1 Introduction This document helps you understand and use HP Integrity Virtual Server Manager. The audience for this document includes system administrators and others responsible for maintaining an Integrity VM and resources. You must be familiar with the HP Integrity VM (Integrity VM) product and HP-UX system administration using either HP SMH or HP Systems Insight Manager.
manage VMs or vPars, and to monitor and evaluate data and resources at the level of the Virtual Server Platform (VSP). You can view all of a VSP's VMs or vPars and their assigned resources, and you can view all resources assigned to a specific virtual partition (machine) or virtual switch. For example, Integrity Virtual Server Manager provides graphical views of virtual-to-physical network and storage devices so that you can view I/O data, including resource utilization information.
You can access Integrity Virtual Server Manager from a browser, using any of the two web-based software components (depending on the bundle installed): • HP System Management Homepage (HP SMH) Integrity Virtual Server Manager is installed separately on any given VSP to manage that Integrity VSP and its VMs or vPars. You access Integrity Virtual Server Manager from a browser that can connect over the network to that VSP. Figure 1 shows how Integrity Virtual Server Manager is configured and used with HP SMH.
Figure 2 Integrity Virtual Server Manager with HP Systems Insight Manager and the HP Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX In this environment, you can use Integrity Virtual Server Manager in seamless integration with other Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX components. These interlinking components enhance the functionality and flexibility of your virtual server environment.
HP-UX. It simplifies the deployment of automated workload management policies across multiple servers, and provides centralized monitoring and reporting and improved server utilization to assist in meeting your service level objectives. Using Integrity Virtual Server Manager with Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX, you can create, view, and modify gWLM policies for VMs or vPars.
2 Installing Integrity Virtual Server Manager This chapter discusses how to install Integrity Virtual Server Manager on your system or on the systems you will manage, including setup and software requirements, licensing requirements, and how to set WBEM security credentials. System and software requirements System requirements for the VSP, VMs, and vPars are described in the HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM Administrator Guide manual.
• The VM Provider provides VSP and guest configuration data. This information is delivered using WBEM. To use Integrity Virtual Server Manager to view configuration data, install the VM Provider (VMProvider bundle) that is provided with Integrity VM. Install the VM Provider on the VSP and on each VM or vPar when you install the HP Integrity VM product. If you upgrade Integrity VM, be sure to keep the VM Provider up to date, too.
#/usr/sbin/swlist VMMGR NOTE: Beginning with the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009 Operating Environment Update Release (OEUR), you can optionally install Integrity Virtual Server Manager on HP SMH as part of the VSE-OE or DC-OE. Licensing requirements The licensing requirements for Integrity Virtual Server Manager on HP SMH include the following: On HP SMH, Integrity Virtual Server Manager is installed separately on a VSP. You must have a license for Integrity VM and have Integrity VM installed on that VSP.
Setting WBEM credentials in HP Systems Insight Manager Any VMs or vPars that are not managed nodes do not have any credentials available, and Integrity Virtual Server Manager cannot contact them. These machines are displayed, but some of the information that can be gathered from the managed nodes is not displayed for non-managed nodes. You can set credentials in HP Systems Insight Manager for a global configuration across multiple systems by selecting Options→Protocol Settings→Global Protocol Settings...
You can also save the user name and password entries in obscured format in the file system. This allows you to use the same setting each time you enter Integrity Virtual Server Manager through HP SMH. To save these entries, select the Save user name and password settings in the file system check box, and then click OK. This information is obfuscated before being stored. If you do not want to provide this security information for the current session, click Cancel.
When a utilization meter is dimmed, a label next to the meter indicates the probable cause. These labels and status indicators are described in “Utilization meter status/error information” (page 141). Virtual LAN interface I/O utilization on the VM or vPar Properties Network tab: For a VM or vPar with invalid credentials, either the No Perm. or No Data label appears next to the meter.
1. Locate the WBEM services provider certificate file (cert.pem) on the VM or vPar to which you want to connect. To find the correct file, open the WBEM services Provider configuration file, which can be found in the following locations: • For Windows: %PEGASUS_HOME%\cimserver_current.conf • For HP-UX: $PEGASUS_HOME/cimserver_current.conf (The default value for PEGASUS_HOME on HP-UX is /var/opt/wbem.) The location of the server certificate file is configured by the sslCertificateFilePath setting.
3 Accessing and Navigating Integrity Virtual Server Manager You access Integrity Virtual Server Manager through a web browser. This chapter explains how to access Integrity Virtual Server Manager from HP SMH and HP SIM. This chapter also explains how to access Integrity Virtual Server Manager help.

In addition, HP strongly recommends that AVIO components (such as drivers and libraries) on the VM and VSP be updated to the latest release of the OS. If the VM OS is Windows or Linux, install additional AVIO-compatible drivers on the VM; the Windows and Linux AVIO drivers include instructions for installing the drivers on VMs.
NOTE: If the VM is being managed by gWLM, you cannot modify the vCPU entitlement. When you access the Virtual Machine vCPU Entitlement page, the following error message is displayed, where virtual-machine-name is the name of the VM: The processor entitlement for VM virtual-machine-name cannot be modified because it is being managed by gWLM. To adjust the processor entitlement for this VM, use gWLM to change the policy associated with this VM.
NOTE: The list of possible backing devices for the storage device you want to add can include file and directory backing devices that have not been associated with a particular VM or vPar, or that were associated with VMs or vPars that have been removed or from which the associated virtual devices have been removed. You can create a file as a backing storage device for a virtual disk. You can add DVD burners, tape devices, and changers if they are emulated SCSI adapters; they are added as attached devices.
Figure 59 Modify VM Type to vPar — Step 1 2. From the Modify menu, select Guest Type. Figure 60 Modify VM Type to vPar — Step 2 Figure 61 displays all the conversion details for the VM type selected: Figure 61 Modify VM Type to vPar — Step 3 Conversion details are as follows: • Guest Name: Indicates the present guest name selected for conversion. • Current Type: Indicates the current guest type (VM) used for conversion. • Proposed Type: Indicates the proposed conversion type (vPar).
Figure 62 Modify VM Type to vPar — Step 4 Online Migration between Itanium 9300 and Itanium 9500 This section guides you to modify online migration between Itanium 9300 and Itanium 9500 based systems for the selected VM. Modify Online Migration between Itanium 9300 and Itanium 9500 To modify a virtual machine’s Migration between Itanium 9300 and Itanium 9500 attribute: 1. From the VSP General tab, select VSP Virtual Servers tab and select the VM to modify. Alternatively, navigate to the VM Properties tab.
NOTE: The modified value appears when the virtual machine is started the next time. Starting VMs Starting a VM starts the virtual hardware for the VM. The VM enters an On state (powered on). The Start and Restart functions are similar except the Start function does not stop and restart a VM that is already started (it leaves the started machine as is), while the Restart function does.
Once a VM is started, the resources assigned to the VM are allocated for its use. The VSP ensures that the resources required by the VM are available in the current VSP system environment. If the VM cannot be started, Integrity Virtual Server Manager displays messages indicating which resources cannot currently be provided. For information about possible reasons that a VM might not start, see “Troubleshooting VM or vPar problems” (page 142).
but can take as long as 5 minutes because Integrity VM waits for the OS to complete its cleanup operations. • Forced. A forced stop is the equivalent of a power failure and gives no warning to the guest OS. Because the guest OS receives no advance notice of the power off operation, the OS has no opportunity to perform a crash dump or perform any system cleanup tasks. If you want to set a forced stop for the machines, click the Forced option; otherwise, skip to the next step. 5.
Figure 66 Restart Virtual Machine page 4. In the screen example shown in Figure 66, one VM (vm001) will be stopped (gracefully) and restarted. A message indicates that this machine have an active operating system that should be shut down prior to stopping the VM. The How to Stop options allow you to control whether the VMs are stopped gracefully (the default) or forcefully. For a description of each stop option, see “Stopping VMs” (page 94).
NOTE: You cannot delete a VM that is currently migrating online. You must wait until migration completes. NOTE: Using Integrity Virtual Server Manager with Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX, if you create a VM and then delete it before the new VM has been identified by Systems Insight Manager, the VM might appear in HP Matrix OE visualization as though it had not been deleted.
The Migrate Guest wizard is started by selecting Tools→Migrate Guest... from the Integrity Virtual Server Manager menu bar. The menu item is enabled from the VM Properties view, from which you can migrate the one viewed guest, or from a tab on which one or more guests are selected, such as the VSP Virtual Servers tab, from which you can migrate multiple guests at the same time. For more information about starting the wizard, see “Starting the Migrate Virtual Machine wizard” (page 100).
Serviceguard requirements and recommendations For online migration of a VM configured as a Serviceguard package, package switching for the migrating VM guest package is disabled before migration begins and then re-enabled immediately after the migration finishes. Therefore, the VM software is not protected by Serviceguard during the migration process.
