HP-UX Virtual Partitions Ordering and Configuration Guide (v09.06.16)

4.4.1 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.
4.4.2 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.
The latest documentation for the Virtual Server Environment, including VSE Management
Software and HP partitioning products, is available at the following website:
http://docs.hp.com/en/vse.html
4.4.3 Ignite-UX Version
vPars A.05.xx See the Ignite-UX product documentation for the Ignite-UX version required
for HP-UX 11i v3; vPars itself has no special requirements. At this time, HP-UX 11i v3 requires
Ignite-UX version C.7.1.x or later.
vPars A.04.xx Ignite-UX version C.6.2.241 or later is required.
NOTE: Do not use Ignite-UX version C.6.3.xx. For the latest version of Ignite-UX, see Ignite-UX
at the Software Depot website at http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot.
NOTE: Ignite-UX C.6.8 or later will not work with vPars A.04.01 on PA-RISC systems. Either
use an Ignite version earlier than C.6.8 and later than C.6.2.241 or upgrade to vPars A.04.02.
vPars A.03.xx Ignite-UX version B.3.7 or later is required.
4.4.4 WLM Version
For detailed information on WLM compatibilities including required versions, see the WLM
product Release Notes available at http://www.hp.com/go/wlm.
• When using vPars, WLM, and iCAP on the same system, you will need the following
minimum versions:
— vPars A.03.01 or later
— WLM A.03.00 or later
— iCAP B.06.01 or later for nPartitionable servers.
iCAP B.05.01 or later for non-nPartitionable servers.

minimum versions:
— vPars A.04.01 or later

— iCAP B.07.00 or later
A virtual partition can be resized automatically based on application performance using WLM.
The white paper Sizing vPars Automatically with HP-UX Workload Manager provides details on
how to use WLM to accomplish this. The white paper can be found at http://docs.hp.com/en/
vse.html#Virtual%20Partitions as well as in the information library section of the WLM web page
