Release Notes for HP 9000 Containers A.03.01 (Dec 2011)

The transitioned applications reside in a chroot environment (called the HP

9000 Container) along with the HP 9000 commands and libraries. The HP 9000

Container has its own IP address which can be used to login, start/stop

applications and network. The HP 9000 Container can be started, stopped,

exported, imported and deleted. However, it is not a virtual machine and

hence it cannot support HP 9000 HP-UX kernel, kernel intrusive applications,

device drivers, system administration commands and system management

related applications inside it.

HP 9000 Containers is built using two key HP-UX technologies - the HP ARIES

dynamic binary translator, which is a time tested and reliable tool to

transition well-behaved HP 9000 applications without recompilation, and

HP-UX Containers (aka Secure Resource Partitions - SRP) which allows

creation and management of multiple isolated execution environments within

the same HP-UX operating system instance.
