Course overview

This course covers hard partioning (nPars) and virtual partitioning (vPars) management along with Integrity Virtual Machines (HP VM) on cell-based HP 9000 and Integrity servers. The 4-day course is 50 percent lecture and 50 percent hands-on labs using HP servers.

Please note: This course includes the content of the course, HP Integrity Virtual Machines, (HB506S).


Prerequisites

  • HP-UX System and Network Administration I (H3064S) and HP-UX System and Network Administration II (H3065S) or
  • HP-UX System and Network Administration for Experienced UNIX System Administrators (H5875S) or
  • Equivalent experience

Audience

  • Experienced HP-UX system administrators

Ways to save

Course Objectives

  • Identify the hardware and software components of HP’s Virtual Server Environment (VSE)
  • Configure and manage node partitions (nPars)
  • Configure and manage virtual partitions (vPars)
  • Configure and manage HP Integrity Virtual Machines
  • Use Ignite-UX to install Integrity Virtual Machines and vPars

Benefits to you

  • Determine and utilize the appropriate combination of HP Partitioning Continuum technologies that best meet your data center needs
  • Learn how to configure, modify, and remove partitions on Integrity and HP 9000 servers
  • Increase server flexibility and utilization by knowing how to easily reconfigure and resize partitions
  • Learn how to use Integrity VM to set up isolated virtual machines as test environments to reduce the time required to deploy new applications or application revisions
  • Gain valuable hands-on experience with installing HP Virtual Machines on a properly configured Integrity server

Next Steps

  • HP-UX Virtualization Tools Boot Camp (HF869S) or consider attending the other courses in the HP Virtual Server Environment (VSE) curriculum to learn more about HP-UX virtualization
