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

Installation of HP-UX OE in a vPar from a boot media (DVD or ISO image file):
Add the media as a virtual DVD to the vPar using the vparmodify command. Boot the vPar
to EFI and select virtual disk to boot HP-UX. See the vPar Commands Manual to know how to
specify and add a virtual DVD to a vPar V6.1.5.
7. If the vPar is using HP-UX 11i v3 September 2011, install VirtualBase on the vPar from the
DVD:
swinstall –x autoreboot=true –s <DVD dsf> VirtualBase
NOTE: Starting with the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2012 release, VirtualBase is installed by
default.
3.1.3 Integrity VM installation requirements
To prepare your VSP system for Integrity VM installation, your configuration must satisfy the
hardware, software, and network requirements described in this section.
Before you install this product, read the HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM V6.1.5 Release Notes, which
are available on the product media. The most up-to-date release notes are available on http://
www.hp.com/go/hpux-hpvm-docs.
You must install Integrity VM Version 6.1.5 software on a system that is running HP-UX 11i v3.
You can install Integrity VM on a hard partition (nPar) running HP-UX, but do not attempt to install
Integrity VM on a virtual partition (vPar). Integrity VM cannot be installed on a system that has
HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars) software installed. There is a check during the Integrity VM installation
that prevents this occurrence. If you override the Integrity VM installation warnings and force this
installation, you receive errors during the start of Integrity VM.
The resources on the VSP system (such as disks, network bandwidth, memory, and processing
power), are shared by the VSP and all the running guests. Guests running simultaneously share
the remaining memory and processing power. By default, network devices are also sharable among
guests. Some resources must be made exclusive to the VSP, such as the VSP operating system boot
disk.
Table 7 describes the minimum configuration requirements for installing Integrity VM on the VSP
system.
