1.3 Guest Management Software
Integrity VM provides specific software for each type of guest operating system. This guest
management software enhances guest performance, enables Integrity VM commands, and includes
providers for virtual management software, such as Integrity Virtual Machines Manager. The
locations and contents of the guest management kits are modified in this version of Integrity VM.
The guest management software is required on each guest.
Guest management software is installed on the guest either remotely, from a software depot, or
locally, after being copied to the guest. The guest management software is located in the /opt/
hpvm/guest-images directory. Table 2 lists the location of the guest management software kit
for each type of guest operating system. The instructions for installing the guest management
software are provided in README.txt files in these directories.
