Hi Itik,
Lpars are virtual systems created on POWER systems from IBM. Lpars run their own OS and run independently from other LPARs on the same iron.
A vios is a lpar with a dedicated task: providing virtual storage devices to other LPARs. Depending on your needs you will install at least 1 vios and multiple lpars. Actual applications should normaliter be run in a lpar and not the vios.
Lpars are installed with a system called HMC.

NAME
subscription-manager-gui - Launches the UI client of the Subscription Manager.
SYNOPSIS
subscription-manager-gui [--register]
DESCRIPTION
subscription-manager-gui opens the local client tool to manage subscriptions and installed products on Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems.
The same tasks that can be performed by invoking subscription-manager can be performed in the GUI, including registering systems with a
subscription management service, applying and removing subscriptions, and viewing the subscription status of installed products.
The Subscription Manager UI can also be opened by selecting the Red Hat Subscription Manager item from the Applications > System Tools menu
in RHEL 5.x or the System > Administration menu in RHEL 6.x.
OPTIONS
--register
If a system has not yet been registered, then the GUI registration page can be opened immediately, as the Subscription Manager GUI
comes up. This is only relevant for unregistered systems; if this is used after a system is registered, the option is ignored.
REFERENCES
For procedures and tasks that can be performed in the Subscription Manager UI, check the Gnome help files (by pressing <F1>) or refer to
the RHEL Subscription Management Guide at <https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Subscription_Management/1.0/html/Sub-
scription_Management_Guide/index.html>.
