This section describes the installation procedure
to use if you have never installed Integrity VM on your system. If
you are updating your HP-UX 11i v2 operating system to HP-UX 11i v3,
and subsequently want to update Integrity VM V3.5 to Integrity VM
4.0, see Section .
Once you have read the product release notes and
verified that you have met the system requirements as described in Section , install the Integrity
VM software as described in this section.
 |
| |
|
 | NOTE: Installing the Integrity VM software requires
the system to reboot. Therefore, the swinstall command
line installation includes the autoreboot=true parameter. |
|
| |
|
To install the HP Integrity VM software, follow
these steps:
If you have the installation
media, mount it.
If you are installing
from the network, identify the VM Host and path name that correspond
to the software distribution depot that contains the T2767BC bundle
(for example, my.server.foo.com:/depot/path).
Use the swinstall command to install Integrity VM and specify the path to the depot.
For example, the following command installs Integrity VM and VMMgr:
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s my.server.foo.com:/depot/path T2767BC VMMGR |
If you are using the GUI (swinstall i), perform the following steps:
Enter the following commands:
# export DISPLAY=your display variable
# swinstall |
Select the Integrity VM
bundle (T2767BC) from the list presented by the GUI.
The VM Host and guest configuration files are
stored at /var/opt/hpvm. The new configuration
files are not compatible with those of previous versions of Integrity
VM. Therefore, if you are upgrading to the current version, the guest
configuration files (except the /ISO-Images/ directory)
are saved to the /var/opt/hpvm/backup directory.
If you revert to the older version of Integrity VM, you can use the
backup configuration files to restore your VM Host and guest configurations.

| NOTE: You may receive a warning message during the swinstall session indicating that the AVIO bundles are
not installed. The installation will continue and complete successfully.
The AVIO bundles are optional and should install by default. If they
did not, and you want to install them with the Integrity VM bundle
T2767BC, go to the HP-UX 11i v3 0809 media and look for the following
bundles to install on the VM Host, HostAVIOStor and HostAvioLan. |
|
| |
|
Unmount and remove any
installation media. The VM Host system automatically reboots, if necessary.
Once the Integrity VM
software is installed and running, the VM Host is available. Enter
the following command to get information about the status of the guests:
# hpvmstatus
hpvmstatus: No guest information is available.
hpvmstatus: Unable to continue. |
The installation is now complete, with the following
results:
The Integrity VM guest management software is installed
in the /opt/hpvm/guest-images directory.
The HP Serviceguard for Integrity VM Toolkit is installed
in the /opt/cmcluster/toolkit/hpvm directory.
The Integrity VM software and data files are installed
in the /var/opt/hpvm directory.
The Integrity VM commands are installed in the /opt/hpvm/bin directory.
You can now create guests using the hpvmcreate command, as described in Chapter 3.
Integrity VM installation modifies certain kernel
parameters. For this reason, you cannot install any other applications
besides Integrity VM on the VM Host system, regardless of whether
guests are running or not. Table 2-2 lists the kernel parameters that are modified
when you install Integrity VM.
Table 2-2 Kernel Parameters
