HP vPars and Integrity Virtual Machines V6.1 Administrator Guide

of virtualization-related measurements. Note, Glance refers to virtual environments as logical
systems.
• Using HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM)
If you use gWLM within Insight Dynamics — Matrix OE to manage virtual machines, when
you upgrade the VSP, make sure the gWLM agent on that host is running gWLM A.07.01 or
greater. Also, the managing Insight Dynamics — VSE Central Management Station (CMS)
must be running A.07.00 or greater, as described in the HP Insight Dynamics —VSE 7.0:
Integrity CMS Installation and Configuration Guide. To upgrade the VSP, use the following
procedure:
1. Remove the gWLM agent using the following command:
# swremove gWLM-Agent
2. Upgrade to vPars and Integrity VM V6.1 as described in “Upgrading the VSP from
previous versions of Integrity VM” (page 43).
3. Upgrade the gWLM agent, as described in the HP Insight Dynamics — VSE 7.0: Integrity
CMS Installation and Configuration Guide.
If you install the current version of vPars and Integrity VM without upgrading to gWLM A.07.00
or later, and then attempt to use gWLM within Insight Dynamics — Matrix OE to manage
virtual environments, you will continue to see vPars as VMs and any attempt to manage them
will lead to unexpected scenarios. You will still be able to manage VMs with any gWLM
version greater than A.02.50.
• Using the HP Integrity Virtual Server Manager
The Virtual Server Manager product provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for vPars and
Integrity VM. It is available from either of the following management interfaces:
◦ HP System Management Homepage (SMH).
For more information about using Integrity Virtual Server Manager under SMH, see the
HP Integrity Virtual Server Manager v6.1 User Guide.
◦ HP Insight Dynamics — Matrix OE Management Software environment in the HP Systems
Insight Manager (SIM) on the Central Management Server (CMS).
For more information about Insight Dynamics — Matrix OE, see the HP Insight Dynamics
7.0 Getting Start Guide on the BSC website: http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/
support/SupportManual/c02048567/c02048567.pdf
Integrity Virtual Server Manager is designed to run on HP-UX 11i v3 with vPars and
Integrity VM V6.1. Earlier versions of Integrity Virtual Machines Manager (V3.0 and
earlier) do not install or run on an HP-UX 11i v3 VSP and cannot be used with vPars and
Integrity VM V6.1. Users upgrading to vPars and Integrity VM V6.1 must upgrade to
Integrity Virtual Server Manager V6.1. In addition, users of HP Insight Dynamics Virtual
Software Environment software versions earlier than V4.0 must upgrade to HP Insight
Dynamics — Matrix OE v7.0 (which contains Integrity Virtual Server Manager V6.1).
• Using HP Instant Capacity with Integrity VM
In an Integrity VM environment, Instant Capacity software provides meaningful functionality
only on the VSP; it does not run on a virtual machine (also known as a guest). In particular,
Instant Capacity commands report an error if an attempt to run on a virtual machine is made
from a guest. The user cannot run a GiCAP Group Manager on a guest, nor can specify a
guest in the host list for a GiCAP group member.
In the case of a vPar v6.1, Instant Capacity commands are supported on the VSP OS. However,
on the vPar v6.1 guest OS, you cannot execute Instant Capacity commands directly to activate
or deactivate the cores. For an activation operation, first activate the cores on the VSP OS
using the icapmodify command and then execute the vparmodify command to complete
