Upgrading 1 vpar OS from 11.11 to 11.23

John E. Goetz — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 20:55:34 GMT

We have a 3 vpars in an rp7420 all running HPUX 11.11. I am in the process of upgrading one of the vpars to HPUX 11.23. Can I just upgrade this one vpar? Are there any docs that support this and explain the steps?
Thanks

no, you need to have all vpars at 11.23 or at 11.11
This is due to the vpmon versions used.
With the latest release for 11iv2 and 11iv3, you can run 11iv3 and 11iv2 vpars in the same partition.

How about page 20 of chapter 1 in the vPar admin guide.

Update (related to your new thread http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1184990 )

With the new version A.0x.05 (where x is either 3 or 4) you can mix even 11.11 and 11.23 on a PA-RISC system. Check the docs for details.
