HP Integrity Virtual Machines Release Notes Version A.03.50

\EFI\Microsoft\WINNT50\Bootxxxx
4.2 HP-UX Guests
The following sections contain release notes specific to installing HP-UX guests.
4.2.1 Installing the Guest Management Software
The guest management software is required on each guest. The guest management software
ensures that guests have the required patches for optimum performance and manageability. It
enables the hpvmcollect and hpvminfo commands on the guest.
The guest management software is stored on the VM Host system in the /opt/hpvm/
guest-images directory. A subdirectory contains the guest management software for each
type of guest operating system, as shown in the following example:
# cd /opt/hpvm/guest-images
# ls
common hpux linux windows
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

"/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.
If the HPVM-Guest bundle is not installed in the guest, the /etc/rc.log file will record:
"/sbin/rc3.d/S829hpvmguestlib start" FAILED
Depending on the version of VMGuestLib installed on the guest, the text of the failure will be
one of the following:
