vpar failed to load

[Rick Garland]

Hi all:

rp8400 HPUX 11.11 vpar 3.03

I loaded 11.11 onto a disk and booted. I then loaded 11.11 on another disk and booted there.

I went back to the 1st load. This is to be the 1st vpar. I loaded the vpar package.

I then rebooted into the 2nd OS load and installed the vpar package.

I boot back to the 1st load and do the vparcreate command. Success. I then boot, interrupt, go to ISL, hpux /stand/vpmon.

I am able to load the 1st virtual partition from the MON prompt. I then do the vparcreate comand to make the 2nd virtual partition. The command does not return any errors.

At this point I should be able to vparboot -p 2nd virtpart. Says it is loading. Then gives me the following error:
kernel file is not relocatable for
File address is 0x0000000000020000 & memory address is 0x0000000008000000
Error reading program segments
Failed to load (1/0/0/2/0.6.0;) /stand/vmunix
has halted

Any ideas?

It seems to be vpdb is not in sync or may be corrupted. Copy /stand/vpdb from 1st Vpar. also try to boot with previous kernel and see.
What is output of
vparstatus -v

There is no /stand/vpdb in the 2nd OS. Should there be?

[IT_2007]

yes. You said you installed vpar software on 2nd vpar. If not, then check swlist -l fileset -a state |egrep -i "corrupt|installed|transient"

I was able to copy the vpdb file from the 1st vpar to the 2nd vpar. (Using a 3rd party)

I am now booting both vpars

Thanks
