[Corporate Unix01]

Dear All,

Kindly let me know how to install HP UX 11iV3 VSOE in Itanium vpar environment using DVD. I m using Vpar version A.04.06 in my current environment.
Using vparmodify DVD as bootalias is not supportable.
Let me know what is is procedure for booting vpar using DVD ROM.

Thanks ...

Probably the most easy procedure is to copy the DVD to your ignite server, boot and install the vPar from there. See the manual for details.

If you want to run 11iv2 and 11iv3 vpars together then you need to boot A.05.x version of vpmon. Please carefully read :

1-) You need to shutdown all your vpars, and boot into npar mode then install your 11iv3 and vpar software
2-) Boot from A.05.x vpmon
3-)As far as i know you need to recreate your (You cant use old vpdb) old vpars from scratch, and boot them.

Shalom,

I would also swcopy the DVD to an Ignite install point on rw shared NFS is a good place to do it.

Once the Ignite server is set up on the same subnet you can boot any compatible system off of it.

Dear All,

Thankx for reply, I need to try by booting in Npar mode and boot using dvd.

I have ignite server in place, but due to space constraint i can not use this server.

Will let u know all after trying Npar mode booting and installation status.
