Cases where logging occurs Logging occurs when the commands either change or affect the state of partitions. The commands include parcreate, parmodify, parremove, vparboot, vparcreate, vparenv, vparremove, vparmodify, and vparreset. Constraints and restrictions to logging • The command line text will be logged on only the partition from which the command was executed. The logging of the command will not be duplicated to the target syslog file (the syslog file of the target partition. For example, if the vparmodify command is executed from vPar1 with the target partition as vPar2 (vparmodify -p vPar2 ...), the syslog entries will appear in the log file of vPar1; they will not be logged in the log file of vPar2. • The command line text for partition commands executed from the OS is not duplicated in the syslog of the OA. The OA syslog reflects only the commands run from OA. The OS syslog reflects only commands run from the OS. • Error messages from the failure of a partition command execution are logged in the OA syslog. Ordering and licensing This section describes the ordering and licensing of the HP-UX Virtual Partitions software and the software that runs within the vPars (the HP-UX 11i Operating Environment, and the HP-UX 11i application software). nPartitions licensing nPartitions do not require licensing. When you license a software product to run on an HP server, you might need to provide machine or system details to the software vendor as part of the software registration process.

Virtual Partitions licensing On HP Integrity Superdome 2 servers, the HP-UX Virtual Partitions product that enables you to manage vPars from HP-UX is sold on a per-socket licensing basis. Therefore, you purchase the same quantity of this product as the number of active sockets in your nPartitions (or non-nPartitioned server) that runs vPars. If you purchase additional processing sockets, you must also purchase the corresponding number of per-socket licenses of vPars. You can purchase vPars: 1. As part of the HP-UX 11i v3 Virtual Server environment-OE (VSE-OE) 2. As part of the HP-UX 11i v3 Data Center-OE (DC-OE) 3. As part of the Insight Dynamics - VSE Suite 4.

Cases where logging occurs
Logging occurs when the commands either change or affect the state of partitions.
The commands include
parcreate
,
parmodify
,
parremove
,
vparboot
,
vparcreate
,
vparenv
,
vparremove
,
vparmodify
, and
vparreset
.
Constraints and restrictions to logging
The command line text will be logged on only the partition from which the command was
executed. The logging of the command will not be
duplicated
to the target
syslog
file (the
syslog
file of the target partition.
For example, if the
vparmodify
command is executed from vPar1 with the target partition
as vPar2 (
vparmodify -p vPar2 ...
), the
syslog
entries will appear in the log file of
vPar1; they will not be logged in the log file of vPar2.
The command line text for partition commands executed from the OS is not duplicated in the
syslog of the OA. The OA syslog reflects only the commands run from OA. The OS syslog
reflects only commands run from the OS.
Error messages from the failure of a partition command execution are logged in the OA syslog.
