F Using PRM with
HP Integrity Virtual Machines
HP Integrity Virtual Machines (Integrity VM) is a robust soft
partitioning and virtualization technology that provides operating
systems isolation, shared CPU (with sub-CPU granularity), shared I/O,
and automatic, dynamic resource allocation. It is available for
HP-UX 11i v2 and later running on HP Integrity servers.
Given a system with Integrity VM installed, you can run PRM inside any
of the virtual machines; however, you cannot run PRM on the VM host as
the vm_fssagt already controls FSS groups on behalf of Integrity VM.
NOTE Do not specify disk bandwidth records for configurations used inside
virtual machines.
The following figure illustrates where PRM can be used:
