HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2.5: Release Notes

2.3.10 Failures in Key Applications
Some applications fail when run on HP-UX with large pages configured (larger than 8K). Those
that are frequently used on the VM Host and instructions for how to address problems with those
applications follow:
• Veritas Enterprise Services Administrator
The Veritas Enterprise Services Administrator, part of the Symantec VxVM product, as delivered
into Update 3, bundles in a version of the Java Virtual Machine that does not work with values
of the system base-page size greater than the default. This situation is remedied by a patch
to the VxVM product that was released in October 2008. The patch, whose identifier is
PHCO_37694, is now available on the HP patch hub.
• Opsware AMS Client
The aistat, rgetver, aiinv, aicfg, and aiclient executables might fail with the
error message:
crt0: ERROR: mmap failed for dld (text) errno:000000022
The failure is caused by a defect in the dynamic linker provided with HP-UX. Installation of
the patch with identifier PHSS_39094 resolves the problem.
For more information, see the white paper Tunable Base Page Size at: Tunable Base Page Size
for issues with other applications on the VM Host system.
2.3.11 Installing the Migration Tools Including hpvmmigrate and Physical-to-Virtual
Assist Tools
The VMMigrate SD-UX bundle no longer exists. The functionality delivered with this bundle is now
delivered with installation of the Integrity VM bundle T2767CC. Installation of T2767CC causes
the old VMMigrate bundle to be automatically removed. The functionality previously delivered with
the VMMigrate bundle has been replaced by the contents of two SD-UX products within the
T2767CC bundle, VMMIGRATE and VMCONVERT. The VMMIGRATE product contains the
hpvmmigrate command along with its supporting tools and manual. The physical-to-virtual tools
and documentation are delivered in the VMCONVERT product. These SD-UX products and others
can be seen with the swlist command:
swlist -R T2767CC
The repackaging of the physical-to-virtual tools in the T2767CC.VMCONVERT product, allows
them to be installed on any Integrity HP-UX 11i v3 system, not just on a VM Host or a virtual
machine. This results in more practical use of the physical-to-virtual tools enabling them on physical
Integrity servers, vPars, nPars, and so on.
To install the physical-to-virtual tools on an Integrity HP-UX 11i v3 system, enter the following
command:
# swinstall -s path to Integrity VM install media T2767CC.VMCONVERT
This installs the physical-to-virtual tools without any of the other Integrity VM functionality.
NOTE: Be sure to completely specify T2767CC.VMCONVERT, so that you do not accidentally
transform your host to a VM Host that is left in an unknown state.
2.3.12 Limitations When using HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager with Integrity
VM V4.2.5
HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager (VMMgr) Version 4.0 can be used with Integrity VM V4.2.5.
Earlier versions of VMMgr (V3.0 and earlier) do not install or run on an HP-UX 11i v3 VM Host
and cannot be used with Integrity VM V4.2.5. Users upgrading to Integrity VM V4.2.5 must
upgrade to VMMgr V4.0 or preferably VMMgr V6.1. In addition, users of HP Insight Dynamics
