HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration Version A.03.50

Integrity VM installation modifies certain kernel parameters. For this reason, you cannot install
any other applications besides Integrity VM on the VM Host system, regardless of whether guests
are running or not. Table 2-2 lists the kernel parameters that are modified when you install
Integrity VM.

2.3 Upgrading from Earlier Versions of Integrity VM
When you upgrade Integrity VM from an earlier version, you should:
1. Shut down all running guests (using the hpvmstop command). If you do not stop the guests,
they are stopped as part of the Integrity VM installation procedure. If they are set to autoboot,
guests are restarted when Integrity VM starts.
2. Remove the old VMMigrate bundle with the swremove command.
3. Locate and install the new version of Integrity VM.
4. Install a new version of the VMProvider bundles.
5. Reboot the VM Host system.
Existing guest configuration information, operating system software, and application data are
not affected when you upgrade Integrity VM. However, when you upgrade Integrity VM, you
should reinstall the guest management software that is provided with Integrity VM. This operation
requires you to reboot the guest. For more information, see Section 9.3 (page 127).
If you have installed the evaluation version of Integrity VM (software bundle T2801AA), remove
the evaluation software before installing the Integrity VM product. (See Section 2.5 (page 28).)
2.4 Verifying the Installation of Integrity VM
To verify that Integrity VM installed successfully, enter the following command:
# hpvminfo
hpvminfo: Running on an HPVM host.
To see exactly what versions of specific bundles are installed, enter the swlist command.
(Specific version numbers on your installation may not match the examples in this manual.)
# swlist | grep -i "integrity vm"

When you install Integrity VM, the file /etc/rc.config.d/hpvmconf is created to record
the product configuration.

• VMProvider (if installed)
