vPar, WLM and PRM

[Shivkumar]

Dear Sirs,

We are using below 2 types of HPUX servers:-

9000/800/N4000-55
B.11.00


9000/800/L3000-8x
B.11.11

We are thinking to use vPar on these systems.
Just wanted to know upgrades are needed to implement vPar on these systems.

Second, are these machines are capable of implementation of vPar systems ?
Can we implement WLM and PRM to these systems ?

Thanks,
Shiv

Hi (again) Shiv:

That's not a problem. I posted a request to re-categorize your question in the December Forum Issues thread.

Cheryl Griffin (HP) currently manages the thread. It's generally called "Please Post Forums Issues - MONTH YEAR". December's is here:

There is also a monthly "successes" thread:

Various HP moderators *do* monitor these threads and will note any of the issues and/or successes you bring up.

James; Thanks a lot for guidance and help.
The HP's forum is really helping me to address my day-to-day problem.

This forum has helped me to direct my career.

If i knew about this forum i could have adopted my career in HPUX unix sys amdin long ago.

Now i have to massage my knowledge and uptodate my understanding with the help of the unix gurus on this forum.

I will switch over my career as a hpux sys admin in the future.

Thanks,
Shiv

Hi Shiv:

It appears that the wrong thread was removed by HP and my the information I pointed you toward vanished with it.

My response was "yes" vPars is available for the servers you mentioned on 11.11 and 11.23. The following links offer more information:

For 11.11:

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T1335AC

For 11.23:

It sounds to me vPar will be a better option than WLM/PRM ?

Any thoughts ??

[Arunvijai_4]

Yes, It is. vPARs are better

[Shivkumar]

is vPAR not preferred for mission critical or production implementation ? I was under the impression that vPAR is HP's reply to IBM's DLPAR for on demand computing and virtualization.

Thanks,
Shiv

Sir,

We have server model 9000/800/L3000-8x
with os version B.11.11.

Can we implement vPAR on this model ?

Regards,
Shiv

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi Shiv:

Yes, vPars for 11.11 is supported on L3000 servers. See here as previously noted:

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T1335AC

Respected James Sir,

We have 2 processors on the server. Will that be okay for vpar implementation ?

Regards,
Shiv

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi (again) Shiv!

You are too kind :-))

You may have 1 CPU per partition. A minimum of 256MB memory per partition is also required. This document gives more details:
