HP-UX zones

[Mohan Radhakrishnan]

What is the HP-UX equivalent of Solaris zones ? Is it possible to segregate applications thereby confining a hacker to one or the other zones ?

We use WebLogic.

If the Solaris Zones you are referring to is the ability for the O/S to control workload and limit system resources, then yes HP has products that do this - Process Resource Management is what jumps into my mind.

Are you talking about being able to isolate an application/user to a small sub-set of the OS instance?
The Secure Resource Partitions (SRP) may be what you are looking for.

I was referring to the features described in

Hi,

Secure Resource Partitions is the equivalent of Suns Solaris zones.
