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. 2.3.1 vPars A.05.xx Releases vPars A.05.05 • vPars A.05.05 adds support for vPars configuration based on Locally Optimized Reference Architecture (LORA) on Multi cell Integrity systems.
• vPars A.05.03. Agile addressing support is only provided for lunpath hardware paths, not for LUN hardware paths. Use of LUN hardware paths will result in an error. HP-UX now supports read-only use of optical media via an iLO 2 MP on HP Integrity servers based on the sx2000 chipset, including rx7640, rx8640, and HP Integrity Superdome servers. vPars A.05.03 supports all the standard iLO 2 MP features that are supported by HP-UX, including the Lights Out Advanced features of vMedia.
“Mixed HP-UX 11i v2/v3 vPars” section in the “Planning” chapter of the HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator’s Guide. • Obsolescence Notes vPars A.03.02 is no longer supported. See “Obsolescence of vPars Releases” (page 20). Servers that are not nPartitionable are not supported under A.05.01. These servers are the rp5470/L3000, rp5405, and rp7400/N4000. See “Servers” (page 24). These servers remain supported for A.03.xx and A.04.xx. 2.3.2 vPars A.04.xx Releases vPars A.04.06 vPars A.04.
• Support for PA-RISC Servers Using the HP sx2000 Chipset Support for the following PA-RISC servers using the HP sx2000 chipset: rp7440, rp8440, and HP 9000 Superdome. • Pre-enablement of SCSI Tape Boot and Recovery for Integrity Servers On Integrity servers running vPars A.04.04, you are pre-enabled to use tape devices from within the vPars environment—this includes recovery using tape devices.
For more information, see “Operating Systems” (page 23). • Support for both HP Integrity and PA-RISC servers (firmware update may be required). These Integrity servers are supported: — HP Integrity Superdome servers — rx8620 — rx7620 These PA-RISC servers are supported: — — — — — HP 9000 Superdomes (PA-RISC) rp8420 and rp8400 rp7420, rp7410, and rp7405 rp7400/N4000 rp5470/L3000 For information, see “Hardware” (page 24).
For more information, see the “Flexible Administrative Capability” chapter in HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator’s Guide. • Support for Tape Devices For more information, see the recovery chapter in HP-UX Virtual Partitions Administrator’s Guide. • Customer-requested Defect Fixes For more information, see the HP-UX Virtual Partition Release Notes for this release. vPars A.03.02 vPars A.03.

4.2.4 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.
4.3 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. 4.3.6 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.
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.
4.4.5 iCAP Version NOTE: When using dual-core Intel® Itanium® (Montecito) systems, iCAP requires iCAP version 8.x or higher.
