HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 and 7.3 Update 1 Logical Server Management User Guide

# hpvmdevmgmt -a gdev:/dev/slvm_v22:attr:VIRTPTYPE=container_volume_SLVM,PRESERVE=YES
NOTE: For a virtual machine created with SLVM Logical Volume, the SLVM volume group
must be part of container_volume_SLVM in order for the virtual machine to be imported
as a logical server.
• Import operations are supported for Integrity VMs that contain:
Physical (whole) disks on a SAN◦
◦ Virtual disks in a Shared Logical Volume Manager (SLVM) volume group
• Storage:
Online move operations are supported for virtual machines that are configured with virtual
disks backed by whole LUNs (from a previous import operation) or by SLVM logical
volumes or NPIV storage.
◦
◦ Create and add SLVM Volume Groups to the storage pool on the VM Host for the Create
Virtual Disk operation to run successfully.
All virtual disks will be a logical volume created in a Shared Logical Volume (SLVM)
Volume Group.
◦ Local storage is not supported for Integrity VM virtual machines.
◦ Suspend/Resume of Integrity VMs is not supported.
◦ For information on VM guest storage options, see “VM guest storage options ” (page 26).
• Network:
Create an Integrity VM virtual machine logical server using the following:◦
– Accelerated Virtual I/O (AVIO) network devices. The Integrity VM Host administrator
must create all required virtual switches that will be used by Integrity VM guests
before managing the Integrity VM Host.
– Direct I/O network devices (DIO). The Integrity VM Host administrator must ensure
that the required Direct I/O network devices are added to the Direct I/O network
pool for guests, and labelled with a network name. For example:
# hpvmhwmgmt -p dio -a 0/0/0/5/0/0/1
# hpvmhwmgmt -p dio -m 0/0/0/5/0/0/1 -L public_network
◦ The vSwitch name can be a maximum of 8 characters. (This restriction is important if you
intend to manage Integrity VM logical servers and cross-technology logical servers [ESX
virtual machine and Virtual Connect logical servers], because, for cross-technology logical
servers, at least one network in the VC Domain Group must be named identically to a
vSwitch on the ESX Host.)
