HP vPars and Integrity Virtual Machines V6.1 Administrator Guide

NOTE: Installing the vPars and 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:
1. If you have the installation media, mount it.
If you are installing from the network, identify the VSP and path name that correspond to the
software distribution depot that contains the BB068AA bundle (for example,
my.server.foo.com:/depot/path).
2. Use the swinstall command to install Integrity VM and specify the path to the depot. For
example:
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s my.server.foo.com:/depot/path BB068AA VirtualBase
Install the HP-UX GUID Manager with the BB068AA and VirtualBase bundles.
If you are using the GUI (swinstall -i), perform the following steps:
a. Enter the following commands:
# export DISPLAY=your display variable
# swinstall
b. Select the HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM bundle (BB068AA) from the list presented by
the GUI.
The VSP 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/
and /backup directories) are saved to the /var/opt/hpvm/backups directory. If you revert
to the older version of Integrity VM, you can use the backup configuration files to restore your
VSP and guest configurations.
3. Unmount and remove any installation media. The VSP system automatically reboots, if
necessary.
4. Once the Integrity VM software is installed and running, the VSP 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.