Adjusting online migration phase timeout values To protect the guest's workload, the online migration software limits the amount of time spent in each phase of the migration. If necessary, the VSP administrator can carefully adjust migration time outs for each phase by using the hpvmmodify -x command, as documented in the HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM Administrator Guide manual. Starting the Migrate Virtual Machine wizard To migrate one or more VMs, follow these steps: 1.
NOTE: If the source or target VSP is not enabled and licensed for online migration, or the VM is not enabled for online migration, you can migrate the VM offline. Stop the VM and then retry migrating it. Figure 68 Migrate Virtual Machine: Step 2 of 2 6. Inspect the commands. If they suit your needs and you want to go ahead with the migration, click Finish. If you want to tailor the commands to be used for migrating the selected VMs, you can enter the desired commands manually on the VSP.
3. The Command Preview area shows the commands that Integrity VM performs to suspend the VM. Click OK. The VM is suspended and the Virtual Servers tab is displayed. You can view the status as Sp in the OS column against the selected VM, as shown in Figure 70. Figure 70 Suspend status Resuming VMs A VM can be resumed only if it is in a suspended (SP) state. Resuming a VM saves time as it does not involve the actual shutdown and reboot of the OS. A VM is resumed by the hpvmresume command.
Figure 71 Virtual Machine Resume page 3. The Command Preview area shows the commands that Integrity VM performs to resume the VM. Click OK. The VM is resumed and the Virtual Servers tab is displayed. The status turns On in the OS column against the selected VM. Moving suspend files When a VM is suspended, the suspend files are saved at a default location:/var/opt/hpvm/ guests. Suspend files can be very large, up to the size of guest memory for each suspended guest.

To create a vswitch, select Create→Virtual Switch from the Integrity Virtual Server Manager menu. This displays a page similar to that shown in Figure 74. Figure 74 Create Virtual Switch page The table on the screen shown in Figure 74 displays the following information: • LAN interface: Shows the physical LAN interface to which a vswitch can be attached. The “(none)” entry indicates that the vswitch is local, meaning that it not connected to a LAN interface.
With HP Integrity VM, AVIO requires a vswitch that has a physical network device as the backing device (local vswitches such as localnet are not supported). In addition, the physical NIC that backs the virtual switch must have an AVIO-compatible driver. For more information about AVIO requirements, see the HP Integrity Virtual Machines documentation available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-hpvm-docs. Create the virtual switch by performing the following steps: 1. 2. (Required) Enter a virtual switch name.

A Error messages, status indicators, and troubleshooting This appendix discusses error messages and troubleshooting related to Integrity Virtual Server Manager problems, and describes the status indicators that appear on some Integrity Virtual Server Manager screens and the error and status labels that might appear with utilization meters (bar graphs) displayed on certain Integrity Virtual Server Manager screens.
This command lists all the configuration parameters. Verify whether the enableNamespaceAuthorization parameter is set to TRUE. If it is set to TRUE, follow these steps: 1. To access WBEM Providers from HP Systems Insight Manager, run the following command: # cimauth -a -u -n root/cimv2/hpvm -R -W # cimconfig -s enableNamespaceAuthorization=true -p where, SIMUSER is the username created for SIM access. 2.
Status indicators In several actions and views, the status of a component is represented by an icon next to the component name or label. For example, the icon next to the name of a VM or a vPar shows whether the VM or vPar is up or down. A question mark (?) means no information is available. Table 17 explains the meaning of each status icon.
• No Comm. indicates that Integrity Virtual Server Manager is unable to communicate with the WBEM provider running on a VM or vPar. Hover the cursor over the meter to display an exception error message identifying the problem. A common reason for the No Comm. label to be displayed is a problem with trusted certificates.
are insufficient, missing or unavailable check box is selected on the Create Virtual Machines wizard Summary page, you can still have Integrity Virtual Server Manager create the VM. You will have to correct the conditions prior to starting the VM. • Failure starting a VM or a vPar The most likely cause for a VM or a vPar failing to start is missing, insufficient, or unavailable resources. Make sure the required resources are made available.
The response “HPVMProviderModule OK” indicates the VM Provider is running. Any other response indicates it is not running. For system and software requirements regarding the VM Provider, see “System and software requirements” (page 13). For installation instructions and information about providers that must be installed and running on VMs or vPars, see the HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM Administrator Guide manual.
