HP VSE Support for Multiple Operating Systems


HP Integrity servers support four Operating Systems HP-UX, Linux, MS Windows and OpenVMS. It is the goal of the VSE to support all of these operating systems with most or all of these solutions. Practically speaking that is not possible due to the fact that there are underlying features required in the operating system that are not always available.

HP's flagship operating system is HP-UX. HP has spent many years building into HP-UX the security, reliability, performance and virtualization features required by their mission-critical customers. Because HP has full control of the code base for HP-UX, this is consistently where these VSE products are first provided. When there are sufficient features in the other operating systems to support the technologies, they are then ported and tested to support those as well.

Throughout this book we have made an effort to be clear as to which operating systems are supported for each of the products and solutions that make up the Virtual Server Environment. The support for operating systems other than HP-UX will evolve over time as features are added to the other operating systems that make it possible to support more of these VSE solutions.
