Hi,

vPars is only supported on cell-based servers (except the old N4000 and L3000).

You cannot use your rp3440 with vPars - see
http://docs.hp.com/en/1705/oc.pdf page 14 (supported servers).

Saravanan,

There is no way to break up a rp3440 into multiple OS instances. None of HP's virtualisation software will allow you to do this on an entry level PA-RISC syste. If you were on Integrity then you could look at Integrity Virtual Machines:

But as you are on PA-RISC your only optin for any kind of resource seperation would be to look at Secure Resource Partitions on 11iv2:

This uses PRM and secuirity containment to break out resources into multiple seperate workloads with some security between them (think like Solaris zones except with just a single namespace across all SRPs)
