at the primary path.
You must install the new vPars bundle on each virtual partition before putting the virtual partitions back into production. Running a mix of older and newer vPars versions within a group of virtual partitions is not supported.




	NOTE: You can update directly only from free product to newer free product or from purchased product to newer purchased product. You cannot update directly from free product to the purchased product. If you wish to update from the free product to the purchased product, first you need to remove the free product VPARSBASE, and then install the purchased product T1335AC. To avoid having to recreate your vPars configuration, you can perform the following steps: Backup the file `/stand/vpdb` (this file is the vPars partition database) Remove the free product from all virtual partitions. See “Removing the vPars Product”. Install the full product. See “Installing vPars Using Ignite-UX ” or “Installing vPars Using Software Distributor ”. However, while in standalone mode, at the point where you would normally create the virtual partitions using vparcreate, restore `/stand/vpdb`. Then continue with the installation as you normally would.
