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

The VSP and guest configuration files are stored at /var/opt/hpvm. The new configuration
files are not compatible with those of previous versions of Integrity VM. Therefore, if you are
upgrading to the current version, the guest configuration files (except the /ISO-Images/
directory) are saved to the /var/opt/hpvm/backups directory. If you revert to the older
version of Integrity VM, you can use the backup configuration files to restore your VSP and
guest configurations.
3. Unmount and remove any installation media. The VSP system automatically reboots, if
necessary.
4. Once the Integrity VM software is installed and running, the VSP is available. Enter the following
command to get information about the status of the guests:
# hpvmstatus
hpvmstatus: No guest information is available.
hpvmstatus: Unable to continue.
The installation is now complete, with the following results:
• The VirtualBase software is installed in the /opt/hpvm/guest-images directory.
• The Integrity VM software and data files are installed in the /var/opt/hpvm directory.
• The Integrity VM commands are installed in the /opt/hpvm/bin directory.
You can now create virtual machines using the hpvmcreate command, as described in Chapter 7
(page 77).
Integrity VM installation modifies certain kernel parameters. For this reason, you should not install
any other applications besides Integrity VM on the VSP system, regardless of whether guests are
running or not. The system management applications should be installed on the VSP, like SMH
and Glance. The kernel parameters that are modified when you install Integrity VM are:
• maxdsiz_64bit – 34359738368 (4294967296)
• filecache_min – 134217728 or 1% (1707212800)
• filecache_max – 134217728 or 1% (17072390144)
• lockable_mem_pct – 99% (90%)
• base_pagesize — 64 (4)
• vx_ninode — 131072 (0)
• vxfs_ifree_timelag — -1 (0)
• vxfs_bc_bufhwm — 64000 (0)
The first value is the modified value and the number in parenthesis is the default.
NOTE: With vPars and Integritry VM V6.1.5, the VSP has 64K as the base_pagesize tunable
setting. For more details, see the white paper on this topic, Tunable Base Page Size available from:
