HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 and 7.3 Update 1 Logical Server Management User Guide

• Integrity VM targets: To enable secure communication between the source and target hosts,
generate SSH keys on both systems. You need root privileges to generate and set up the SSH
keys required for guest migration. Use the secsetup script provided by Integrity VM. Execute
the following command on both the source and target hosts:
# /opt/hpvm/bin/secsetup -r otherhost
See HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM Administrator Guide at www.hp.com/go/hpux-hpvm-docs
for more information.
• Integrity VM targets: Install LVM B.11.31.1303 on the VM Host. To locate LVM on the software
depot website, go to http://www.hp.com/go/matrixoe/docs and search for the keyword
LVM.
Unable to import an Integrity VM logical server
You may see the following error on the Import Logical Server screen when attempting to import an
Integrity VM guest as a logical server:
Error: Import failed for system-name. Invalid storage.
Suggested action
Ensure that the Integrity VM storage is properly configured with a whole LUN, ejectable DVD, or
virtual disk created using a Shared Logical Volume Manager (SLVM) Logical Volume (LV). The
Volume Group that contains the SLVM LV must have a container type of
CONTAINER_VOLUME_SLVM.
See HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM Administrator Guide at www.hp.com/go/hpux-hpvm-docs for
more information.
Failure during virtual machine deletion leaves active but unpowered logical
server
The deletion of a virtual machine requires that it be registered; therefore, part of the delete operation
is to register the virtual machine.
The Report→Logical Server Job Status... screen shows the progression of job detail messages for
the delete operation. If a virtual machine failure occurs for any reason during the interval between
registration and actual deletion, when the virtual machine is restarted, logical server management
sees a registered virtual machine and marks the associated logical server as active.
After the failure, the delete job appears to be incomplete, and the logical server is active, but not
powered on.
Suggested action
1. Refresh virtual machine management server resources using the Tools→Logical
Servers→Refresh... menu selection.
2. Deactivate the logical server using the Tools→Logical Servers→Deactivate... menu selection.
3. Repeat the delete operation using the Delete→Delete Logical Server... menu selection.
VM Hosts must be in same vCenter for ESX virtual machine logical server
moves
To move logical servers from one VM Host to another, the VM Hosts must be members of the same
VMware vCenter. Additionally, you can move ESX virtual machine logical servers among multiple
clusters, as long as the clusters are contained in one vCenter.
Performing operations on a logical server running as a VM host
Before performing any operations on a physical server running as a VM host, make sure that all
jobs related to controlling the VM guests running on the VM host logical server have been completed.
