vpar software

Eric Firkey — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:59:24 GMT

I am trying to create two vpars on a two cell RP7410 server, but I have a couple of questions. Each cell has 4 cpus.

Will the vpar software install with HPUX lliv1 Dec 2006 automatically or do I have to install a vpar depot? where can I obtain the vpar depot if it does not?

If I ultimately want two vpars, one accessing 2 cpus and the other 6 cpus do I create one npar first?

Thank you for any help.

No it will not as it is on separate media in 11iv1

> where can I obtain the vpar depot if it does not?
You must purchase the Software, this will get the media sent to you

Yes, you create one large nPar, install the OS onto the boot disk, as well as the vPar software. Then create your two vPars, remember that you will still have to install the OS AND the vPar software onto the second vPar boot disk.

any idea what the separate media is called? Is it in the Quality Pack?

Any idea where I would need to order the media?

Shalom,

If you have a software support agreement:

You order the necessary media above.

Note also December 2006 software is pretty old, and you might want to consider building your vpars with a more recent release.
