HP-UX Virtual Partitions Ordering and Configuration Guide (March 2011)

vPars A.05.xx
See the Support Tools product documentation for the Support Tools version required for HP-UX 11i
v3; vPars itself has no special requirements.
vPars A.04.xx
STM C.48.00 or later (available from the HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 Update or later).
vPars A.03.xx
STM A.43.00 or later (along with patch PHSS_28252 or its successor).
4.4.10 High Availability and ServiceGuard
Both ServiceGuard and hardware failover capabilities are supported in HP-UX Virtual Partitions.
NOTE: The individual server usage and mission criticality should be considered in the failover
design. (i.e. because HP-UX Virtual Partitions does not include hardware isolation, it does not
provide the same level of isolation as failovers between either two separate machines or nPartitions).
See the HA vPars design white paper HP Serviceguard Cluster Configuration for HP-UX 11i or
Linux Partitioned Systems, available on the BSC website at www.hp.com/go/
hpux-serviceguard-docs.
vPars A.05.xx
See the ServiceGuard product documentation for the ServiceGuard version required for HP-UX 11i
v3; vPars itself has no special requirements.
vPars A.04.xx

vPars A.03.xx
ServiceGuard A.11.13 and later.
