HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM V6.3 Administrator Guide

• Mass storage issues
The vPars and Integrity VM V6.3 release supports the use of both legacy and agile devices
within guests. It is not necessary to convert guests to use strictly agile devices. If, however,
problems occur with guests using multipath solutions that are based on legacy devices, change
the backing device to use the equivalent agile device. For information about mass storage
compatibility issues, see the documentation available at:
HP-UX 11i v3 Manuals.
• Platform issues
For 11i v3 platform support, see the following matrix:
HP-UX Integrity Server Support Matrix
• Serviceguard issues
For information about the Storage Multi-Pathing choices in HP-UX Serviceguard environments,
see the Serviceguard website:

4.2 Upgrading earlier versions of the VSP and VM guests to vPars and
Integrity VM V6.3
This section describes the process of updating an earlier version of the VSP to vPars and Integrity
VM V6.3.
To update the VSP and VM guests from V4.3 to V6.3:
1. Migrate VM guests to an alternate VSP or perform an orderly shutdown of all Integrity VM
guests on the V4.3 VSP.
If you have a VSP established as an OVMM target host, HP recommends that you migrate the
VM guests to that VSP. If OVMM target VSP does not exist, perform an orderly shutdown of
the VM guests. For example, perform one of the following steps:
• Migrate an existing VM guests to an alternate VSP (V4.3, V6.1, or V6.2):
VSP -> hpvmmigrate -P VM name -o -h Target VSP
• Perform an orderly shutdown of all Integrity VM guests on the V4.3 VSP:
VM -> shutdown -h -y 0
