Unable to install vPar A.03.05 on hp-ux 111 version 1

[VIGNOLA,ALESSANDRO]

hi, I'm in trouble to install the vpar A.03.05 on a Superdome PA-risk. Installed the base hpux, the Gold bundle [dec 08], the HW enable [dec 06]. But still problem to install.In fact the T1335Ac is partial marked for installation reporting:

"VirtualPartition.VPAR-KRN,r=A.03.05.07,a=HP-UX_B.11.11_64,v=HP,fa=HP-UX_B.11.11_64" was successfully marked, but it depends on the following software items which could not be found in the source.
However, these items may already be in the target. This will be checked during the Analysis Phase: PartitionManager.PARMGR,r>=B.11.11.01.05 The Software "VirtualPartition.VPAR-MON2,r=A.03.05.07,a=HPUX_B.11.11_64,v=HP,fa=HP-UX_B.11.11_64" was successfully marked, but it depends on the following software items which could not be found in the source.
However, these items may already be in the target. This will be checked during the Analysis Phase:
PartitionManager.PARMGR,r>=B.11.11.01.05
The software "VirtualPartition.VPAR-RUN,r=A.03.05.07,a=HP-UX_B.11.11_64,v=HP,fa=HP-UX_B.11.11_64" was successfully marked, but it depends on the following software items which could not be found in the source.

should be contained in the T1335AC or are there any prerequisite? I didn't find them
:(

Shalom Alex,

What is the model command output.

vpar will not work on all systems. Your system may exclude use of this product.

The output requires:

PartitionManager.PARMGR,r>=B.11.11.01.05
should be contained in the T1335AC or are there any prerequisite? I didn't find them

Partition manager, which also won't install except on supported hardware.

Hi,

As per the message, you need to install PartitionManager bundle before installing the vPar bundle.

In my system, swlist -l bundle return this..

# swlist -l bundle |grep -i parmgr
ParMgr B.11.11.02.00.05.03 Partition Manager - HP-UX

[VIGNOLA,ALESSANDRO]

I have a partition manager version greather then the requested:
a2sdb09:/# swlist -l product|grep -i partition
NParProvider B.12.01.07.01 nPartition Provider
NPartition A.01.03 Enhanced NPartition Commands
PartitionManager B.12.02.02.02 <----Partition Manager for HP-UX
vParManager B.11.11.01.03 Virtual Partition Manager for HP-UX

Is this the only missing prerequisite?
Did you download the vPar version from ITRC?

I noticed that the download version does not include one mandatory fileset:
IPMIMXOS11i A.01.01 IPMI driver support bundle for mixed HP-UX 11i vPar environment

It's only found on the installation media.
Make sure you have that fileset available too.

My 2 cents,
Armin

Ciao Alex,

I think it's just a message of analysis, T1335AC doesn't contain Partion Manager software as well. If you go on with installation I suppose the vpar software will be installed successfully as Partion Manager (with a good requested version) is already onto the target.
Have you tried to go on with installation?

Ciao,
Fabio

Missed the word superdome in the original post.

Its a dependency issue.

when I mount the cdrom on the server is showed:
IPMIMXOS11i -> A.01.01 IPMI driver support bundle for mixe
T1335AC -> A.03.05.07 HP-UX Virtual Partitions
VPARMGR -> B.11.11.01.03 Virtual Partition Manager - HP-UX
s
Selecting them, it's reported that T1335AC is Spartial and the error:
* Summary of Analysis Phase:
ERROR: Exclude IPMIMixedOS.IPMIMXOS-KRN,r=A.01.01
ERROR: Exclude VirtualPartition.VPAR-KRN,r=A.03.05.07

ERROR: 4 of 173 filesets had Errors.
* 169 of 173 filesets will be Skipped.

the T1335AC should be the vpar or should need a prerequisite? I didn't find vpar "base" on application cd.

hello, problem solved installing the last version of icod [B9073BA], after this the installation was fine.

I know thie problem well, the problem is reported earlier in the swagent log file. Take a closer look - usually you have already an older version installed.

Problem is, you need to upgrade ICOD in one step, installing vPars in the next. You cannot install both at the same time.
