HPVM migration to vpar using Ignite

I have a one hpvm guest running on rx7640.(HPVM A.03.00 / hpux 11.23)
I'd like to change my hpvm to vpar using ignite tape.(Ignite-UX version C.7.8.201)

Is there any consideration to restore guest OS to Npar?

Many thanks

Shalom,

Few tings to think about.

HPVM considerations:

http://docs.hp.com/F5992-3355%2F5992-3355.pdf

Ignite version considerations:
http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-5804/ch03s04.html

All and all it looks like it is possible to do this.

Ignite is the tool to use for migrating HP systems from vm environment to vm environment.

Re: HPVM migration to vpar using Ignite

Thank you for your quick response, Steven!

I got an error on "http://docs.hp.com/F5992-3355%2F5992-3355.pdf"

Anyway, all my worrying is that Npar OS may not boot after OS restoring for the trivial problem like missing driver.

You are correct.

You need to install vPars software at the same time or install ignite image in nPar mode and install vPars software before booting back into vPars mode.

Hope this helps!

I think there are some steps to migrate to Npar to vpar, and it will work fine.. My main concern is the conversion from hpvm to Npar.
