HP Integrity Virtual Server Manager 6.0 User Guide

Installing Virtual Server Manager on HP SMH
On HP SMH, Virtual Server Manager must be installed separately on a VSP.
Virtual Server Manager v6.0 requires JDK 6.0 for installation. Ensure that you have installed JDK
6.0 before installing Virtual Server Manager 6.0.
Download the Virtual Server Manager software depot from the following location:
http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=VMMGR
After downloading the depot, install the software. As a privileged user, execute the following
command, where path-to-depot-file is the full path specification to the depot file:
# swinstall -x mount_all_filesystems=false -s path-to-depot-file VMMGR
To determine the version of Virtual Server Manager currently installed, enter the following command:
#/usr/sbin/swlist VMMGR
NOTE: Beginning with the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009 Operating Environment Update Release
(OEUR), you can optionally install Virtual Server Manager on HP SMH as part of the VSE-OE or
DC-OE.
Licensing requirements
The licensing requirements for Virtual Server Manager on HP SMH include the following:
On HP SMH, Virtual Server Manager is installed separately on a VSP. You must have a license
for Integrity VM and have Integrity VM installed on that VSP. A separate license for Virtual Server
Manager is not required.
For information about licensing, see the readme file in the /opt/vmmgr/src directory (HP SMH).
You must purchase licenses for any software you run in a virtual partition, including the HP-UX
operating system and any HP or third-party layered software. You can purchase the licenses for
HP software under the HP Virtualization Licensing program. For more information, contact your
HP representative.
Setting security credentials
To display the full range of data about each virtual partition in Virtual Server Manager, you must
have WBEM-recognized credentials for each virtual partition. A user name and password are
required to collect resource utilization and other data, such as the status of the installed operating
system. This data is available only from a WBEM provider on the VSP or virtual partition. The
WBEM providers are the tools used to gather data about the virtual partition and the VSP. The
user interface uses this information to show various kinds of system status.
You can set credentials by specifying a default user name and password combination for any or
all virtual partitions. You can also override the default user name or password on a case-by-case
basis.
NOTE:
• For a given virtual partition, if no user name or password is specified, the default is used.
• If a password is specified but a user name is not, the default user name is used with the
password override. This allows a system administrator to use the same user name but different
passwords for each virtual partition.
When running Virtual Server Manager with Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX, Systems
Insight Manager is responsible for managing the credentials needed for using WBEM providers
on the VSP and on virtual partitions. When running Virtual Server Manager under HP SMH, HP
SMH manages credentials and access for the VSP on which HP SMH is running; credentials for
each virtual partition are managed by Virtual Server Manager.
