Best Practices for Deploying HP-UX Secure Resource Partitions (SRP) for SAP Whitepaper

23
Summary
Using SRP for several SAP systems isolates the SAP systems from each other by using compartments. It
is possible to define different levels of isolation, from user login and directory access to port blocking,
by using IPFilter. Although the SRP compartments always use the same OS environment, virtual
hostnames can be realized by using SRP and the resource management can be accomplished on a
very granular basis per SRP compartment using PRM.
Even though SRP compartments can be configured very easily with a few commands, several
adaptations are required when using several SAP systems in different SRP compartments on one host.
With these adaptations, SAP can be fully run within an SRP compartment.
vPar or HP VM should be used if different OS environments are required for different SAP systems or
if the manual adaptations of the SAP systems are not preferable.
