HP vPars and Integrity Virtual Machines V6.1 Release Notes

• Microsoft Windows, Linux , and OpenVMS guests are not supported. Version 4.2.5 was the
last version to support Microsoft Windows and Linux guests.
• Use of legacy device special files (DSFs) to define virtual storage.
Support for the use of legacy DSFs to define virtual storage (including virtual disks and DVDs)
are deprecated. Customers should begin planning to use persistent (agile) DSFs when defining
their virtual storage devices. HP recommends the use of persistent DSFs (for example, those
with pathnames such as /dev/rdisk/disk##) for better storage availability and reliability.
To check for the use of legacy DSFs, use the following command:
# hpvmstatus -P guestname -d | grep -w rdsk
