rp8440 mon will not boot
using parcreate.
I istalled the vpar software.
I created a vpar using:
vparcreate -p vpar0 -a mem::2048 -a cpu:::2 -a io:3/0/0/2/0.6.0:BOOT
When I reboot it stops at the MA main menu. I issue the BO commend. Interact with IPL? yes.
I then enter hpux /stand/vpmon
It sits there for several min. When it does resume it say 10 seconds has expired and boots to /stand/vmunix?
I dont get it.
Thanks

Re: rp8440 mon will not boot
Otherwise, I expect you're still in nPars mode -- and the monitor won't boot in nPars mode.

Re: rp8440 mon will not boot
Is there anything before the 10 second expiration? Does "hpux ls" show the vpmon file here?

Re: rp8440 mon will not boot
-a cpu:::2
This should be
-a cpu::2
Or did you just type this incorrectly when opening this thread?
Also, is teh boot path 100% correct?

Re: rp8440 mon will not boot
Open another session to the MP and watch the VFP.
Boot again to non-vpars env, run "vparstatus -v" and post.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: rp8440 mon will not boot
But anyway, IMHO you have a little less I/O resources assigned.
Consider to add some more, e.g. a NIC.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

T1335BC A.04.03.03 HP-UX Virtual Partitions for 11.23
According to the
HP-UX Virtual Partitions Ordering and
Configuration Guide
T1335CC, T1335BC, T1335AC
version A.04.03 is **too old** for your system.
This version does not support the rp8440 - you need at least A.04.04 or better A.04.05 for 11.23.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.
