Upgrading to Integrity VM Version 4.0 from 3.X

Figure 1. Strategies Overview
Once you’ve selected your upgrade approach, you need to choose the appropriate Operating
Environment (OE). HP-UX 11i v3 is now available in a variety of OEs:
Base OE, which is roughly equivalent to 11i v2’s “Foundation OE” and “Technical
Computing OE”. Anyone who has purchased update services and who currently has either of
those operating environments has the right to receive this.
High Availability OE, which is roughly equivalent to 11i v2’s Mission Critical OE. None
of the 11i v2 OEs provide the right to receive this (For the update to the Mission Critical OE,
see the Data Center OE, below).
Virtual Server OE, which is roughly equivalent to 11i v2’s Enterprise OE plus Integrity
Virtual Machines, plus Virtual Partitions, plus the Virtual Server Environment Management Suite.
Anyone who has purchased update services and who currently has the Enterprise OE has the
right to receive this. Please note that although all of these products are on the media, they
cannot all be installed at the same time (more on this below).
Data Center OE, which contains all of the components of both the High Availability OE,
and the Virtual Server OE. Anyone who has purchased update services and who currently has
the Mission Critical OE has the right to receive this.
You can upgrade to Integrity VM Version 4.0 on top of any of these Operating Environments;
however, there are fewer reboots if you select either the Virtual Server or Data Center OEs. If you do
not select either of these, you need to get the Integrity Virtual Machines software off of the Application
Release (AR) media. The Integrity VM product is no longer distributed on independent media.
In either case, if the Integrity Virtual Machines Manager (VMMGR) Graphical User Interface (GUI)
which “plugs-in” to the System Management Homepage is desired, you need to install it from the
Application Release media. (Assuming you have the September, 2008 (Update 3) Release OE
Media. Later releases of the Operating Environments will have VMMGR included.) The GUI is
installed with the bundle “VMMGR” and does not require a reboot.
