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

on the HP-UX Virtual Partition CD and is available from
the HP Software Depot.
4.4.8 Online Diagnostics Versions
To run the Support Tools package on a vPars server, you need the STM versions listed in this
section.
vPars A.05.xx See the Support Tools product documentation for the Support Tools version
required for HP-UX 11i v3; vPars itself has no special requirements.
vPars A.04.xx STM C.48.00 or later (available from the HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 Update or
later).
vPars A.03.xx STM A.43.00 or later (along with patch PHSS_28252 or its successor).
4.4.9 High Availability and ServiceGuard
Both ServiceGuard and hardware failover capabilities are supported in HP-UX Virtual Partitions.
NOTE: The individual server usage and mission criticality should be considered in the failover
design. (i.e. because HP-UX Virtual Partitions does not include hardware isolation, it does not
provide the same level of isolation as failovers between either two separate machines or
nPartitions).
See the HA vPars design white paper ServiceGuard Cluster Configuration for Partitioned Systems,
available at http://www.docs.hp.com/hpux/ha/index.html.
vPars A.05.xx See the ServiceGuard product documentation for the ServiceGuard version
required for HP-UX 11i v3; vPars itself has no special requirements.
vPars A.04.xx ServiceGuard A.11.16 and later.
vPars A.03.xx ServiceGuard A.11.13 and later.
