HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2.5: Release Notes

# useradd -r no -g users -s /opt/hpvm/bin/hpvmconsole \
-c "Console access to guest 'testme'" \> -d /var/opt/hpvm/guests/testme \
testme2
# useradd -r no -g users -s /opt/hpvm/bin/hpvmconsole \
-c "Console access to guest 'testme'" \
-d /var/opt/hpvm/guests/testme \
testme3
The following command creates the virtual machine named testme:
# hpvmcreate -P testme -u testme1:admin -u testme2 -u testme3:oper
At this point, users testme2 and testme3 both have oper level access to the virtual console,
and user testme1 has admin level access. In order to make these accounts usable, set passwords
for them, as follows:
# passwd testme1
...
# passwd testme2
...
# passwd testme3
...
Because of the way the useradd command works, an attempt to create an additional account
might result in an error. For example, the following command attempts and fails to add the testme4
user account:
# useradd -r no -g users -s /opt/hpvm/bin/hpvmconsole \
> -c "Console access to guest 'testme'" \
> -d /var/opt/hpvm/guests/testme \
> testme4
'/var/opt/hpvm/guests/testme' is not a valid directory
To enter the command correctly, include the entire directory path. For example:
# useradd -r no -g users -s /opt/hpvm/bin/hpvmconsole \
> -c "Console access to guest 'testme'" \
> -d /var/opt/hpvm/guests/testme/. \
> testme4
# hpvmmodify -P testme -u testme4
# passwd testme4
Note the addition of the slash and period (/.) to the end of the argument to the -d option, which
ensures there is no confusion with HP-UX shared home directories.
6.2.5 Reconfiguring VM Host CPUs
Do not reduce the physical CPU count below the virtual CPU (vCPU) count of any guest. No running
guest should be allocated more vCPUs than the VM Host system has physical processors.
6.2.6 Monitor Logs Might Report Warnings
On rare occasions, the monitor log might report warnings such as the following:
Warning: VCPUn not scheduled for x ms, command 0x0.
Warning: No recorder entry on VCPUn for x ms.
These warnings are generally harmless, but might indicate performance problems with your virtual
machines, such as system or I/O overloads.
6.2.7 Warning Message Might Appear When Configuring or Starting Guests
When configuring or starting Integrity VM guests, the following warning message might be displayed
if storage associated with the guest appears to be performing very poorly.
hpvmcreate: WARNING (host): Device /dev/rdsk/c6t9d0 took 32 seconds to open.
If this message is appearing when configuring or starting a guest, Integrity VM does not support
running that guest with the devices specified in this message. Replace the devices with different
