HP Integrity Virtual Machines Release Notes Version A.03.50

Overall system performance may not be optimal.
"/sbin/rc3.d/S829hpvmguestlib start" FAILED
This issue can be corrected by installing the HPVM-Guest bundle.
4.2.2 HP-UX 11i v3 Guests Might Fail to Configure Interface Cards Due to Lack of
Memory Resources
HP-UX 11i v3 guests with small memory resources (less or equal to 2 GB RAM) might fail to
configure one or more virtual interface cards. Messages like the following might be seen on the
guest console:
wsio_claim init failed isc=0xe000000109c41400 name=mpt or
igssn: The device at hardware path 0/0/1/0 failed initialization (3309).
The problem might occur during installation, in which case it results in some devices not being
seen by the guest.
To resolve this problem, temporarily increase memory assigned to the guest to more than 2 GB
(for example 2.5 GB). Then reduce memory back to the intended size after you reboot the guest.
4.2.3 Patches for HP-UX 11i v3 Guests
Customers running HP-UX 11i v3 guests should install the following patches (or their superseding
patches) in each guest running HP-UX 11i v3 :
• PHKL_36261
• PHKL_36242
These patches prevent performance problems in environments where applications spawn large
numbers of short-lived processes (such as development environments). To obtain these patches,
contact your support specialist or HP representative.
4.2.4 Do Not Run Live Kernel Debuggers Inside a Guest
Do not run tools that write kernel text, such as live kernel debuggers and performance tools such
as kgmon and ktracer inside a guest. Under rare circumstances, these tools cause the guest to
panic.
4.2.5 Do Not Use the iomap(7) Mechanism on HP-UX Guests
The iomap(7) mechanism allows you to map physical I/O addresses into the user process
address space. Do not use this command on HP-UX guests.
4.2.6 iCAP Commands Fail on HP-UX Guests
iCAP is installed as part of the HP-UX OS installation. Install-time configuration of iCAP reports
failure with messages similar to the following:
NOTE: Checking for partitionable system.
ERROR: Software configuration has failed. After addressing the issues
in the following output, configure this software with
'swconfig B9073BA'.
ERROR: Command not allowed to run on a Virtual Machine Guest.
ERROR: The "configure" script for "iCOD.ICOD-RUN" failed (exit code
"1"). The script location was
"/var/adm/sw/products/iCOD/ICOD-RUN/configure".
* This script had errors and the execution of this fileset
cannot proceed until the problem is fixed. Check the above
output from the script for further details.
