Upgrading to Integrity VM Version 4.0 from 3.X

http://docs.hp.com. You can also find a guide to using DRD there – Using the DRD Toolset to Extend

the /stand File System in an LVM Environment.

Getting and Running Update-UX

Once you’ve performed all the preparation steps (backups created, guests shut down, file system sizes

confirmed, etc.), get the appropriate version of update-ux. This software is always on the Operating

Environment media (and in OE depots) in the bundle Update-UX (case is mandatory). To install it,

enter the following command:

swinstall –s /dev/dvd Update-UX

It is a good practice to take advantage of the preview mode (-p). Issues with unexpected file system

growth, incorrect or insufficient update-ux command-line options and other problems are flagged

without modifying the system. If you are updating to an OE that is equivalent to the one currently

installed, it is not necessary to specify it, otherwise such a specification is required. The command

preview verifies your specific situation and indicates exactly what would be updated based on the

command.

Once you’ve run the command preview and you’ve approved the expected result state, you can run

the command in regular mode, which forces a reboot.

If you updated to an Operating Environment that does not contain Integrity VM, insert the Application

Release (AR) media, and use swinstall to install the Integrity VM software. For example, the following

command installs Integrity VM and VMMGR:

swinstall –x autoreboot=true –s /dev/DVD T2767BC VMMGR

Alternatively, if you want to update Integrity VM from the Operating Environment media (not

recommended, the AR media is easier) after the OE itself has been updated, you must first insert

DVD1 and install VMkernelSW:

swinstall –x autoreboot=true –s /dev/DVD VMkernelSW

After that, insert DVD2 and update Integrity VM:

swinstall –x autoreboot=true –s /dev/DVD T2767BC

Please note that updating the software from the OE media like this means that you still need to get

VMmgr. We recommend that you get the latest version via a free download from the web

(http://software.hp.com, search for “VMMGR”). This will place the software as a depot file on your

system. Once it has been downloaded, you may install it with a command line like the following

(assuming the download was to /tmp):

swinstall –x autoreboot=true \

–s /tmp/VMMGR_A.04.00.00.01_HP-UX_B.11.31_IA.depot VMMGR

At this point, check the guests to see that they still boot correctly. Once they are up, ensure that you

have the latest guest kits. The installation media for the latest guest kits are placed on the VM Host

system in /opt/hpvm/guest-images/ for all of the supported guest operating systems. Also make sure

that you have the latest AVIO software for both the host and the guests by checking at

http://software.hp.com. Once you have verified this, install these bundles on each guest.

If you use physical device backed storage (as opposed to file backed or logical volume backed), to

take full advantage of 11i v3’s Agile IO, run hpvmdevtranslate. This process is documented after the

Update Steps, below.
