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

5.3 Managing Windows Guests

Use the Windows Remote Desktop to manage the Windows guest:

supplied earlier at the SAC> prompt. Install SNMP from the Windows Management and

Monitoring Tools and configure it. SNMP is required for the HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM),

which provides the ID-VSE environment.

The HP Integrity Support Pack for Windows provides the components required for managing

the Windows guest using ID-VSE, including:

• Agents for HP SIM

• Providers for ID-VSE

• Basic Windows updates for Integrity VM

• System Management Homepage

To install the SSM media, you must first insert it into the virtual DVD. If the virtual DVD is

mapped to the physical DVD, then you will need to physically insert the SSM media disk into

the physical DVD drive on the VM Host.

If your virtual DVD is mapped to an ISO file (for example, the Windows installation media), you

must virtually eject the current media and virtually insert the SSM. To do this, modify the virtual

DVD so that it now maps to the ISO file containing the SSM.

For example, the following hpvmstatus command displays the virtual DVD on the Windows

guest vmwin0:

# hpvmstatus -P vmwin0 |grep scsi

disk scsi 0 0 0 0 0 file /hpvm/VHD/vmwin0/vhd0

dvd scsi 0 0 0 1 0 file /ISO/MS_Ent_Ed_wSP1.iso

To change the virtual DVD, you must use the virtual bus, device, and target values for the existing

DVD with the hpvmmodify command. For example, in the hpvmstatus example, the virtual

bus, device, and target are 0, 0, and 1, respectively. The corresponding hpvmmodify command

is:

# hpvmmodify -P vmwin0 -m dvd:scsi::0,0,1:file:/ISO/SmartSetup.iso

Now that the SSM is in the virtual DVD, it will appear in the Windows Explorer display that

corresponds to My Computer. From the Explorer window, open the DVD and then open the

start.html file there. This file has information to guide you through installation of SSM.

Consult the Smart Setup Guide for more details.

After install the Smart Setup, install the components of HP's Smart Update media. This media

is available from HP. Insert the Smart Update media into the virtual DVD as described for SSM.

You initiate the Smart Update installation the same way you initiated SSM. Open the virtual

DVD, then open the start.html file. Install OS and Security components and other components

of Smart Update that apply to your Windows system deployment

To enable ID-VSE, modify the Windows Firewall settings, as follows:

1. As the administrator of the Windows guest, open the Windows Firewall utility from the

Control Panel and select the Exceptions tab:
