HP Integrity Virtual Machines Release Notes Version A.03.50

2 Installation Notes
This chapter contains notes about installing and upgrading Integrity VM and associated software
on the VM Host system.
2.1 Installing Integrity VM
This section describes information about installing the HP Integrity Virtual Machines product
and associated software on the VM Host system.
HP Integrity Virtual Machines A.03.50 is supported on HP Integrity servers or nPartitions running
HP-UX 11i v2 (December 2007 0712 or later). When you upgrade or reinstall Integrity VM, guests
are stopped, but they are not removed. When the new version of Integrity VM starts, the virtual
machines might also start, depending on the setting of the guest boot attribute.
NOTE: Version 3.5 of Integrity Virtual Machines requires the installation of both the
HostAVIOStor and HostAvioLan bundles. Other Integrity Virtual Machines documentation may
state this requirement is optional, but it is not.
For complete information about the requirements for installing Integrity VM, see the HP Integrity
Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration manual.
2.1.1 Install these Patches
Install the following patches, from the ITRC website (http://www.itrc.hp.com), after installing
Integrity VM:
• PHSS_37312 (Integrity VM)
• PHSS_37306 (VMagent)
Go to the http://software.hp.com and search for the keywords HPVM AVIO, to download and
install any AVIO web release bundles.
NOTE: Although the installation order does not matter, Integrity VM patches and AVIO web
release bundles cannot be installed using a single swinstall command.
2.1.2 Do not install Integrity VM V3.5 Kit on a Host Prior to HP–UX 0712
The HP Integrity VM Version 3.5 kit can be installed only onto an HP–UX 11i v2 0712 host. You
must upgrade to 0712 before you upgrade to the current version of Integrity VM. Any attempt
to install the Integrity VM Version 3.5 kit onto a host running any HP-UX system prior to 0712
does the following:
• Leaves the host in an unknown state.
• Installs the Integrity VM Version 3.5 T2767AC.VMCONVERT product, VMGuestLib, and
VMKernelSW bundles onto the host.
• Reboots the host.
The swlist command also shows the Integrity VM Version 3.5 bundles T2767AC, VMGuestLib
and VMKernelSW as installed after the host reboot. However, the Integrity VM Version 3.5
product does not install completely and can leave the host in an unknown state.
2.1.3 Integrity VM Includes the Foundation Operating Environment
The HP-UX Foundation Operating Environment (FOE) is included with Integrity VM. Install the
FOE on the VM Host on which you install Integrity VM. The license for the FOE (used in the VM
Host only) is included with the purchase of Integrity VM. (Licenses for OEs that run inside the
individual virtual machines must be purchased separately.)
