Re: How to implement Lpars within Linux

Huy,

There are multiple choices in the HP world.

You can perform physical partitioning of an HP server (nPARs), or
logical partitioning of an HP server (vPARs). HP latest partitioning
schemes run more like vmware.

So for example you can run (on Itanium processors) Microsoft, Linux on
another partition, HP-UX on another, etc. You can even move logical
partitions between physcial servers.

The oder technology (nPARs and vPARs) is hardware dependent (not
supported on all hardware).

The newer technology is supported on the their Integrity Servers.

I am not sure whether any of this is supported on the proliant servers.
I don't believe that it is. So you may want to verify that before you
purchase hardware if your strategy is to run multiple virtual systems
on the same hardware.

One option (if your running LINUX only) is UML or user mode linux:

user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/

You can also use vmware running under linux to run multiple virtual
linux systems.
