HPVM 4.1 Support for Windows 2008 Guests
HPVM 4.1 supports Windows 2008 guests, and you can use cmappmgr to monitor
processes on these guests.
To enable this capability you need to do the following:
• Install the HPVM 4.1 July patches.
See the latest version of the HP Integrity Virtual Machines Version 4.1 Release Notes,
which you can find on docs.hp.com under HP Virtual Server Environment
(VSE)-> HP Integrity Virtual Machines.
• Install the Windows 2008 guest operating system on the host.
• edit C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\cmappserver\conf\
wrapper.conf on the Windows 2008 guest to insert the following line:
wrapper.java.additional.1=-Dos.name="Windows 2003"
This should go after the following lines:
#Java Additional Parameters
#wrapper.java.additional.1=-Dprogram.name=C:\Program
Files\Hewlett-Packard\cmappserver\cmappserver.bat
Serviceguard Manager
HP Serviceguard Manager B.02.00 is a web-based, HP System Management Homepage
(HP SMH) tool, that replaces the functionality of the earlier Serviceguard management
tools. Serviceguard Manager allows you to monitor, administer and configure a
Serviceguard A.11.19 cluster from any system with a supported web browser.
Serviceguard Manager does not require additional software installation. Instead, using
your browser, you log into an HP Systems Management Homepage (SMH) and access
the HP Serviceguard Manager tool, as well as other system management tools.
The HP Serviceguard Manager Main Page provides you with a summary of the health
of the cluster including the status of each node and its packages.
DSAU Integration
HP Serviceguard Manager uses Distributed Systems Administration Utilities (DSAU)
to display consolidated cluster log (syslog) and consolidated package logs.
You can find more information on DSAU in the Distributed Systems Administration
Utilities User’s Guide, available from http://docs.hp.com -> Network and
Systems Management -> System Administration.
