1.9 Using the vPars and Integrity VM documentation
The vPars and Integrity VM product bundle includes several useful sources of information, whether
you are considering how to set up your vPar or VM, or determining how to upgrade the installation.
1.9.1 Integrity VM commands
Integrity VM commands provide a convergence point for vPars and Integrity VM. You can use
Integrity VM commands to create, clone, start, and manage not only VMs, but also vPars. You can
use vPars commands (whose manpages are listed in Table 4 (page 25)) to manage only vPars.
Integrity VM commands provide a superset of features to accommodate both VMs and vPars.
For online information about using Integrity VM commands, see the following manpages on the
VSP system.
