HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM V6.1.5 Administrator Guide (5900-2295, April 2013)

3.3 Inhibitors to installing HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM
The following items block HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM Version 6.1.5 from installing:
• Hierarchical Files System (HFS) files in the /etc/fstab file. You must remove any entries
before installing Integrity VM. Check for these entries with the following command:
# grep -i hfs /etc/fstab
• HP System Insight Manager (HP SIM) Server bundle. Check for this product with the following
command:
# swlist | grep HPSIM-HP-UX
• HP-UX Virtual Partitions bundle, v5.x or earlier. Check for this product with the following
command:
# swlist -l bundle | grep VirtualPartition
3.4 Verifying the installation of vPars and Integrity VM
To verify that Integrity VM installed successfully, enter the following command:
# hpvminfo
hpvminfo: Running on an HPVSP.
To see exactly what versions of specific bundles are installed, enter the swlist command and
look for the following bundles:
BB068AA B.06.10.05 HP-UX vPars & Integrity VM v6.1.5
GUIDMGR A.01.00.579 HP-UX GUID Manager
VirtualBase B.06.10.05 Base Virtualization Software
(Specific version numbers on your installation may not match the examples in this manual.)
When you install Integrity VM, the file /etc/rc.config.d/hpvmconf is created to record the
product configuration.
3.5 Removing vPars or Integrity VM
To remove the vPars and Integrity VM product, you must remove the following software bundles:
• BB068AA
• VirtualBase
# swremove –x autoreboot=true BB068AA VirtualBase
vPars and VMs are not affected by this procedure. To remove vPars/VMs, see the procedures in
“Removing a virtual partition” (page 69) and Section 7.7 (page 101).
NOTE: If you purchased the OVMM bundle, T8718AC, you should remove this software bundle
as well.
3.6 Reserving VSP devices
You can protect the storage and network resources used by the VSP against usage and corruption
by virtual machines by marking the VSP devices as restricted devices. For example, you can reserve
the disk storage on which the VSP operating system and swap space reside, which prevents guests
from being able to access the same disk storage devices. The hpvmdevmgmt command allows
you to establish restricted devices.
For example, to restrict the /dev/rdisk/disk1 device, enter the following command:
# hpvmdevmgmt –a rdev:/dev/rdisk/disk1
To complete the restriction of volumes, each device included in the volume must also be restricted.
For more information about using the hpvmdevmgmt command, see Section 11.11 (page 193).
