Upgrading to Integrity VM Version 4.0 from 3.X

– T2787AC Virtualization Manager (this is not the Virtual Machines Manager, but part of

the VSE Management Suite)

 You can select the following:

– Serviceguard and/or performance monitoring and error handling/diagnostics software.

If you installed the Operating Environment without Integrity VM (by using the Base OE, for instance),

insert the Application Release (AR) media, and use swinstall to install the Integrity VM software. For

example, the following command installs Integrity VM and the SMH plug-in version of Integrity Virtual

Machines Manager:

swinstall –x autoreboot=true –s /dev/DVD T2767BC VMMGR

Alternatively, if you want to install Integrity VM from the Operating Environment media (not

recommended, the AR media is easier) after the Operating Environment itself has been installed, you

must first insert DVD1 and install VMkernelSW:

swinstall –x autoreboot=true –s /dev/DVD VMkernelSW

After that, insert DVD2 and install Integrity VM:

swinstall –x autoreboot=true –s /dev/DVD T2767BC

Please note that installing the software from the Operating Environment media like this means that you

still need to get VMmgr. We recommend that you get the latest version via a free download from the

web (http://software.hp.com, search for “VMMGR”). This will place the software as a depot file on

your system. Once it has been downloaded, you may install it with a command line like the following

(assuming the download was to /tmp):

swinstall –x autoreboot=true \

–s /tmp/VMMGR_A.04.00.depot VMMGR

Once the Operating Environment and Integrity VM software are installed on the VM Host, it will be

necessary to restore /var/opt/hpvm. If there are any non-root LVM volumes, it will also be necessary

to run vgscan(1M) and vgimport(1M). These tools can be run either directly through the command

line, or through SMH. The guests should all be bootable once that is done.

At this point, ensure that you have the latest guest kits and guest AVIO software by checking at

http://software.hp.com. Once you have verified this, install these bundles on each guest.

If you use physical device backed storage (as opposed to file backed or logical volume backed), to

take full advantage of 11i v3’s Agile IO, run hpvmdevtranslate. This process is documented after the

Update Steps, below.

Update Steps

This process involves using update-ux to upgrade the host’s root volume group in place, preserving the

existing system configuration information. A pictorial summary is in Figure 4, below.
