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 1 1i Operating Environment, and the HP-UX 1 1i
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.
This section describes how to obtain the information you might need when licensing non-HP software
to run on an HP Superdome 2 server.
For complete information about software product licensing, refer to the company that manufactures
or sells the software you plan to use.

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 1 1i v3 Virtual Server environment-OE (VSE-OE)
2. As part of the HP-UX 1 1i v3 Data Center-OE (DC-OE)
3. As part of the Insight Dynamics – VSE Suite
4. Or stand-alone, as T1335DC (software product bundle)
