6.4 Installing SUSE Linux Guests from ISO Images
Before installing the SUSE Linux guest, note the following:
• You must install the tog-pegasus RPM kit prior to installing the SUSE Linux RPM guest kit;
however, the SUSE Linux installation media does not contain the tog-pegasus RPM kit. This
RPM kit is available in the “HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack for Linux” (also known
as HPIEFL for Linux).
The SUSE Linux RPM guest kit is actually two parts, a guest kit and a provider kit. The
Hpvm.*.rpm kit contains:
— Tuning scripts
— hpvminfo
— hpvmcollect
— Guest library
The Hpvmprovider.*.rpm kit contains the VMprovider and related files. This RPM requires
that both the hpvm and tog-pegasus kits must be installed.
