Installing and Removing vPars-related Bundles

B6826AA (parmgr)

The Partition Manager (parmgr) is required for installation of the vPars A.03.xx and earlier. This is true on both nPartitionable servers as well as non-nPartitionable servers (rp7400/N4000 and rp5470/L3000). It is normal to have this product installed on non-nPartitionable servers.

The Partition Manager (PARMGR) is available at the HP Software Depot website:http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot

To install the Partition Manager bundle using the vPars CD:

# swinstall -s /cdrom B6826AA

To remove the Partition Manager product:

# /usr/sbin/swremove PartitionManager

Note that the Partition Manager product can be removed only after the vPars product is removed from a virtual partition.

VPARMGR

(vPars A.03.xx and earlier) The vPars GUI (vparmgr) is not automatically installed when vPars is installed. If you wish to use vparmgr, you need to manually select this bundle during your Software Distributor (SD) or Ignite-UX session or add this bundle to your swinstall command line.

VPARMGR is available on the vPars CD and from the HP Software Depot website: http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot

To install the VPARMGR bundle using the vPars CD:

# swinstall -s /cdrom VPARMGR

To remove the VPARMGR product:

# /usr/sbin/swremove vParManager

NOTE: The product VPARMGR is optional.
