One and only one Host OS

2.Also How many max. VM Guests can I have on my VM Host.

That is a "how long is a piece of string " question. It will depend on the OS type, number of physical cpu's, physical memory etc., but more importantly upon the requirments you will have per VM

3.Is AVIO supported on a 11i V2 Host 7 a 11i V3 Guest or should both the OS's be similar.

AVIO is only supported for hP-UX currently, and there are different drivers for the Host and Guest OS. Get the latest from http://software.hp.com

4.Any document which gives the features of Integrity VM V4 release[which is yet to come in sept].

No!, these are not for customer consumption until the product is officially released.

5. Max. no. of CPU I can have in a BL860c.

For most of your questions you already have answers in your other thread!

1) there is always only 1 host, but many guests

2) # VMs per VM Hostâ Maximum min (20 * pCPUs, 254)

3) AVIO works with 11.23 and 11.31 guests

4) we all wait ...

5) max physical CPU for BL860c: 2x dual cores = 4 physical cores.
