HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.2 Logical Server Management User Guide

• Install VMware Tools on the guest operating system (Use the Inventory menu in the VMware
Virtual Infrastructure Client, then select Virtual Machine→Install/Upgrade VMware Tools)
• Storage: ESX virtual machines whose boot and data storage are files within the hypervisor
file system. That file system can be on local disk, FC SAN, HP SVSP, and iSCSI. Also supported
are hypervisor file systems on NAS and virtual machines using Raw Device Mapping (RDM)
to access a FC LUN directly.
For more information, see “VM guest storage options ” (page 24).
• UUID: A virtual machine that is managed by logical server management must keep its Universal
Unique Identifier (UUID) when prompted by VMware. When you power on a virtual machine
on a hypervisor that was moved to a new location (for example, from one blade to another),
a VMware message appears, asking you if you want to create a new UUID for the virtual
machine, or keep the UUID that was generated for the virtual machine when the logical server
was activated. Select Always Keep, then click OK to continue powering on the virtual machine.
If you do not select Always Keep or Keep, the moved logical server will not operate correctly.

• To move a Hyper-V virtual machine logical server using the Quick Move operation type, you
must have checked Enable High Availability when you created or modified the logical server
before it was activated, the data store must be shared in the MS Cluster, and the virtual
machine must be in a cluster node.
• To move a Hyper-V virtual machine logical server using the Live Move or Fast Move operation
types, you must have cluster shared volume support (Hyper-V R2 only)

in the gdev database. The hpvmhostgdev command can analyze disklist and lvlist output
and add unused gdevs to the Integrity VM database.
