I did not restrict this book to covering only Virtual Partitions (vPars) related material. I cover many HP-UX 11i system administration topics and the way in which they are affected by vPars. This is, however, not a complete HP-UX 11i system administration book. The HP-UX 11i System Administration Handbook and Toolkit is a complete system administration guide that you may want to consider as a companion to this book. It also contains a UNIX® section as well as an HP-UX and Windows® interoperabilty section.
Each chapter starts with partition-specific information and later in the chapter contains background information on the topic. In the chapter covering booting partitions, for instance, I first cover topics specifically related to booting partitions. Later in the chapter I cover booting in general. Covering both the partition-specific information related to a topic and then background information on the same topic gives you most of what you need to know to successfully deal with partitions.
