HP Integrity Virtual Machines (Integrity VM) is a soft partitioning and virtualization technology, within the HP Virtual Server Environment, which enables you to create multiple virtual servers or machines with shared resourcing within a single HP Integrity server or nPartition.

This type of virtualization technology enables you to:

  • Maximize server utilization and resource flexibility
  • Consolidate enterprise-class servers
  • Rapidly deploy new environments
  • Improve cost of ownership
  • Isolate operating environments

HP Integrity VM provides:

  • Software fault and security isolation
  • Shared processor and I/O
  • Automatic dynamic resource allocation based on demand and entitlement
  • Dynamic memory migration

Each virtual machine hosts its own "guest" operating system instance, applications, and users.

HP Integrity Virtual Machines runs on any HP Integrity server (including blades). Integrity VM v3.5 supports the following guests (at this time):


»  HP-UX 11i v2 & v3
»  Windows Server 2003 (SP1 and SP2)
»  RHEL AP 4.4 , 4.5, and 4.6 (with March 2008 patch)
»  SLES10 SP1

In addition, Integrity VM (as of v3.5) provides Accelerated Virtual I/O (AVIO) which streamlines I/O processing for Integrity VM environments, for improved I/O performance and increased storage capacity. At this point, there are AVIO networking & storage drivers for HP-UX 11i v2 guests, and an AVIO networking driver for HP-UX 11i v3 guests.
