Understanding HP-UX Potental

Good morning,
I worked with HP-UX a number of years ago doing DR support for Sungard, installing and setting up servers for customers to test on. Since then a number of years have past, virtualisation has become the norm, and many hardware platforms have changed to support this. Now I can find plenty of information about supporting/installing HP-UX, the commands, LVM and more but its not what I'm looking for. I'm trying to find some docs to help my understand what HP-UX can do, how the virtualisation works, the disk support, containers and more. For me I need to know its potential, maybe even more the sales sell that HP would want you to see.
The reason for this is that I've moved jobs, from building, supporting and consulting on systems to a more Architect and Design role, I'm familiar with IBM POWER Virtualisation as I've continued to support. that. So I'm looking to scope out environments and confirm what is possible for a new system builds and update current systems, not directly at the moment and all my work is checked but some resources to be pointed at would be great, its seems to be hard to find current information.

I hope that make sense, and thanks in advance for your help.

P.S. I'm already looking at the HP links page.

adt-virt-xenlvm

adt-virt-xenlvm(1)					     Linux Programmer's Manual						adt-virt-xenlvm(1)

NAME

       adt-virt-xenlvm - autopkgtest virtualisation server using Xen and LVM

SYNOPSYS

       adt-virt-xenlvm [options] -- [adt-xenlvm options]

DESCRIPTION

       adt-virt-xenlvm provides an autopkgtest virtualisation server using a Xen virtual machine and LVM snapshots.  It adapts the raw functional-
       ity provided by the adt-xenlvm-* tools for use by autopkgtest.

       Normally adt-virt-xenlvm will be invoked by adt-run.

       adt-virt-xenlvm uses adt-xenlvm-with-testbed and adt-xenlvm-on-testbed.	The testbed must have previously been set up with  adt-xenlvm-set-
       up.

       Neither	adt-virt-xenlvm nor adt-xenlvm-with-testbed do any locking; it is the the caller's responsibility not to attempt concurrent use of
       any particular testbed.

OPTIONS

       --distro=distro
	      Specifies a different distro (ie, the use of a different testbed).

       --nominum=nominum
	      Specifies a different nominum (ie, the use of a different testbed).

       --userv
	      Specifies that the adt-xenlvm tools should not be run directly, but rather via userv.  The calling user must  be	permitted  to  use
	      userv root adt-xenlvm-testbed.  In the default configuration, this means being a member of the AdtXenUs group.

       -- --adt-xenlvm-option=adt-xenlvm-value
	      Following  the  first  occurrence of -- on the adt-virt-xenlvm commandline, any of the values in the adt-xenlvm configuration may be
	      set in the usual way.  The arguments are simply passed to adt-virt-xenlvm.

	      See /usr/share/doc/autopkgtest-xenlvm/README.gz for full details of adt-xenlvm.

       -- -Dvarname=value
	      If --userv was specified, options following the first -- on the adt-virt-xenlvm commandline are passed as option arguments to userv.
	      These  should  normally be user-defined variable settings using -D which are expected by the autopkgtest-xenlvm/userv-target script.
	      Currently only distro and nominum are expected, and these can be set using adt-virt-xenlvm's own options.

       -d | --debug
	      Enables debugging output.  Probably not hugely interesting.

INPUT, OUTPUT AND EXIT STATUS
       The behaviour of adt-virt-xenlvm is as described by the AutomatedTesting virtualisation regime specification.
