Hi.

rp5470 suppirts only 2 vpar, so you need to have seperate harddisk and network card on a different SCSI i/o

eg: your internal lan card is at 0/0 and disk at 0/0/2/0.6.0

and external lan card at 0/5 and disk at 0/0/8/0.9.0

Load the OS and vpar s/w on both the disks.
boot using any one disk
(assuming you are booted with internal disk 0/0/2/0.6.0)
#vparcreate -p vpar1 -a cpu:33 -a mem:: -a io:0/0 -a io:0/0/2/0.6.0:boot
#vparcreate -p vpar2 -a cpu:37 -a mem: -a io:0/5 -a io:0/0/8/0.9.0:boot

(you can get the CPU nos using ioscan -k)
#reboot
ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon
mon> vparload -p vpar1
now vpar1 boots and ask for login
vpar1 #> vparboot -p vpar2

vpar2 load start booting

#vparstatus
will show you the state of each vpars
