HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2.5: Release Notes

# hpvmstatus -P guestname -d | grep -w scsi
# hpvmstatus -P guestname -d | grep -w lan
• Integrity VM V4.2.5 will be the last release to support Microsoft Windows and Linux guests.
Integrity VM V4.2.5 is the last release that will support Microsoft Windows and Linux guests.
Beginning with the next Integrity VM release, HP-UX and OpenVMS guests will be supported.
• Use of legacy device special files (DSFs) to define virtual storage will not be supported in a
future release.
Support for the use of legacy DSFs to define virtual storage (including virtual disks and DVDs)
will be dropped in a future release and customers should begin planning to use persistent
(agile) DSFs when defining their virtual storage devices. HP recommends the use of persistent
DSFs (for example, those with pathnames such as /dev/rdisk/disk##) for better storage
availability and reliability.
To check for the use of legacy DSFs, use the following command:
# hpvmstatus -P guestname -d | grep -w rdsk
