DescriptionResource
Sufficient disk space for the following:
• The VSP operating system (see the HP-UX 11i v2 Installation and Update Guide or
HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide)
• The VSP software (130 MB)
• Disk space for each guest operating system, including swap space
NOTE: The VSP requires swap space only as recommended by HP-UX 11i v3.
Otherwise, no swap space is required for Integrity VM.
• Disk space for the applications running on each guest
• 4.7 MB for each running guest as the allowance for backing up configuration files
For information about configuring storage devices for guests, see Chapter 9 (page 109).

3.1.4 Installing Integrity VM V6.1.5
This section describes the installation procedure to use if you have never installed Integrity VM on
your system. If you are updating your HP-UX 11i v2 operating system to HP-UX 11i v3, and
subsequently want to update Integrity VM V3.5 to Integrity VM V6.1.5, see Section 4.1 (page 43).
If you are updating Integrity VM V4.0 or later to Integrity VM V6.1.5, see Section 4.2.
Once you have read the product release notes and verified that you have met the system
requirements, install the vPars and Integrity VM software as described in this section.
NOTE: Installing the vPars and Integrity VM software requires the system to reboot. Therefore,
the swinstall command line installation includes the autoreboot=true parameter.
To install the HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM software, follow these steps:
1. If you have the installation media, mount it.
If you are installing from the network, identify the VSP and path name that correspond to the
software distribution depot that contains the BB068AA and VirtualBase bundles (for example,
my.server.foo.com:/depot/path).
2. Use the swinstall command to install Integrity VM and specify the path to the depot. For
example, the following command installs Integrity VM:
# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s my.server.foo.com:/depot/path BB068AA VirtualBase
If you are using the GUI (swinstall -i), perform the following steps:
a. Enter the following commands:
# export DISPLAY=your display variable
# swinstall
b. Select the vPars and Integrity VM V6.1.5 bundle, BB068AA, and the VirtualBase bundle
from the list presented by the GUI.
NOTE: The Online VM Migration feature is provided as a separate product (T8718AC)
on the HP-UX 11i v3 Application Software (AR) DVD, as well as in the VSE-OE and DC-OE.
This product is a separately installed ISU (Independent Software Unit) bundle, which is
purchased separately.
