3.3 Setting Up an Ignite -UX Server to Support Virtual Partitions On our first Virtual Partition, we can utilize the existing HP-UX Operating System. On subsequent Virtual Partitions, we need to have a means of installing HP-UX onto the intended boot disks. This may be an Ignite-UX Server (hence the need for a LAN card in our configuration) that contains the full Operating System software, patches, the vPar bundle, and any associated applications (see Chapter 13, Installing Software with Software Distributor and Ignite-UX). The only issue with setting up an Ignite-UX Server is the Ignite-UX kernel itself. The WINSTALL file supplied by newer versions of Ignite-UX is perfectly vPar-enabled . However, if our version of Ignite-UX on the Ignite server is B.3.4.XX (September 2001), B.3.5.XX (December 2001), or B.3.6.XX (Match 2002), we need to obtain the new version of the /opt/ignite/boot/WINSTALL file. A script called WINSTALL_script , located under the root directory of the CD in a sub-directory called vParsWINSTALL , will copy the WINSTALL file to the correct location on the Ignite-UX server.

Once you locate the script, simply run it and the new WINSTALL file will prompt you for any additional information it needs. |
