vPARs on rx6600

[PAUL FARINELLI]

Can vPARs (not HP-VM) be created on rx6600?

[Pete Randall · Accepted solution]

According to the "Ordering and Configuration Guidelines" (sorry, I don't have the URL at the moment) - no. This may simply be an omission since they tend to list the most current models, but they do go as far back as L3000/N4000.

Vpar supported starting on rp 5405 5470 ..and so on rx6600 as well.

Paul,

As Pete pointed out, the rx6600 doesn't support vPars. This is documented in the vPars ordering and configuration guide:

http://docs.hp.com/en/1705/oc.pdf

The rp54xx was an exception in that it is the only HP server which isn't cell based to support vPars. rp54xx and rx6600 aren't really related in any way.

If you want to run multiple OSs on this system, look at Integrity Virtual Machines which are supported on rx6600:
