9000 Containers product is installed separately from the HP-UX Containers (SRP) product. Once the

HP-UX Containers (SRP) and HP 9000 Containers products are both installed, you can use the

documentation (http://www.hp.com/go/hp9000-containers).

1.5.1 Installation requirements

HP-UX Containers A.03.01.006 product has the following requirements:

 HP-UX 11i v3 March 2014 (B.11.31.1403) for HP 9000 and HP Integrity servers.

NOTE:

 Review the compatibility issues described in 1.10 Compatibility with other products before

installing the HP-UX Containers product.

1.5.2 Configuration requirements

The shared system container has the following file system configuration requirement:

The global directories /stand, /usr, and /sbin are mounted using read-only LOFS mounts into the

container. The root directory of the container (/var/hpsrp/container_name) is required to be on a

different file system than the LOFS read-only mounted directories. Typical file system layouts that use

separate file systems for /, /var, /usr, /home, /stand, and /tmp adhere to this requirement and pose

no problem for shared file system containers. For systems with a file system layout that do not have

separate file systems for /var, /usr, and /sbin, you must create a new file system for /var/hpsrp or a

new file system for each shared system container root directory (/var/hpsrp/container_name). Use

the bdf command to identify the file systems and the associated mount points. Note that the /stand

directory is always a unique file system.
