vPars creation

xaoc — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 10:54:55 GMT

Hi,

I've a system with installed single vPar (HP-UX 11.31 Release March 2011 and vPars A.05.08), my question is :

Can I create another vPar with a lower Release of the OS (for example HP-UX 11.31 March 2010)?

If you net the minimum requirements for your hardware - yes, you can, but vPars software must be the same.

OK but I'm a little bit confused because according to the ReleaseNotes of A.05.08 March 2011 Release of the OE is a requisite! So is this means that in my case I can put only vPars with OS Release march 2011 (as you said vPar software must be the same version A.05.08)?

You are right, it says "vParsA.05.08 requires the HP-UX11iv3(B.11.31)March2011 update release" - so you need to use it.

While A.05.08 does need the OE mentioned it also supports mixing of minor version.

See vPars A.05.08 release notes:

"...

HP-UX Virtual Partitions now supports mixing different minor release of vPars. This enhances

the flexibility of using vPars software. This feature is available only on HP-UX 11i v3 vPars

version 05.05 and later

..."

So you can have one vpar running A.05.08 and other vpars with A.05.05 or higher installed.
