OS License for NPARS

[jagdeesh]

Hi, I have a HP rp7410 server running HP-UX 11i. I want to partition it into 2 using NPARS.

1. Is there any license for NPARS ?
2. Do i need to buy additional OS license for the 2nd partition ?

Please guide me ...

Thanks in Advace.

As far as I know there is no seperate licenses to be purchased for nPars . When you buy the hardware if its nPar capable you have purchased the required license already. You just need the nPartition provider NPar bundle installed on your system.

That is correct.

The OS and any ancillary software you purchase is for your entire server frame - no matter how many hard (nPar) or soft (vPar) partitions you carve out of it.

vPars are licensed per CPU though.

So if you are licensed for 16 cpus - you can have however many virtual partitions running on your nPar whose CPU total is 16.
