HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM V6.1.5 Administrator Guide (5900-2295, April 2013)

The username used to access and log into the virtual iLO Remote Console must have Guest
Administrator/Operator privileges. The following example creates a guest administrator name
guest1admin for the guest guest1. The hpvmmodify -u option is used to grant the guest
administrator privilege:
# useradd -d /var/opt/hpvm/guests/guest1 -c 'guest1 console' guest1admin
# passwd guest1admin
# hpvmmodify -P guest1 -u guest1admin:admin
# hpvmmodify –P pqsvm53 –K xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx –L xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
For more information, see Section 11.5 (page 178)
When a guest is migrated to another VSP using Online VM Migration (OVMM), the Integrity VM
virtual iLO virtual iLO Remote Console is also migrated to the new VSP. Before migration, the virtual
iLO Remote Console process is running on only the source VSP. After migration, the virtual iLO
Remote Console process is stopped on the source VSP. Any client that was connected to that virtual
iLO Remote Console is disconnected. A new virtual iLO Remote Console process is started on the
target VSP. New client connections to the virtual iLO Remote Console IP address are now sent to
the virtual iLO Remote Console process on the new VSP.
11.7.2 Integrity VM virtual iLO Remote Console limitations
The virtual iLO Remote Console feature has four limitations:
• The telnet method of connecting is not supported for the virtual iLO Remote Console by default,
only Secure Shell.
To add telnet support for virtual iLO Remote Console, you must install two additional HP-UX
enhancement patches, one for telnetd and one for the login (/usr/bin/login) command. If you
try to telnet to the virtual iLO Remote Console without these patches, an error message is sent
to the telnet client, and the connection is closed.
Install the following patches on the VSP:
◦ PHCO_41595
◦ PHNE_41452
• The virtual iLO Remote Console's SSH server host keys can change.
When an SSH client connects to an SSH server, the client downloads the server's host keys
and keeps a local copy (usually in a file such as ~/.ssh/known_hosts). On subsequent
connections, the SSH client verifies that the host key sent by the server matches the local copy.
If the keys do not match, the SSH client prints an error message.
The virtual iLO Remote Console uses the host system's SSH server host keys. If the guest is
migrated to another host system (using Online VM Migration), these host keys will change.
When an end user does an SSH connection, they will receive an error message. The end user
must manually delete the local copy of the host key. For additional information, see the ssh(1)
manpage .
• Guest Administrator accounts are not migrated during Online VM Migration (OVMM).
Any guest administrator accounts residing on the source VSP system are not automatically
migrated to the target VSP system during Online VM Migration (OVMM). You must manually
add any guest administrator accounts to the target VSP system, using the same useradd
commands performed on the source system. For information about creating guest administrator
and operator accounts, see (page 178).
• The virtual iLO Remote Console does not support rlogin connections.
