Introduction This paper will explain the procedure to install and configure HP Integrity Virtual Machine for HP Systems Insight Manager on BL60P. 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. The Virtual Machines are abstraction of real, physical machines.

Configuring Creating storage space for the virtual machine When you create a guest, you specify the virtual storage device that the guest will use. It is best practice to allocate the storage devices the guest will use first. The example below uses SAM to allocate the Logical Volume that will be used for a single guest. Launch SAM # SAM Select Disk and File Systems>Logical Volumes>Action>Create, the Create New Logical Volume menu appears as shown in Figure 1.

Creating virtual switches To provide network access for the guests, you must create virtual network switches (vswitch) for them. To create virtual switches, use the hpvmnet command.

– network – disk – dvd Note: The default amount of virtual CPU and Memory is 1. To verify the guest create, enter the following command: # hpvmstatus [Virtual Machines] Virtual Machine Name VM # OS Type State # vCPUs # Devs # Nets Memory ==================== ===== ======= ======== ======= ====== ===== ========== vm01 1 HPUX Off 1 1 1 1 GB Adding USB DVD Player To add a USB DVD player, ensure the DVD player is connected to USB01 port on the BL20P dongle.

• The installation will start. To boot from LAN, make sure you have access to an Ignite Server and that it is configured correctly to handle PXE request. Launch the virtual console to access the EFI Boot Manager. EFI Boot Manager ver 1.10 [14.62] [Build: Tue Nov 8 09:15:06 2005] Please select a boot option EFI Shell [Built-in] Boot option maintenance menu Use ^ and v to change option(s).

Managing HPVM in HP SIM Managing your Integrity Virtual Machines (VM) with HP System Insight Manager (HP SIM) requires Virtual Server Environment (VSE) Management Software installed on the same server as HP SIM. More information on VSE can be found at: http://docs.hp.com/en/T2786-90012/T2786-90012.pdf Installing HP SIM and VSE Use the following procedure to install HP SIM and the VSE Management Software on an HP-UX CMS. 1.
