HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Overview HP-UX 11i v3 (B3921-90011, September 2010)

Networking (Multiple Operating Systems, Multiple Servers)
Unless the physical servers are each running in standalone mode — “Standalone Systems (One
Single-Core Server, One Operating System Instance)”) — when you have multiple operating
systems running on an equal or lesser number of physical servers, the virtualization technologies
that can be used to flexibly use their resources fall into the networking category of virtualization
technologies.
There are many well established applications, protocols, and networking technologies. They
work between multiple HP-UX operating systems, and between HP-UX and other operating
systems as well. Table 2-2 lists a few common networking technologies.

Combining Virtualization Technologies
All of the HP virtualization technologies work together to give you even greater flexibility.
For example, you can use WLM within a whole server that can be clustered in an HP Serviceguard
cluster, extended campus cluster, metropolitan cluster, or continental cluster (high availability clusters
of various geographical separation).
You can also use WLM on an Integrity VM host and within any individual Integrity VM (guest).
You can use WLM within nPartitions and virtual partitions as well as across partitions. Many
such combinations are possible.
