vPar Relocateable Kernel

wjcb — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 17:30:48 GMT

We recently restored a A.05.06 vPar image from an RP8440 vpar onto a standalone RP8440. Of course this left the vPar software installed and the kernel as relocateable. Both the source system and target systems are HPUX 11.31.

Does anyone know if this could cause problems? Should I remove the vPar software and thus revert back to a non-relocateable kernel?

The reason I ask is we are having some oracle/java/apache problems (without going into too much gory detail) that HP is working with us to try and figure out. Something about a mutex causing apache to hang and get retstarted by opmn.

Just curious if anyone else out there may have seen this behaviour or has any suggestions...

Thanks,

Bill

It would not harm if you remove the vPars software on a non-Vpars system - I would remove it.

And I'd keep it installed - it won't harm anything and you could move back. Relocatable kernel is kernel binary layout thing and not functionality inside the binary, it won't be the cause of any runtime problems...
