• Commands that prompt for confirmation display the confirmation prompt in a consistent
manner. The hpvmstart, hpvmcreate, hpvmclone, hpvmmodify, and hpvmnet
commands present the same prompt with the same default. For example, the hpvmstop
command displays the following confirmation prompt:
# hpvmstop -P guest1
hpvmstop: Stop the virtual machine 'guest1'? [n/y]:<Enter>
hpvmstop: Virtual machine was not stopped.
The default action is to not perform the action.
1.7 Guest Management Software
Integrity VM provides specific software for each type of guest operating system. This guest
management software enhances guest performance, enables Integrity VM commands, and
includes providers for virtual management software, such as VM Manager. The locations and
contents of the guest management kits are modified in this version of Integrity VM. The guest
management software is required on each guest.
Guest management software is installed on the guest either remotely, from a software depot, or
locally, after being copied to the guest. The guest management software is located in the
/opt/hpvm/guest-images directory. Table 1-2 lists the location of the guest management
software kit for each type of guest operating system. The instructions for installing the guest
management software are provided in README.txt files in these directories.

Installing the guest management software kit causes the guest to reboot.
Whenever you upgrade Integrity VM, reinstall the guest kit on all the guests. This ensures that
guests run well and continue to be manageable and supportable. Failure to install and upgrade
the guest management software on each guest can cause problems that are difficult to diagnose
and solve.
