Problem booting vpar from Ignite SD

[Lexz]

Hi all,

I have this problem of which I dont know wether it is an Ignite problem or a vpar problem.
I build a vpar “test1” on an hp-ux box.
I set up an ignite server on that same vpar.
Set up a software depot from the install cd’s and added vpar software to the depot.
Build a second vpar “test2” and try to boot the new vpar from the install source using:

vparboot -p test2 -I test1,/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.23/WINSTALL

The installation looks good a first sight but ends with:

______________________________________________________________________

or function properly.

After rebooting the new vpar boot sequence stops at:

What can be the problem?
Thanks for any input.

"Kernel file is not relocatable for test2"

This indicates your depot does not contain the vPar software.
Make sure you install the vPar depot along with the OS.

Ran into the same issue way back when...

Patch issue.. Check the release notes for the vPar package.
