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.
hpvmcollect: Collects crash dumps, logs, system status, and configuration on
host and guest. Runs on the VM Host and on guests.
hpvmconsole: Connects to the console of a virtual machine. Runs on the VM Host.
hpvmcreate: Creates a new virtual machine. Runs on the VM Host.
hpvmdevmgmt: Manages the device database. Runs on the VM Host.
hpvmdevtranslate: Translates Integrity VM guests to agile devices.
hpvmhostrdev: Manages virtual machine access to devices used by the Integrity
VM Host system.
hpvminfo: Displays information about the Integrity VM environment. Runs on
the VM Host and on guests.
hpvmmgmt: Manages the guest memory allocation. Runs on guests only.
hpvmmigrate: Moves a virtual machine from one VM Host to another. Runs on the

hpvmnet: Configures virtual network devices. Runs on the VM Host.
hpvmremove: Removes a virtual machine. Runs on the VM Host.
hpvmsar: Displays performance information about one or several guests on
the same host.
hpvmstart: Starts a virtual machine. Runs on the VM Host.
hpvmstatus: Displays status of one or more virtual machines. Runs on the VM
Host.
hpvmstop: Stops a virtual machine. Runs on the VM Host.
hpvmupgrade: Assists an Integrity VM upgrade.
p2vassist: Moves a system workload from a discreet server to a virtual machine.
