HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.3: Installation, Configuration, Administration

Depending on the system configuration, you might see an error similar to the following when
running cmcheckconf or cmapplyconf to the virtual machine packages:
# cmapplyconf -P /etc/cmcluster/hpvm-sg1-g4/hpvm-sg1-g4.conf
Incorrect permissions for /etc/cmcluster/hpvm-sg1-g4 (40777). Directory must be executable for owner, and not
writable by group and others on node hpvm-sg1-h1.
cmapplyconf: Error found in package file: /etc/cmcluster/hpvm-sg1-g4/hpvm-sg1-g4.conf.
To correct this issue, use a chmod command similar to the following to correct the permission
of the package directory on each of the cluster members:
# chmod go-w /etc/cmcluster/hpvm-name
10.3.6 Operating System and Software Requirements
The following software is assumed to be properly installed and configured:
• Appropriate HP-UX version and the Data Center OE
• HP-UX patches
• Serviceguard Depots, if not included in the OE
• Serviceguard Patches
• Integrity VM Depot, if not included in the OS and OE
• Integrity VM Patches
Additionally, depending on your particular requirements, the following optional products might
also need to be installed and configured:
• APA (HP-UX 11i v2 only)
• SecurePath (HP-UX 11i v2 only)
• SMS 5.0 Depots (provides CFS/CVM)
• SGeRAC Depot (provides SLVM) — T1907BA A.11.19.00 Serviceguard Extension for RAC
10.3.7 Creating the Package Configuration
The interrelated configuration of the Serviceguard cluster, VM Host, virtual machine, guest, and
Serviceguard package dictates that all components be configured and created in a particular
sequence. The following steps provide a sequence of activities, which is one of many ways to
create a VMs as Serviceguard Packages configuration. Virtualization and Serviceguard Managers
might be used as alternatives when appropriate. Note, some steps are performed on all nodes,
the primary node, or the secondary nodes.
1. On all nodes, perform the following steps:
a. Configure networks (IP address, APA, VLANS).
b. Run the hpvmnet command to configure the vswitch for guest access.
c. Configure the MSE using the hpvmdevmgmt command.
d. Configure the lock disk or quorum server.
e. Configure storage: LVM, shared LVM, VxVM, and file systems.
2. On the primary node, perform the following steps:
a. Run the cmquerycl command to create Serviceguard ASCII configuration file.
b. Edit configuration file to insure that the cluster name, networks usage, LVM devices,
and lockdisk or quorum server are correct.
c. Run the Serviceguard command cmcheckconf to check the configuration and
cmapplconf command to apply the configuration file.
d. Run the cmruncl command to start the cluster.
3. On all nodes, perform the following step:
a. Configure CFS and CVM system-wide packages and guest storage devices and packages.
4. On the primary node, perform the following steps:
