HP-UX Virtual Partitions Ordering and Configuration Guide (March 2010)

• Flexible Administrative Capability (formerly called Primary-Admin vPars Security)
This allows administrators to designate which virtual partitions allow superusers to run
virtual partition commands that affect other virtual partitions. It has been renamed from a
security feature to this as it is not intended to replace current HP-UX security applications.
For more information, see the “Flexible Administrative Capability” chapter in HP-UX Virtual
Partitions Administrator Guide.
• Support for Tape Devices
For more information, see the recovery chapter in HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator
Guide.
