Installing on a virtual operating system 125
Virtualized environment configuration
HP recommends installing HPPP clients on the virtual layer of the virtualized host.
Implement the following configurations:
• Enable hardware support for virtualization on the host BIOS. For information about enabling
virtualization, see the BIOS documentation.
• To enable automatic booting of the virtual host, configure the physical machine for automatic OS
booting upon startup.
• Install PV Tools (XenTools) on each virtual machine. For instructions, see the XenServer installation
guide.
• For Xen with RHEL or Debian, install GPL Para virtualized (PV) drivers on each Windows virtual
machine.
• To install drivers for KVM with RHEL 6 or Debian 5, see the KVM virtualization host configuration and
installation guide.
UPS devices through RS232 (serial) connectivity are not supported on RHEL.
Virtualized environment network configuration
To configure the network:
1. Be sure that all hardware elements have an operational network configuration to communicate freely
with each hardware element. Check firewalls and blockers.
2. Enable the following TCP/UDP ports on the firewall:
a. For TCP port 4679 and 4680, enable remote access for supervision and configuration through a
web browser.
b. For TCP port 80 on the machine hosting HPPP, open a destination port for output.
3. Configure communication between HPPP and the HP Network Module:
iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 4679 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 4680 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 4679 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 4680 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp --dport 4679 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp --dport 4680 -j ACCEPT
service iptables save
