this case, the shared storage must be defined as VM guest storage devices that are exclusively

used by a specific VM guest.

The easy deployment script, cmdeployvpkg, offered by the toolkit is used to create the

Serviceguard package configuration file to deploy high availability solution to VM guests in

Serviceguard environment. This script determines the cluster shared backing store and application

data storage used by the VM guest to be packaged. Also, it adds the appropriate logical volume

and mount point entries into the package configuration file for VM guest failover.

For more information on configuring shared storage for HP Serviceguard clusters, see Managing

Serviceguard Twentieth Edition, August 2011 manual available at http://www.hp.com/go/

hpux-serviceguard-docs.

NOTE: After a VM is configured as a Serviceguard package, you must not use HP Integrity VM

commands, such as hpvmstart, and hpvmstop to start or stop the VM directly from the VM

Host. Run the script cmdeployvpkg with “-m 1” option to enable maintenance mode, and then

you can use HP Integrity VM commands.

For example, # cmdeployvpkg -m 1 -P vm1.
