Do you want to install the second vPar from ignite server?

Have a look at this thread, there are a lot of troubleshooting hints.

Bonsoir,

Assuming that your ignite server is correctly configured, I have focused on this line :



Did you first specified a boot disk ? Found this in documentaions and it sounds not so bad :

---------------------------------------

On both PA-RISC and Integrity, before booting a virtual partition for installation (in other
words, using vparboot -p target_partition -I...), please be sure that you have specified
a boot disk using the BOOT attribute (io:boot_device:BOOT)for the virtual partition. This is
performed during either the initial vparcreate or subsequent vparmodify commands when
configuring the target virtual partition.

If you have not specified a boot disk, you will not see the BOOT attribute in the vparstatus -v
output for the target virtual partition:

[IO Details]
0.1
0.8
0.3

If you have, you will see the BOOT attribute in the vparstatus -v output:
[IO Details]
0.1
0.8
0.3
0.8.0.0.8.0.110.0.0.0 BOOT

---------------------------------------

Hope this will help.

See you tomorrow
