Creating a first vPar in an nPar

Create initial vPar

Check if the vpar software is installed

# swlist|grep T1335CC
T1335CC               A.05.01.03     HP-UX Virtual Partitions for 11.31

Find the console LBA.

-a io:1.0.1.1.0.1.1.6.0:BOOT is boot disk of nPar only, this is only when we are creating first vpar in an nPar.
Check the configuration

Modify the auto file on the nPars boot disk to automaticaly run vpmon

# lvlnboot -v   <- find your boot disk
# mkboot -a "boot vpmon -a" /dev/rdisk/disk#

Change boot mode to vPars

# vparenv -m vPars
# vparenv (verification)
# vparefiutil -u
# vparefiutil (verification)

Reboot the box

# reboot
