How to install VPAR using the Different Subnet Ignite Server?

[Guna_2]

Hello Friends,

I have 2 vpars on my Integrity Partition and one vpar is already running with HPUX 11.31 with VPAR Version A.05.03. My Ignite Server is on different Subnet(VLAN).

I believe we could install the next vpar using the vparload -p vparname -I(from existing vpar, as the INSTALLFS kernel will be downloaded using the current running vpar Lan Card) command and that could even install the OS from an Ignite Server which is on another subnet.

But i could not do it. Can someone please guide is that possible? If so how to do ?

Thanks,
Guna

Hi,
From the active vpar use "vparboot" command:

vparboot -p vpar_name -I -s ignite_server_ip -c client_ip -g client_gateway -m client_mask -b /opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi -o IINSTALL

Installaion from Tape Ignite could be one of the way to solve ur issues, take tape ignite of currect server and installe, boot the vpar frm tape drive,
# vparload -p vparname TAPE

Hey Turgay,

This option doesn't seem to be working. It looks it is availble only from VPAR Version A.05.04. Where as my system has A.05.03.

vparboot -p vpar_name -I -s ignite_server_ip -c client_ip -g client_gateway -m client_mask -b /opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi -o IINSTALL

Thanks

Hi again...
Do you have any other hp-ux server on the same subnet with your new VPAR? If yes then you can use bootpd to give IP address to your new vpar...
