• Hyperthreading no longer needs to be turned off in the Integrity VM Host before installing or
using Integrity VM. It is no longer necessary to specify:
/usr/sbin/setboot -m off
Integrity VM does not schedule on a per-thread basis. Scheduling is still done on a per-core
basis only. Keeping hyperthreading on in the VM Host does not provide extra CPU cores for
guests.
• Support for the following VM Host and guests — see Section 1.2 (page 13).
For more information about support, see the support tables in Chapter 11 (page 39).
• Support for networking HBA's AM225A, AM232A, and AM233A
