That's a product I don't hear alot about and don't know alot about. It seemed to involve setting up what it called 'compartments' and allocated resources to it. But with what little I've read, it "seems" that HPUX SRP is Process Resource Manager a bit advanced. I'm wondering how things like Oracle licensing is handled and can it confirm that CPU utilization is locked down for use by one compartment or another.
While SRP can sit on top of a Virtual Machine or nPar or vPar, the opposite may not be the case. Again if this is on top of something like VM, and now your setting up CPU to the SRP compartment, how are things affected.

I recall one issue that if you put this on top of a VM (or other), that SRP could get into to problems with socket collisions or socket ownership. It could happen with one layer binding to a say to a daemon while the SRP may never be able to get it.

Like I said, it seemed like Process Resource Manager software with Bastille and other things added now.
But don't take my word for it, I didn't follow through on this software and went with Virtual Machines.

Rgrds,
Rita
