NOTE: HP Integrity servers running the new HP sx3000 chipset are quad core (4 cores per processor or per socket), but HP-UX licensing is per socket or per processor. Therefore, one per socket software license is required for each quad-core processor. The processor and the socket represent a processing unit, and includes 4 cores. Though vPars can be created from the OA without purchasing a vPar license, HP does not support such configurations. Attempting to boot HP-UX in a vPar without purchasing a vPar license can cause unpredictable behavior and must be avoided. Related software licensing Customers can purchase the HP-UX OS or the application software that runs within vPars, using the following options: 1. Per nPartition Licensing: allows licensing of the HP-UX 11i software to be based on the number of active processors in the nPartition. 2. HP-UX 11i Software Virtualization Licensing: allows customers to purchase software licenses for the maximum number of sockets that software is planned or configured to be run on. For more information on HP-UX software licensing, including Virtualization Licensing for HP-UX, see: http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/us/en/os/hpux11i-oe-software-licensing.html? jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN Ordering vPars While vPars is available as a standalone layered product, HP recommends that you purchase it as part of the VSE-OE (Virtual Server Environment OE) or the DC-OE (Data Center OE). The OEs provide the highest level of integration, robust management and ease of use for an HP-UX virtualized environment, and saves the cost of buying individual layered products. vPars is also available as part of the Insight Dynamics Virtual Server Environment for Integrity. nPartition and Virtual Partition unique identifiers • Unique Machine (Complex) Identifier /usr/bin/getconf _CS_MACHINE_IDENT • Unique nPartition Identifier /usr/bin/getconf _CS_PARTITION_IDENT • Unique Virtual Partition Identifier /usr/bin/getconf _CS_PARTITION_IDENT • Machine (Complex) Serial Number /usr/bin/getconf _CS_MACHINE_SERIAL and /usr/sbin/parstatus -X • Server (Complex) Product Number /usr/sbin/parstatus -X • Machine (Complex) Hardware Model /usr/bin/getconf MACHINE_MODEL and /usr/bin/model • HP-UX Version and Installed Bundles For the HP-UX version: /usr/bin/uname -r For all bundles installed: /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle 14 Partitioning in HP Superdome 2
