How do we install the VPARS with IgniteUX on the PA-RISC platform? ON PARISC PLATFORM (HP-UX)

Note: These apply to VPARs versions 4.x/5.x . For the latest in case of any differences refer to the latest documents on the VPARs



ON PARISC PLATFORM:

1) Boot the main NPAR server with the IGNITE server and install the OS onto that.

BCH> boot lan.xx.yy.zz.ww install , where xx.yy.zz.ww is the IP address of the Ignite server.

2) we create the VPAR as per our VPARS data sheet.

#vparcreate –p vpar1 –a cpu::2 –a cpu:::2 –a mem::1024 –a io:0.0.1 –a io:1.0.0 –a io:1/0/0/3/0.6.0:BOOT

#vparcreate –p vpar2 –a cpu::1 –a cell:1::1 – mem::1024 –a io:1.0.1 –a io:1.0.4 –a io:1/0/4/1/0/4/0.1.0.0.0.0.1:BOOT

#vparcreate –p vpar3 –a cpu::1 –a mem::1024 –a io:0.0.2 –a io:0.0.1 –a io:0/0/0/3/0.6.0:BOOT

NOTE: If we have to specify the memory in terms of GLM or CLM then we need to specify this at the time of creating the FIRST VPAR only.

#vparcreate –p vpar1 –G CLM:1024 –g ILM:1024 –a cpu::2 –a mem::1024 –a io:0.0.1 –a io:1.0.0 –a io:1/0/0/3/0.6.0:BOOT'

3) Reboot the system:

#shutdown –r 00

4) Interrupt the booting and from the BCH go to the ISL.

ISL> hpux /stand/vpmon vparload –p vpar1

5) Using the VPAR vpar1 in the booted mode from there Ignite Install all the remaining VPARs one by one. Keep the fact in mind that once we give the vparboot –I command for a VPAR, the source VPAR contacts the Ignite server and tftp downloads the WINSTALL and WINSTALLFS, and the VPMON loads the same into the memory of the target VPAR, which then connects to the IGNITE server for the remaining part of the installation.


vpar1#vparboot –p vpar2 –I xx.yy.zz.ww,/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.11/WINSTALL

VPMON shows that vpar2 is loaded, go to the Install screen of vpar2 using the CTRL-A and follow the rest part of the installation of the client.
