Integrity VM provides specific software for each type of guest
operating system. This guest management software enhances guest performance,
enables Integrity VM commands, and includes providers for virtual
management software, such as VM Manager. The locations and contents
of the guest management kits are modified in this version of Integrity
VM. The guest management software is required on each guest.
Guest management software is installed on the guest either remotely,
from a software depot, or locally, after being copied to the guest.
The guest management software is located in the /opt/hpvm/guest-images directory. Table 1-1 lists the location of the guest management software kit for each
type of guest operating system. The instructions for installing the
guest management software are provided in README.txt files in these directories.
Table 1-1 Guest Management Software Kit Locations
| Guest Operating System | Guest Management Software Location |
|---|
| HP-UX 11i v2 | /opt/hpvm/guest-images/hpux/11iv2 |
| HP-UX 11i v3 | /opt/hpvm/guest-images/hpux/11iv3 |
| Linux | /opt/hpvm/guest-images/linux |
| Windows | /opt/hpvm/guest-images/windows |
Installing the guest management software kit causes the guest
to reboot.
Whenever you upgrade Integrity VM, reinstall the guest kit on
all the guests. This ensures that guests run well and continue to
be manageable and supportable. Failure to install and upgrade the
guest management software on each guest can cause problems that are
difficult to diagnose and solve.
