Vpars on PA-RISC sx2000 system running hp-ux v2

Is this supported? If so, what version of vpar s/w should I be using?

Yes, it is supported. You would want at least version A.04.01 or newer.

Re: Vpars on PA-RISC sx2000 system running hp-ux v2

Thanks for the quick response. The reason why I asked the question was I have a vpar on this system which is not booting vpmon. After it tries to boot vpmon, it displays bch menu immediately.

I am able to boot the partition as an npar successfully. Vpar is created with 2 cpus, ILM and clm granularity of 256MB with only ILM configured; and 2 HBA/GigE combo cards.

This is a superdome partition.

Shalom,

Perhaps take a look at /var/adm/ssylog/syslog.log

Though unrelated there is a lot of good vpar doc in this thread.

Steven,

Nothing will be logged in syslog as vpmon itself is not booting.

Page 12 Section 4.2.1 of the vpar ordering and config guide shows that 4.02,03 are not supported on the sx2000 superdome for PA-RISC?? Am I reading it correctly?

Hi,

I installed the version A.04.03 on some systems using the Montecito CPU and the sx2000 chipset without problems.

Any problems in the configuration?
Did you switch to vPars mode?


Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Torsten,

My question is for PA-RISC cpus not IA.

Re: Vpars on PA-RISC sx2000 system running hp-ux v2

The config guide is very clear at this point.

Currently PA-RISC servers with sx2000 are ONLY running with version A.03.04 - this means hp-ux 11.11.

http://docs.hp.com/en/1705/oc.pdf - page 12.

document version Version 07.03.15 - March 07.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Hm, this is an official document on the public HP website - I guess they will refer to this and you will have your answer already.

Hope this helps!
