In the docs it seems to suggest that I need specify unique I/O Paths and Boot Path. But I don't think this is possible because the VA problem. Any suggestions!
Thank you - Rae McCarthy

Re: vPars question
I thought a system was already 1 hard partition. Are you saying that I have to create the system as 1 nPartition?

Re: vPars question
Make sure that you have all required Npar and Vpar software installed and in configured state.
you can define resources using vparcreate command including cpu, mem, io.
Are you looking for the help to do HOW-TO ?

Re: vPars question
Do you have HPUX installed right now?
If you do, could you gave information below:
# nparstatus
Do you want to install the os of the vpar on the VA7400? It would be dangerous because every vPar will see all 6 LUN you created on the VA7400
guide to nPartitions:
http://www.docs.hp.com/en/5991-1247/5991-1247.pdf
guide to vPar:
http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11i.html#Virtual%20Partitions
regards,
Sandy

Re: vPars question
I installed HPUX 11.11 on the local disk drive. I then installed npars, vpars, ignite, etc. I'm assuming that I now need to create the 6 vpars using the VA7400 disk space. I will attached the output of /usr/lib/npar/parstatus.

Re: vPars question
also post output of ioscan -fnCdisk
output shows two HP 73.4GB disks for paths:
1/0/0/3/0.6.0 and 1/0/1/0/0/1/1.6.0
Are these hooked to VA7400 or local?

Re: vPars question
convert existing Npar to vpar using vparcreate command. Need to know what is boot disk and alternate boot disk, how many cpu's you want to bind, how much memory you want to allocate and what other resources like Fibre channel cards, NIC cards etc.. Once you have that information you can issue the command:
vparcreate -p
-a io:fibrecard1 -a io:fibrecard2 \
-a io:boot-diskpath:BOOT -a io:alt-boot:ALT
and then make sure that you issue following commands on boot disks.
mkboot -a "hpux -lq /stand/vpmon -a" /dev/dsk/cxtydz which is primary boot disk
issue same command for alternate boot disk so that when you reboot it will bring up all vpars.
Once you bring up 1st vpar, you can continue to create multiple vpars at one shot.
vparstatus -v will shows all vpar's info.
To boot other vpar's from 1st vpar, use:
1stvpar:> vparboot -p <2ndvpar>
1stvpar:> vparboot -p <3rdvpar>

Re: vPars question
The 73Gb disks are local drives on the RP7410 not on the VA7400.

Re: vPars question
Your question was how to specify unique IO paths.. correct? They are unique, for ex: 0/0/10/0/0.1.1.0.0.0.4 is related to disk /dev/dsk/c38t0d4. If this going to be a boot disk then
vparcreate -p
like that so on...

Re: vPars question
vpcreate -p cms01 -a cpu:::1:1 -a cpu:0/10
-a mem:4096 -a io:0/0/10 -a o:1/0/1/0/0/4/0
-aio:10/0/0.1.0.0.0.0.1:BOOT
Something isn't correct..
do this way. to convert existing one, give me lvlnboot -v so that I tell you exact syntax.
it would be like:
vparcreate -p cms01 -a cpu::1:1 -a mem:::4096 -a io:0/0/10 -a io:1/0/1/0/0/4/0 \
-a io:10/0/0.1.0.0.0.0.1:BOOT \
-a io:10/0/0.1.0.0.0.0.2:ALT
