[likid0]

Hy,

I am installing vpars in a rx server, i have installed the software, patches, assigned resources to the vpar, changed de autoboot string in EFI, vparenv -n vPars, and a reboot, when the server comes up it all goes ok, i get to the MON> prompt vparload -p the server it boots ok but it hangs like 20 minutes when it loads the vmunix kernel of the vpar, like this:

Booting kernel...


is it normal? that the first vpar takes 20 minutes to load the kernel, afterwards it loads the system ok, its not a big problem i just thougth it takes to long to boot.


Does anybody have a clue?


thnx

Hi,

my first clue is to check if the boot loader patch is needed.
Sorry, don't have the number handy ...

Without more details I can only give you these hints:

- check if your vPars version is latest (A.04.03)
- check if the servers firmware is latest (don't know your model)
- check if the patch bundles are current

all may effect your vPars.
