Installing vPars with Ignite-UX on PA-RISC

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

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”.

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 example, the non-nPartitionable system running A.03.xx:

# 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.xx:

# 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”.

Reboot the system.
# shutdown -r
Interrupt the boot process as your system comes back up to reach the ISL prompt.
BCH> bo pri interact with IPL: y
At the ISL prompt, boot the vPars Monitor and the first virtual partition.
Example:
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon vparload -p winona1
From the console of the running virtual partition (in this example, the running virtual partition is winona1), if the TERM environment variable is set to unknown, change the TERM environment variable to hpterm.
For example, in the POSIX shell the command is:
# export TERM=hpterm
Continuing on the console of the running virtual partition (winona1), perform the following for each remaining virtual partition.
1. Boot the target virtual partition from the running virtual partition using vparboot.
  The syntax is:
  # vparboot -p target_partition -I ignite_server,WINSTALL_path
  For our example, if the target partition is winona2, we would execute the following command from winona1:
  # vparboot -p winona2 -I ww.xx.yy.zz,/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.11/WINSTALL
  You will see a message similar to the following:
  <MON> winona2 loaded
2. Press Ctrl-A until you see the console of the target partition. The console will display the Ignite-UX installation interface.
3. Enter the boot disk path, lan info, hostname, and IP of the target partition into the Ignite-UX interface and install HP-UX, desired patches, the Quality Pack bundle, the vPars bundle, and the desired vPars-related bundles. As a result of this process, the virtual partition will automatically reboot.
  TIP: If you get a garbled display, you can press Ctrl-L to refresh the display.

Your system should now be booted with all virtual partitions up.
