Introduction This paper describes the procedure to install and configure HP Integrity Virtual Machine for HP Systems Insight Manager on Integrity Machine. Installation of Integrity VM can be carried out in HPUX 11.23 or later operating environment. The virtual machine environment consists of:  VM Host  Virtual Machines (also known as Guest) The VM Host virtualizes the CPU, Memory, and any input/output devices, enabling you to allocate resources.

Configuring C re a tin g sto ra g e s p a c e fo r th e v irtu a l m a ch in e When you create a guest, you specify the virtual storage device that the guest uses. HP recommends that you practice allocating the storage devices the guest uses. The following example uses SAM to allocate the Logical Volume that is used for a single guest. 1. Launch SAM: # SAM 2. Select Disk and File SystemsLogical VolumesActionCreate. The Create New Logical Volume menu appears as shown in Figure 1.
PAGE 4
7. Select the Mount Directory such as /vdisk1, and then click [Add]. 8. After the LV is added, select [OK], and then exit SAM. Creating virtual switche To provide network access for the guests, you must create virtual network switches (vswitch) for them. To create virtual switches, use the hpvmnet command.

C re a tin g a g u e st To create a guest, use the hpvmcreate command, specifying the guest characteristic options for the virtual devices, such as network, storage, and DVD. The following example creates a guest with 1CPU, 1GB RAM, access to the network using vswA, and access to raw logical volume name rvdisk1.

In sta llin g th e operating s y s te m o n th e g u e s t There are two ways to install the HP-UX OS on the virtual machine guest:  Physical DVD  Ignite Server To install using a physical DVD device, ensure the DVD was added to the guest, as explained in Adding USB DVD Player. Launch the virtual console to access the EFI Boot Manager.

5. The guest connects to the ignite server through PXE. Note: Installing Linux and Windows operating systems on HPVM is supported, but for installing HP SIM on Linux and Windows guest is not supported. In sta llin g a g u e st software d e p o t The Integrity VM product also contains guest software that you can install on a virtual machine after you have installed its HP-UX operating system.

Configure the VSE Management Software by executing the following command: /opt/vse/bin/vseinitconfig –a The vseinitconfig command logs status, errors, and exceptions to the file /var/opt/vse/logs/vseinitconfig.log. Configuring HP SIM for VSE 1. Ensure that the SSH is installed and configured for HP SIM on each of your managed systems. To configure SSH for HP SIM, select the systems to configure, and then from the HP SIM menu, select Configu re >C onfigu re or Repair Agents. 2.
