HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars)

Tags:
linux server os

Overview For effective partitioning, it's necessary to isolate operating environments such that multiple customers' applications can coexist in the same server or cluster, while assuring complete privacy. In addition, it's often necessary to dynamically create, modify or even delete the isolated operating environments on a running server without interrupting non-related partitions. To meet this need, HP has developed HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars), a technology that provides application (including name space) and operating systems isolation. This white paper describes vPars, its features, operational overview, its compatibility and other related information.
