vPars Synopsis
The vPars (Virtual Partitions) product allows you to run multiple instances of HP-UX
simultaneously on one server or nPartition by dividing a server or nPartition into virtual
partitions. Each virtual partition is assigned its own subset of hardware, runs a separate
instance of HP-UX, and hosts its own set of applications. vPars provides application and OS
(operating system) fault isolation.
