2 Overview of Virtual Partitions HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars) is a powerful tool that runs multiple instances of the HP-UX 11i Operating Environment (OE) simultaneously on one server or nPartition, where each virtual partition: • has its own assigned set of CPU (processing core), memory, and I/O resources (resource isolation) • runs its own separate instance of HP-UX with different patch levels (HP-UX kernel isolation) • hosts its own set of applications in a fully isolated environment (application isol
For customers that are using previous versions of vPars, HP strongly recommends that you update to the latest supported vPars version to take advantage of new features and product improvements. vPars A.05.xx Releases vPars A.05.07 • Extends support to HP Superdome2 Integrity servers and also fixes customer reported problems and internally found defects. For more details about partitioning information on HP Superdome2, see the HP Superdome 2 Partitioning Release Notes and HP Superdome2 Administrator Guide.
• Starting with vPars A.05.03, the HP-UX 11i v3 vPars software is distributed on the HP-UX 11i v3 Operating Environment media. vPars A.05.03 is distributed via the new Virtual Server OE (VSE-OE) and the new Data Center OE (DC-OE). There is no longer a separate HP-UX 11i v3 Virtual Partitions DVD. • Support for mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2/v3 vPars environments on PA-RISC systems only. A mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2/v3 vPars environment allows you to have a vPars A.05.
virtual partition is UP). By default, all memory assigned to a virtual partition during vPar creation or memory addition, is considered base memory. For more information, see the A.05.01 Resources chapter in the HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide. • Hyperthreading Hyperthreading can be enabled in a vPars environment if the processor hardware supports it. Each vPar OS and applications will be able to take advantage of CPU-threading, just as in an nPartitions environment.
• Support for mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars environments. Beginning with vPars A.04.05, you can can have a mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars environment. A mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars environment enables you to have a vPars A.04.05 Monitor and database that supports both virtual partitions running vPars A.04.05 on HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23) and virtual partitions running vPars A.03.05 on HP-UX 11i v1 (11.11). For detailed information, see the “Mixed HP-UX 11i v1/v2 vPars Environments in vPars A.04.
vPars A.04.01 vPars A.04.01 adds support for the following: • Support for HP-UX 11i v2 (11.23) on both the PA-RISC and Integrity platforms: — vPars A.04.xx requires HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 Update or later — vPars A.03.xx continues to support HP-UX 11i v1 Note that vPars A.04.xx and vPars A.03.xx have different product numbers: T1335BC vPars A.04.xx for HP-UX 11i v2 T1335AC vPars A.03.xx and vPars A.02.xx for HP-UX 11i v1 For more information, see “Operating Systems” (page 23).
vPars A.03.03 vPars A.03.03 adds support for: • 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.
3 Purchasing and Licensing This section describes the licensing and the vPars releases that are currently supported. vPars Licensing The HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars) product is sold on a Per Core Licensing basis. Therefore, you purchase the same quantity of this product as the number of active processing cores in your nPartitions or non-nPartitioned system that will be running vPars.

Number of Virtual Partitions per nPartition The recommended number of virtual partitions per nPartition is equal up to one-half the installed CPUs (processing cores) in the nPartition in order to meet I/O and memory requirements and to allow for cores that can be used for dynamic processing core migration. The maximum number of virtual partitions per system is the number of processing cores given the limits specified in Table 4-8.
Table 4-8 Maximum Number of Virtual Partitions Per Server Server Model Maximum Number of Virtual Partitions rp5470/L3000, rp5405 4 virtual partitions per system. rp7400/N4000 8 virtual partitions per system using the combination card A5838A (PCI 2-Port 100Base-T 2-Port Ultra2 SCSI) for boot. 7 virtual partitions when not using the combo cards. rp7405, rp7410 8 virtual partitions per system. This is a 2-cell system. rp7420, rp7440, rx7620, rx7640 8 virtual partitions per nPartition.
Supported Cards Boot Recommendations After the boot of the initial virtual partition, it is recommended that the deployment tool Ignite-UX be used to boot the other virtual partitions. Boot Constraints Beyond the recommendation above, tape, CD/DVD, and lan/bootp booting (except through Ignite-UX) of virtual partitions within a vPars environment are not supported.

NOTE: The offline I/O card and diagnostic utilities such as FCFUPDATE and IODIAG.efi do not work in vPars mode. You should remain in nPars mode to run these utilities. Mass Storage Devices Storage devices supported for boot and dump within HP-UX on servers without vPars are also supported for boot and dump within a vPars environment with exceptions noted below. vPars A.05.xx, vPars A.04.xx No exceptions.
vPars A.05.xx, vPars A.04.xx J3525A (X.25) cards cannot be used with vPars on Integrity systems at this time (see JAGag33474). You must use the firmware version that is noted in the A.03.xx section below (or a later firmware version). vPars A.03.xx • The following interconnect hubs and switches are supported with vPars as follows. • Switch or Hub Firmware Version (If Applicable) FC S10 hub — Brocade 2400/2800 1Gb 2.6.1c Brocade 3800 1Gb/2Gb 3.1.1c Brocade 12000 4.0.2b, 4.1.
Application Certification Applications running on top of HP-UX using vPars run the same as when run on HP-UX native-mode (standalone). No changes, recompilation, or re-certification are required for applications running in the virtual partitions unless otherwise noted. VSE Management Software For system requirements and installation procedures related to the Virtual Server Environment (VSE) Management Software, refer to the VSE Management Software Installation and Update Guide.
iCAP Version NOTE: When using dual-core Intel® Itanium® (Montecito) systems, iCAP requires iCAP version 8.x or higher. For more information, please see the iCAP v8.x product release notes available at http://docs.hp.com. vPars A.05.xx HP-UX 11i v3 systems require iCAP version 8.01.x or higher; vPars itself has no special requirements. vPars A.04.xx For vPars A.04.xx and iCAP B.07.xx, see the A.04.xx resources chapter of the HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator Guide for information on using iCAP B.07.
