HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2.5: Release Notes

These warnings, errors, and exceptions occur because some optional elements are not provided
by the Integrity VM ACPI table. These messages are printed because the SUSE startup/initialization
code is trying to reference these optional elements, particularly for configured guest CPUs.
The messages do not impede the SUSE boot process; the boot/startup process completes. The
known side-effect of these messages is that there is an extra CPU created in the /proc/acpi/
processor file system, which might lead to confusion as to the actual number of CPUs configured
in the guest.
4.3.2.8 HP SIM CMS Cannot Connect to SLES10 over SSH
SSH password authentication is turned off by default in SLES10. In this default setting, HP SIM
CMS cannot connect to the SUSE guest.
To enable password authentication for SSH, do the following:
1. Login to SUSE.
2. Edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.
3. Set passwordauthentication value to yes.
4. Restart sshd.
For more information, see Secure Shell (SSH) in HP SIM 5.x, Troubleshooting section (page 31).
4.3.2.9 Preparing Linux Guests for Integrity Virtual Machines Manager
If Linux guests are to be managed by Integrity Virtual Machines Manager:
1. Install the tog-pegasus package.
2. On Red Hat Enterprise Linux, modify the file /etc/Pegasus/access.conf to allow WBEM
access using your designated WBEM user name and password. Follow the steps below to
configure this file. In this example, your designated WBEM user name is assumed to be
wbemuser.
a. Look for the following line in this file:
-: ALL EXCEPT pegasus:wbemNetwork
b. Change this line to either of the following options:
• # Allow access from user 'wbemuser':
-: ALL EXCEPT wbemuser pegasus:wbemNetwork
• # Allow access by all users:
+: ALL EXCEPT :wbemNetwork
3. Start the tog-pegasus package by executing the following command:
# /etc/init.d/tog-pegasus start

NOTE: If using SUSE Linux SLES10 SP2 guests, install the HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack
for Linux (HPIEFPL) Version 2.1 kit or later to get an appropriate version of the Utilization Provider.
To get the VMProvider for the SLES10 guest, install the HPIEFPL Version 2.2 kit or later or make
sure you install the Integrity VM V3.5 guest kit. For more information about obtaining the Utilization
Provider, see the HPIEFPL 2.2 Release Notes.
4.3.2.10 Linux Guests with FC Tapes Display Errors
MPT errors might appear while booting a Linux guest if FC tapes are attached to it. FC tape devices
return EIO on device reset, which causes timeout of the MPT reset. The boot proceeds after the
reset timeouts; these errors can be ignored. For example:
