SolutionFor exactly this reason you should keep an "ioscan -fn" made in non-vapr configuration.
Now you can reboot to non-vpar environment and get it or have a look at the hardware and calculate the pathes...
An
# vparstatus -A
may help.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: create a new vPAR
Take a look what slots you want to assign.
The install process will tell you the path to the boot disk, use this information to set the boot path in vPar config.
Normally, all this information you currently have should be enough to setup your new vPar.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: create a new vPAR
You should see the used boot disk anywhere in the ignite installation or the console logs.
Hope this helps!

Re: create a new vPAR
- switch to non-vPar mode and reboot
- let the system boot the default boot entry from EFI menu
- interrupt the OS loader!
- now you have the HPUX> prompt
- run
HPUX> boot vmunix
this will boot the kernel directly, the default setting is "boot vpmon" - this will boot the vPar monitor.
Once the (non-vPar) system is booted, you have access to all devices.
Run
# ioscan -fn
and look for all disks with special files like
cxtydzs2
(note the "s2"!)
These are boot disks - the disk that isn't in
# strings /etc/lvmtab
under vg00 is most likely the boot disk of your new vPar.
# vparstatus -v
will confirm this.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
