To install guest management software on an HP-UX guest, select the appropriate version of
HP-UX:
• 11iv2 indicates HP-UX 11.23.
For HP-UX 11i v2 guests, the guest depot file:
/opt/hpvm/guest-images/hp-ux/11iv2/hpvm_guest_depot.11iv2.sd
• 11iv3 indicates HP-UX 11.31.
For HP-UX 11i v3 guests, the guest depot file is:
/opt/hpvm/guest-images/hpux/11iv3/hpvm_guest_depot.11iv3.sd
Before installing the guest kit (bundle HPVM-Guest), preview the install task allowing the
installation analysis. This provides the opportunity to identify and address any warnings that
might result from this preview before proceeding with the installation. For example, the analysis
phase includes checks for installation of the appropriate AVIO drivers on the guest. To preview
the installation, use the -p option of swinstall as shown in the following example:
swinstall -p -x autoreboot=true -s path to hpvm_guest_depot.11iv#.sd HPVM-Guest vmProvider
You might see the following warning on an Integrity VM guest installed on an HP-UX 11i v2
prior to December 2007:
WARNING: Recommended bundle GUESTAVIOLAN not installed on guest.
WARNING: Recommended bundle GUESTAVIOSTOR not installed on guest.
WARNING: The "checkinstall" script for "vmTools.VMTOOLS-RUN" had a
warning (exit code "2"0. The script location was
"/var/tmp/BAAa05960/catalog/vmTools/VMTOOLS-RUN/chekinstall".
* This script had warnings but the execution of this fileset
will still proceed. Check the above output from the script
for further details.
Each guest management software directory contains a README file that describes how to install
the guest management software for that type of guest. For information about any additional
software updates that you should also install on your guests, see the HP Integrity Virtual Machines
4.3: Release Notes.
8.7 Using the Virtual Console
Each virtual machine has its own virtual console from which to power on or off the virtual
machine, boot the guest operating system or shut it down, and so on. The hpvmconsole command
connects to the virtual console of a specified virtual machine.
To start the virtual console for the guest named host1, enter the following command:
# hpvmconsole -P host1
vMP MAIN MENU
CO: Console
CM: Command Menu
CL: Console Log
SL: Show Event Logs
VM: Virtual Machine Menu
HE: Main Help Menu
X: Exit Connection
[host1] vMP>
To return to the virtual console when the display is in the EFI, press Ctr/B. Use the co command
to open the virtual console. For example:
