• Using HP Integrity Essentials Global Workload Manager (gWLM)
If you use gWLM within VSE to manage virtual machines, when you upgrade the VM Host,
make sure the gWLM agent on that host is running gWLM A.02.50 or greater. Also, the
managing VSE Central Management Station (CMS) must be running A.02.50 or greater, as
described in the VSE Management Software Installation and Update Guide. To upgrade the VM
Host, use the following procedure:
1. Remove the gWLM agent using the following command:
# swremove gWLM-Agent
2. Upgrade Integrity VM as described in “Upgrading from Earlier Versions of Integrity
VM” (page 27).
3. Upgrade the gWLM agent, as described in the VSE Management Software Installation and
Update Guide.
If you install the current version of Integrity VM without upgrading to gWLM A.02.50 or
later, and then attempt to use gWLM within VSE to manage virtual machines, the following
error is reported:
Error acquiring workload management lock. Look in the the file
/var/opt/gwlm/gwlmagent.log.0 on hostname for more details.
NOTE: You can use WLM on the VM Host, but only to manage iCAP resources. gWLM is
the workload management solution for managing resource allocation to virtual machines.
• Using the HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager (VM Manager)
The HP VM Manager product provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for Integrity VM.
It is available from either of the following management interfaces:
— HP System Management Homepage (SMH).
For more information about using VM Manager under SMH, see the Getting Started with
VM Manager guide.
— HP Virtual Server Environment (VSE) Management Software environment in the HP
Systems Insight Manager (SIM) on the Central Management Server (CMS).
For more information about VSE, see the VSE Management Software Quick Start Guide
If you have installed the HP VM Manager software, you must upgrade it to a version that
supports this version of Integrity VM.
To use VM Manager, you must install the VMProvider bundle that is provided with Integrity
VM. If you upgrade Integrity VM, be sure to keep the VMProvider up to date also. If the
VMProvider version does not match the Integrity VM version, the VM Manager will not
work properly.
For Windows guests, you must also install the UtilProvider software (provided with the HP
Integrity Support Pack for Windows). Follow the instructions for installing Windows guests
in the HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration manual.
• Using HP Instant Capacity with Integrity VM
You can use HP Instant Capacity solutions on the VM Host system as you would on any
other HP-UX system.
