Updating to HP-UX 11i v2
Creating an HP Service Partition
Chapter 6 109
Creating an HP Service Partition
Update-UX does not create or modify the HP Service Partition required
by some HP Offline Diagnostics tools. If you are updating from a system
that does not have an HP Service Partition, such as system newly
updated from HP-UX 11i v1.6, you will need to create the HP Service
Partition now.
To Determine If the HP Service Partition Exists
Step 1. As root, find the location of your root disk:
• If you are using LVM, enter the following command:
lvlnboot -v
You should see results similar to the following:
# lvlnboot -v
Boot Definitions for Volume Group /dev/vg00:
Physical Volumes belonging in Root Volume Group:
/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2 (0/1/1/0.1.0) -- Boot Disk
Boot: lvol1 on: /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2
Root: lvol3 on: /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2
Swap: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2
Dump: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c2t1d0s2, 0
• For VxVM, enter the following command:
vxprint -d
You should see output similar to the following:
# vxprint -d
