Once you have read the product Release Notes and verified that you have met the proper system requirements as described in “Installation Requirements,” install the Integrity VM software as described in this section.

NOTE: Installing the Integrity VM software requires the system to reboot.

To install the HP Integrity VM software, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare the depot to be used for installing Integrity VM. (For information about software depots, refer to the Software Distributor Administration Guide). This step is optional, but preparing a depot for the software bundles reduces the number of times the system must reboot during the installation process.

  2. If you have the installation media, mount it.

    If you are installing from the network, identify the VM Host and pathname that corresponds to the SD depot that contains the T2767AC bundle (for example, my.server.foo.com:/depot/path).

  3. Use the swinstall command to install Integrity VM and specify the path to the depot. For example:

    # swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s my.server.foo.com:/depot/path T2767AC

    If you are using the GUI (swinstall — i), perform the following steps:

    1. Enter the following commands:

       # export DISPLAY=your display variable
      # swinstall
    2. Select the Integrity VM bundle (T2767AC) from the list presented by the GUI.

  4. After the installation completes, you can install the optional VMProvider bundle. To install VMProvider, enter the following command:

    # swinstall -x autoreboot=true -s my.server.foo.com:/depot/path VMProvider

  5. Unmount and remove any installation media. The VM Host system automatically reboots, if necessary.

The installation is now complete, with the following results:

  • Integrity VM is installed in the /var/opt/hpvm directory.

  • Integrity VM data files are installed under the /var/opt/hpvm directory.

  • Integrity VM commands are installed in the /opt/hpvm/bin directory. For a list of Integrity VM commands, see Appendix A.

  • Table 3–2 lists the kernel parameters that are modified.
