vPar Provider
The HP-UX vPar Provider is a HP WBEM Services for HP-UX provider introduced in the
HP-UX 11i v2 release for extracting information about virtual partitions on a system. As
it is a read-only provider, clients cannot modify virtual partition configurations. This
provider can be used through a Web-based Enterprise Management (WBEM) interface.
The vPar Provider always gets the data from the default virtual partition database
located at /stand/vpdb or from the database where virtual partitions are booted from.
The vPar Provider talks to the nPar Provider to get information of I/O assigned to virtual
partitions and to determine whether or not it is running on an nPar. If the nPar Provider
is down, then it will not provide this information.
The vPar Provider uses the namespace root/cimv2/vpar. The vPar Provider library and
Managed Object Format (MOF) files are stored under the /opt/vparprovider/lib and
/opt/vparprovider/mof directories respectively.
The vPar Provider is delivered as a library
(/opt/vparprovider/lib/libHPVParProvider.1) through the vParProvider bundle. It
depends on the HP WBEM Services for HP-UX product. This release of vPar Provider is
supported on all HP server systems that support HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars).
