HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2: Installation, Configuration, and Administration

Guests are not affected by this procedure. To remove guests, see the procedures in Section 3.8
(page 63).
2.7 Reserving VM Host Devices
You can protect the storage and network resources used by the VM Host against usage and
corruption by virtual machines by marking the VM Host devices as restricted devices. For
example, you can reserve the disk storage on which the VM Host operating system and swap
space reside, which prevents guests from being able to access the same disk storage devices. The
hpvmdevmgmt command allows you to establish restricted devices.
For example, to restrict the /dev/rdisk/disk1 device, enter the following command:
# hpvmdevmgmt –a rdev:/dev/rdisk/disk1
To complete the restriction of volumes, each device included in the volume must also be restricted.
For more information about using the hpvmdevmgmt command, see Section 9.9 (page 161).
2.8 Troubleshooting Installation Problems
If the installation verification fails, report the problem using the procedures described in
Chapter 12 (page 209). Some problems encountered in the process of installing Integrity VM are
described in the following sections.
