HP Virtual Server Environment Management for Integrity Version 4.0 Release Notes

HP Integrity VM Manager
• Compatibility with HP Integrity Virtual Machines version 3.5 (A.03.50).
• Support for creating HP-UX 11i v3 and Linux virtual machines, using the Create Virtual
Machine wizard. For more information, see the VM Manager online help.
• Support of Accelerated Virtual Input/Output (AVIO) network and storage devices. AVIO
storage devices can be added to a new virtual machine by using the Create Virtual Machine
wizard. To add devices to an existing virtual machine, select Modify→Add Storage Device
to Virtual Machine... and Modify→Add Network Device to Virtual Machine.... For more
information about the Create Virtual Machine wizard and Modify menu, see the VM Manager
help and the HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager Version 3.5 Getting Started Guide. For more
information about AVIO, see the HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and
Administration manual.
• Support for viewing VM Host and virtual machine event logs maintained by the Integrity
Virtual Machines product on the VM Host. View→Integrity VM log for VM Host allows
you to display the events pertaining to the VM Host and guests. The display is the result of
running hpvmstatus -e on the VM Host. The display includes a summary of Integrity
VM commands executed on the VM Host plus other information.
View→Integrity VM log for VM allows you to display the events pertaining to the selected
virtual machines. The display is the result of running hpvmstatus -e -P vm-name on
the VM Host. To use this option, one or more virtual machines must be selected on the
current screen.
For more information, see the VM Manager online help and the HP Integrity Virtual Machines
Manager Version 3.5 Getting Started Guide.
• Deleting a virtual machine using VM Manager from HP SIM and VSE Management Software
now results in the virtual machine also being deleted from HP SIM. In addition, when
creating a virtual machine using VM Manager, VM Manager now initiates re-identification
of the VM Host by HP SIM so that the new virtual machine is recognized and added to HP
SIM.
NOTE: The HP SIM identification process may take a minute or two to complete. If you
return to Virtualization Manager immediately after creating a virtual machine, the virtual
machine might not yet be included in the Virtualization Manager view but appears
automatically when identification completes. For information about a similar disjunction
between VM manager actions and the Virtualization Manager view, see “A Virtual Machine
Deleted Soon After Being Created Might Appear in Virtualization Manager” (page 53).
