Chapter 2 New Features and Enhancements in this Version

Table of Contents

This chapter describes how the current version of Integrity VM has been enhanced over previous versions.

Guests can be configured as Serviceguard packages. A guest configured this way is called a “distributed guest.”
Guests can run Serviceguard, allowing applications to fail over.
Guests can run Microsoft® Windows Server 2003™ (with Service Pack 1).
Enhancements to the hpvmmigrate command include:
- A running guest is automatically stopped before migration.
- Distributed guests (configured as Serviceguard packages) are not disabled or deleted on the source system after a successful migration.
Storage enhancements include:
- Attached I/O (tape, changer, CD/DVD burner) can be used as backing stores and can be used as backup devices (SCSI devices for HP-UX guests only).
- Veritas Multipath (DMP) can be used on the VM Host for guest backing storage devices.
- Guests can have up to 30 storage devices.
- A storage device can hold up to 2 terabytes (2 TB).
Networking enhancements include:
- Support for Virtual LAN (VLAN).
