Compatibility
To update to this release of the nPartition Provider, HP recommends installing from the
latest HP-UX Operating Environment Update Release (OEUR) or Application Release
(AR) distribution.
If you must install individual components, you might encounter issues due to mutual
corequisite products. For example, the nPartition Provider requires a certain version of
HP Instant Capacity

and vice versa. To simultaneously satisfy both prerequisites, you
must install both bundles from the same depot (as on an OEUR or AR distribution).
Performance
