HP Integrity Virtual Machines Release Notes

2 Installation Notes
This chapter contains notes about installing and upgrading Integrity VM and associated software
on the VM Host system.
2.1 Installing Integrity VM
This section describes information about installing the HP Integrity Virtual Machines product
and associated software on the VM Host system.
HP Integrity Virtual Machines A.03.00 is installed on HP Integrity servers or nPartitions running
HP-UX 11i V2 (September 2006 [0609] or later). For complete information about the requirements
for installing Integrity VM, see the HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and
Administration manual.
When you upgrade or reinstall Integrity VM, guests are stopped, but they are not removed.
When the new version of Integrity VM starts, the virtual machines may also start, depending on
the setting of the guest boot attribute.
2.1.1 Integrity VM Includes the Foundation Operating Environment
The HP-UX Foundation Operating Environment (FOE) is included with Integrity VM. Install the
FOE on the VM Host on which you install Integrity VM. The license for the FOE (used in the VM
Host only) is included with the purchase of Integrity VM. (Licenses for OEs that run inside the
individual virtual machines must be purchased separately.)
For VM Hosts that will support guests as Serviceguard packages, the Mission Critical Operating
Environment (MCOE) can also be used.
2.1.2 Upgrade HP WBEM Services
Integrity VM fails to install if the version of WBEM Services on your VM Host is old. The VM
Host system must be running HP WBEM Services A.02.00.10 or later. The HP WBEM Services
for HP-UX software bundle (B8465BA) is available as part of the HP-UX operating system, or
download the software from www.hp.com. This version of HP WBEM Services is also required
in order to install VM Provider and VM Manager.
2.1.3 Installing the hpvmmigrate Command
The hpvmmigrate command is included in the HP Integrity Virtual Machines product, but it
is packaged in the separate VMMigrate bundle and must be explicitly specified. You must install
the T2767AC bundle before or with the VMMigrate bundle, to make sure the versions of the
bundles are compatible.
To install the VM Migrate bundle with the Integrity VM software, enter the following command:
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s my.server.foo.com:/depot/path T2767AC VMMigrate
2.1.4 Installing VM Provider
To install the VM Provider bundle with the Integrity VM software on the VM Host, enter the
following command:
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s my.server.foo.com:/depot/path T2767AC VMProvider
To install the VM Provider bundle with the Integrity VM software on the HP-UX guest, enter
the following command:
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s my.server.foo.com:/depot/path VMProvider
If you install the VM Provider on either the VM Host or a guest, make sure that the system is
using HP WBEM Services A.02.00.10 or higher. For example:
