Hypervisor Physical Hardware Management
The hypervisor implements functions that manage aspects of the underlying physical hardware. For more information about these functions, see Hardware Management Functions.

In some cases, the hypervisor delegates hardware management responsibilities to the root partition.
The following sections describe the hypervisor's implementation of physical hardware management:
