HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.3: Installation, Configuration, Administration
HPVM_OVMM_ENCRYPT_BY_DEFAULT variable to 0,
changes this default behavior.
-y
Requires encryption negotiation and sends guest memory
data with protection.
You can modify the default behavior by setting variables
in the /etc/rc.config.d/hpvmconf file using the
ch_rc command. The variable
HPVM_OVMM_ENCRYPT_BY_DEFAULT controls whether
any attempt at encryption negotiation is done. The default
setting of 1 attempts an encryption negotiation. The
variable HPVM_OVMM_ENCRYPT_ALGORITHM can be
changed from its default value of aes-128–cbc to aes-256–cbc
for sites with stronger security concerns.
If you do not specify either the -Y or the -y option, and
you set the HPVM_OVMM_ENCRYPT_BY DEFAULT variable
to its default setting of 1, the target-host-alisas-or-IP-addr
name given to the -h option for an online migration is
examined to see whether it matches the private network
convention for guest migration. If the name given ends in
—hpvm-migr, or if such a name was chosen because of
finding a match in the /etc/hosts file, encryption is
suppressed for the private network. The default is to
encrypt guest data for all other connections. Explicit use
of the -Y or -y option, as well as changing the
HPVM_OVMM_ENCRYPT_BY_DEFAULT variable to 0,
changes this default behavior.
RETURN VALUES
The hpvmmigrate command exits with one of the following values:
0: Successful completion.
1: One or more error conditions
occurred.
2: One or more operational failures
occurred.
DIAGNOSTICS
The hpvmmigrate command displays error messages on stderr for any of the following
conditions:
• An invalid option is specified.
• An invalid value is specified for an option.
• A value is omitted for an argument that requires one, or a value is supplied for an argument
that does not take one.
• The source-vm-name or source-vm-number attribute does not exist, cannot be accessed,
is not a virtual machine, or is corrupt.
• SSH does not seem to be properly configured between the source and the target VM Hosts.
• The hpvmmigrate command and Integrity Virtual Machines are at different revision levels.
• The virtual machine already exists on the target VM Host and is Runnable, or the virtual
machine name exists on the target but the configuration has a different UUID.
• The guest is running, and online migration is not being used. Or, the virtual machine is not
running, and online migration is attempted.
