HP Integrity VM is Itanium-only software. It isn't available for PA-RISC.
CPU is shared via entitlement percentage, with minimum and maximum thresholds.
Memory is dedicated. For example, if you have a HP-VM host with 32 GB of RAM, and you left 8 GB for the Host, that leaves 24 GB free for creating VM's. You could make 3 VM's, each with 8 GB. (there is actually a tiny % overhead for each VM, so the numbers are exactly as clean as my example, but "close enough").
Disk can be shared in the sense that a VM can reside on a whole physical disk (what we're doing, with LVM mirroring) or on an LVM partition, or as a file on a filesystem.
Network can be either dedicated or shared, via virtual switches.
You are correct, 2 GB total is not enough to create any VM's.
Our production systems have been running since 2008 on rx6600's with 128 GB of RAM and 8 cores. We have four of these physical machines, running ~20 virtual machines. We've found it to be a robust and reliable platform. The OS licensing is also favorable - you can create as many virtual machines as you want - there is no per-VM OS licensing for virtual machines.
