Hewlett-Packard
has identified an issue with the vPars-compatible WINSTALL install
kernel and the December 2001 and March 2002 Ignite-UX versions (B.3.5.89
and B.3.6.82, respectively). The vPars-compatible WINSTALL install
kernel is not compatible with all the features of December 2001
and March 2002 Ignite-UX software releases. An update of the Ignite-UX
server WINSTALL is needed to be compatible with the December 2001
Ignite-UX version (B.3.5.89) or the March 2002 Ignite-UX version
(B.3.6.82) software releases.
NOTE: WINSTALL
is a bootable kernel used by Ignite-UX during installation and recovery
of a virtual partition. The WINSTALL_script copies a vPars-compatible
WINSTALL to the correct location on an Ignite-UX server.
HP's
Recommendation:
Download the
WINSTALL software package from the HP Software Depot at:
Select "Enhancement
Releases", then "HP-UX Virtual Partitions" and follow
the directions on the web page for downloading the WINSTALL software
package. The WINSTALL software package consists of a WINSTALL_script
and WINSTALL binaries, one for each of the supported Ignite-UX versions
(B.3.4.115, B.3.5.89, B.3.6.82). The script will install the appropriate
version of the vPars-compatible WINSTALL based on the Ignite-UX
version installed on your system.
Please refer
to the HP-UX 11i Release Notes (December 2001, part # 5185-4304;
or March 2002, part # 5185-4391), which are delivered with the HP-UX
11i media kit CDs, for information on the Ignite-UX version enhancements
in each release. Release Notes can also be found at this website:
http://docs.hp.com.
For additional
information on updating your Ignite-UX server, refer to the 'Installation'
section in chapter 4 of the 'Installing and Managing HP-UX Virtual
Partitions' manual that is included on your vPars CD, or that
can be found at this website: http://docs.hp.com/hpux/11i/index.html#Virtual%20Partitions.
