Summary: NOT A Vpars Bible
Comment: Having already read much literature on Vpars, I found Mr. Paniotowski's Virtual Partition Book to be no more than adequate on the primary subject matter. At 1000+ pages there is a enormous amount information dedicated to all things HP-UX - and most of this is non-vpars specific. Not that I don't appreciate the lagniappe, but the book reads like an "HP-UX Guide to Systems Administration" rather than a "Guru's Insight Into Virtual Partitions". If you are looking to gain insight into Vpars and the SuperDome, you'll get a whopping 14 pages dedicated to this subject matter as Paniotowski based nearly all of his work on the L and N class systems. On a positive note, after reading the few chapters that were actually dedicated to vpars, I did learn a few things that I had not come across in other literature. Paniotowski needs to produce a 2nd Edition of this book that focuses exclusively on Virtual Partitions and has far more subject manner dedicated to the SuperDome.

Summary: THE Guide to Virtual Partitions
Comment: Most HP-UX professionals recognize Marty Poniatowski as the premier source for system administration guidance. Now, Marty helps us understand the new field of Virtual Partitioning. His book is a perfect guide to "vPars", showing not only how to configure them, but also showing why you need to learn about this product. Marty points out the many benefits organizations can gain by splitting one physical system into several smaller virtual systems. Among these are increased system utilization, server consolidation, and the ability to easily migrate between a development and production environment.
I work with an HP Channel Partner and can say that several of my customers have implemented vPars on equipment that was underutilized. For example, servers that were only running at 20 percent of capacity are now running several instances of HP-UX and utilizing 60 to 70 percent of their capacity.
Marty not only gives you the commands you need to configure vPars, but helps you understand the prerequisites for partitioning a system. He also guides you through many other system administration tasks which you must modify in order to best utilize your "virtual systems".
I can't say enough in this space to do justice to this book. Read it, YOU and your company will benefit.

Summary: Another Great HP Reference
Comment: This book was exactly what I was looking for - clearly written, technically detailed and accurate. Plenty of practical information and examples.
The book has a nice intro section which would be useful to readers who are new to the concepts of Virtual Partitioning of server resources.
Marty has written this with several other experts. He has lots of practical experience and it shows in his explanations.
Lots of useful screen shots and a bunch of additional technical resources provided.
