What is vPars?

The vPars (Virtual Partitions) product allows you to run multiple

instances of HP-UX simultaneously on one computer by dividing

the computer into virtual partitions. Each partition is assigned

its own subset of hardware, runs a separate instance of HP-UX,

and hosts its own set of applications. Because each HP-UX

instance is isolated from all other instances, vPars provides

application and OS (Operating System) fault isolation. Each

instance of HP-UX can be of a different release, have different

patches, and have a different kernel.
