HP Integrity Virtual Machines Version 4.2 Release Notes

2.3.2.5 Failures in Key Applications
Some applications fail when run on HP-UX with large pages configured (larger than 8K). Those
that are frequently used on the VM Host and instructions for how to address problems with
those applications follow:
• Veritas Enterprise Services Administrator
The Veritas Enterprise Services Administrator, part of the Symantec VxVM product, as
delivered into Update 3, bundles in a version of the Java Virtual Machine that does not work
with values of the system base-page size greater than the default. This situation is remedied
by a patch to the VxVM product that was released in October 2008. The patch, whose identifier
is PHCO_37694, is now available on the HP patch hub.
• Opsware AMS Client
The aistat, rgetver, aiinv, aicfg, and aiclient executables might fail with the
error message:
crt0: ERROR: mmap failed for dld (text) errno:000000022
The failure is caused by a defect in the dynamic linker provided with HP-UX. Installation
of the patch with identifier PHSS_39094 resolves the problem.
For more information, see the white paper Tunable Base Page Size at: Tunable Base Page Size for
issues with other applications on the VM Host system.
2.3.3 Integrity VM Includes the Base Operating Environment
The HP-UX Base Operating Environment (BOE) is included with Integrity VM. Install the BOE
on the VM Host on which you install Integrity VM. The license for the BOE (used in the VM Host
only) is included with the purchase of Integrity VM. If you buy the VSE-OE or DC-OE, the OEs
for the guests are included. However, if you buy Integrity VM stand-alone or in the VSE Suite,
then you need to purchase the guest software separately.
For VM Hosts that support guests as Serviceguard packages, the High Availability Operating
Environment (HA-OE) can also be used.
2.3.4 Installing the Migration Tools Including hpvmmigrate and Physical-to-Virtual
Assist Tools
The VMMigrate SD-UX bundle no longer exists. The functionality delivered with this bundle is
now delivered with installation of the Integrity VM bundle T2767CC. Installation of T2767CC
causes the old VMMigrate bundle to be automatically removed. The functionality previously
delivered with the VMMigrate bundle has been replaced by the contents of two SD-UX products
within the T2767CC bundle, VMMIGRATE and VMCONVERT. The VMMIGRATE product
contains the hpvmmigrate command along with its supporting tools and manual. The
physical-to-virtual tools and documentation are delivered in the VMCONVERT product. These
SD-UX products and others can be seen with the swlist command:
swlist -R T2767CC
The repackaging of the physical-to-virtual tools in the T2767CC.VMCONVERT product, allows
them to be installed on any Integrity HP-UX 11i v3 system, not just on a VM Host or a virtual
machine. This results in more practical use of the physical-to-virtual tools enabling them on
physical Integrity servers, vPars, nPars, and so on.
To install the physical-to-virtual tools on an Integrity HP-UX 11i v3 system, enter the following
command:
# swinstall -s path to Integrity VM install media T2767CC.VMCONVERT
This installs only the physical-to-virtual tools without any of the other Integrity VM functionality.
