Some of the HP products that you can use with vPars and Integrity VM include:
• HP-UX operating system — HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM run on HP-UX 11i v3 Integrity systems
on the VSP. V6.1 requires that the VSP be installed with the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2012 release.

central managed systems (CMS). Runs under HP Systems Insight Manager. For more
information, see the HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.0 Getting Started Guide.

product allows you to centrally define resource-sharing policies that you can use across multiple

1.12 Using the vPars and Integrity VM documentation
The vPars and Integrity VM product bundle includes several useful sources of information, whether
you are considering how to set up your vPar or virtual machine or determining how to upgrade
your installation.
1.12.1 Integrity VM commands
Integrity VM commands provide a convergence point between Integrity VM and vPars. You can
use Integrity VM commands to create, clone, start, and manage not only VMs, but also vPars. You
can continue to use vPars commands (whose manpages are listed in Table 3 (page 26)), but
Integrity VM commands provide a superset of features to accommodate both VMs and vPars.
For online information about using Integrity VM commands, see the following manpages on the
VSP system:
