HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration Version A.03.50

Table 2-1 Requirements for Installing Integrity VM (continued)
DescriptionResource
Sufficient disk space for the following:
• The VM Host operating system (see the HP-UX 11i v2 Installation and Upgrade Guide)
• The VM Host software (50 MB)
• Swap space size should be at least as large as physical memory plus 4 GB (for example,
for 16 GB of RAM, swap space should be 20 GB)
NOTE: HP-UX uses this space to start up guests, but guests are never swapped out.
• Disk space for each guest operating system, including swap space
• Disk space for the applications running on each guest
• 4.7 MB for each running guest as the allowance for backing up configuration files
For information about configuring storage devices for guests, see Chapter 7 “Creating
Virtual Storage Devices”.
Disk storage
Sufficient physical memory (RAM), including the following:
• 750 MB + 7.5% of memory beyond the first GB (that is, 7.5% of (total physical memory
- 1 GB))
• Total aggregate memory required for each guest (operating system and application
requirements)
HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 requires a minimum of 1 GB of memory, so a guest running
HP-UX must be configured with at least that much memory.
• Additional 7% of aggregate guest memory for overhead for guests less than or equal
to 4 GB and between 7% and 7.3% for guests larger than 4 GB.
For example, for a VM Host with 16 GB of memory and two VMs configured with 3 GB
of memory each, the memory requirements would be calculated as follows:
• 1.86 GB for the VM Host (750 MB plus 7.5% of 15 GB)
• 6.42 GB total guest requirement (107% of 6 GB)
• Total requirements = 8.28 GB of memory
This leaves 7.72 GB of memory for additional guests.
Memory
A configured and operational network. To allow guests network access, the VM Host
must have at least one functioning network interface card (NIC). For more information
about configuring network devices for virtual machines, see Chapter 8 (page 109).

2.1.2 Bundle Names
The Integrity VM release media kit contains the following software:
• T2767AC (the Integrity VM software bundle)
• VMProvider (allows you to use the HP Integrity VM Manager to manage the VM Host)
• HP-UX 11i V2 (the HP-UX 11.23 foundation operating environment [FOE] that is provided
for the VM Host system)
• PRM-Sw Krn (installed as part of the HP-UX FOE and required by Integrity VM)
• VMGuestLib (installed as part of the HP-UX FOE and required by Integrity VM)
• B8465BA (HP WBEM Services for HP-UX, installed as part of the FOE and required by
Integrity VM)
2.1.3 Integrity VM Requires HP WBEM Services on the VM Host
The version of HP WBEM Services for HP-UX must be A.02.00.10 or later. Integrity VM fails to
install if the version of WBEM Services on your VM Host is not A.02.00.10 or later.
