Installing vPar subsystem patch.

[manoj_pu]

Hi Gurus,

We have two vPars created in a Superdome Npar.
Can I have different patch bundle installed in each vPars.

Precisely:
vPar1 - with Dec-04 hardware enablement patch bundle
vPar2 - with Dec-05 hardware enablement patch bundle


Thanks in advance

Manoj

Manoj,

According to this doc http://h20338.www2.hp.com/hpux11i/downloads/vPars_Intro_WP_26Aug05_final.pdf#search=%22two%20vpars%20different%20patching%22
on page 11 you are able to run even different patch levels on the vpar.

Regards,

jaime.

If they contain patches that affect the operation of vPars -- then yes it will matter. Different Patch revs are only allowable I think on the core OS as well as add-on software.

yes you can do it.

Hi Friends,

Thanks for all your valued information.

I have got this doubt because there are many vPar related patches included in hardware enablement patch bundle.

I think, I will have to check specifically for vPar monitor patch in the hardware enablement patch bundle.

If it has any then I will have to install bundle on both vPar.

I have another doubt, do I need to restart 1st vPar in stand-alone mode to install hardware enablement patch?


Thanks and regards
Manoj

Hi Manoj,


You can install HW enable Patch in vpar environment not to take that in potential Environment(NON-VPAR)
