If the Integrity VM A.01.20 Serviceguard for Integrity VM Toolkit is installed, remove the Integrity VM A.01.20 toolkit before installing the current version of Integrity VM. After you install Integrity VM, repackage the distributed guests, as described in this section.

To upgrade to the current version of Integrity VM, perform the following sequence of steps on each VM Host node in the multiserver environment:

  1. Move the distributed guest to the adoptive node by entering the cmhaltpkg and cmrunpkg commands.

  2. Remove the toolkit from the VM Host system as described in Section .

  3. Install the Integrity VM product as described in Chapter 2.

  4. Move the distributed guest back to the VM Host system using the cmhaltpkg and cmrunpkg commands.

  5. Log in to the distributed guest and remove the toolkit as described in Section .

  6. Repackage the guest by using the procedure described in Section .

Removing the Serviceguard for Integrity VM Toolkit

To remove the Serviceguard for Integrity VM toolkit, perform the following steps on the VM Host system:

  1. Remove the toolkit package template files and scripts.

    Remove the toolkit files from every VM Host in the multiserver environment. Distributed guests and required resources are not affected by removing the toolkit. Remove the toolkit by removing the toolkit installation directory using the rm command. For example:

    # rm -rf /var/opt/hpvm/cluster
  2. Remove the vswitch monitor script and files.

    The vswitch monitor script consists of three files: the actual vswitchmon script and the symbolic links used to start and stop the script during system boot and shut down. Distributed guests and required resources are not affected when you remove these files. If a reboot occurs during the interval between the removal of vswitchmon scripts and the Integrity VM installation, vswitch monitoring is temporarily interrupted. To delete the vswitch monitor, delete the associated files using the rm command. For example:

    # rm /sbin/init.d/vswitchmon /sbin/rc2.d/K004vswitchmon /sbin/rc3.d/S802vswitchmon
  3. Remove the sepd tunable in every distributed guest configuration.

    Optionally, you can remove the sepd tunable. The sepd tunable is specific to Integrity VM A.01.20; it is not used in later versions of Integrity VM. To remove the sepd tunable, remove the sepd entry in the guest configuration file in the /var/opt/hpvm/guestname/ directory, where guestname is the name of the guest that was packaged under Integrity VM A.01.20.

Guest Toolkit Removal

To remove the Integrity VM A.01.20 guest toolkit, remove the hpvmsgping script from guests that were created with the toolkit. The hpvmsgping monitor script consists of the hpvmsgping script, a configuration file, and the links used to start and stop the script during system boot and shutdown. Removal of these files does not affect the currently running guests or the availability of the system. Delete the associated files using the rm command. For example:

# rm /sbin/init.d/hpvmsgping /sbin/rc2.d/K003hpvmsgping /sbin/rc3.d/S801hpvmsgping /etc/hpvmsgping.conf

Repackaging Guests

After you upgrade all the nodes in the multiserver environment to the current version of Integrity VM, repackage the guests. To repackage a guest:

  1. On the original node where the guest is running, run the hpvmsg_package command.

  2. Apply the package configuration using the cmapplyconf command.

  3. To provide Serviceguard protection immediately, restart the guest package after repackaging it.

For more information about using these commands, see Section .
