1.3 Integrity VM Media
The HP Integrity Virtual Machines V4.2 software is distributed on the HP-UX 11i v3 Operating
Environment media with the Virtual Server OS (VSE-OE) and the Data Center OE (DC-OE). To
install Integrity VM, select the optional software bundle for HP Integrity Virtual Machines
(T2767CC) prior to installing or updating HP-UX.
The Integrity VM software for HP-UX 11i v3 is delivered in the following ways:
• As a stand-alone product on the HP-UX 11i v3 Application Software (AR) DVD
• As a product included in the HP-UX 11i v3 VSE-OE
• As a product included in the HP-UX 11i v3 DC-OE
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.
1.4 Using AVIO with Integrity VM
AVIO is supported by multiple guest operating systems and is optional based on a properly
configured VM Host and changes to the guest operating systems. For AVIO support details, see
the HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2: Release Notes and the AVIO product documentation. You
must install and configure kernel drivers on both the VM Host and the guest systems. The guest
configuration file and the hpvmstatus command display the avio_lan and avio_stor
designators.
NOTE: HP strongly recommends that you use the same AVIO components from the same
release on both the VM Host and guests, for example, both from the OE or both from the same
Web Release (for example, WEB0803).
The following example shows the hpvmstatus command output of AVIO adapters for guest
avioclone:
