HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2: Installation, Configuration, and Administration

hpvm(5)
NAME
hpvm -- HP Integrity Virtual Machines (Integrity VM).
SYNOPSIS
Virtualization technology
DESCRIPTION
HP Integrity Virtual Machines allows the creation and management of virtual machines, in which
unmodified operating systems designed for HP Integrity servers can run. Integrity VM provides
a VM Host, which manages the physical machine and allocates system resources, such as memory,
CPU time, and I/O devices to virtual machines. The VM Host is the HP-UX operating system
installed on the physical machine and running the Integrity Virtual Machines product. Virtual
machines run on the same physical machine as the VM Host and appear to be ordinary HP-UX
processes. Each virtual machine emulates a real Integrity machine, including firmware. A virtual
machine is sometimes referred to as a guest. The operating system running in a virtual machine
is referred to as the guest operating system, or guest OS.
Following are the Integrity VM commands:
• hpvmclone: Creates a cloned copy of a virtual machine. Runs on the VM Host.
