To turn off a guest gracefully, follow the same procedure as if you were working with real hardware. If the guest hangs, cold reboot as you would real hardware

  1. At the guest console, enter ^B to access the virtual machine console.

  2. Enter the CM.

  3. Enter Y.

Then boot the guest.

The following are some common problems that can occur on guests, and how to solve them.

Problem:

Error messages regarding entitlement, such as the following:

unable to set the entitlement

Solution:

These messages usually occur because the resource allocation agent for Integrity VM is not installed or running. Refer to “Verifying the Installation of Integrity VM” in Chapter 3.

The hpvmstart or hpvmconsole command exits, aborts, or hangs.

Report the problem through your support channel. Refer to “Reporting Problems with Integrity VM” in Appendix B for more information.

  • Verify that the path name to the file-backing store is correct and that the physical storage device is mounted.
