The Integrity VM commands have changed in the following ways:

  • A new online manpage (hpvmresources(1M)) describes the syntax for specifying virtual resources (storage and network devices) when creating or modifying a guest.

  • You can add attached devices (tape devices, autochangers, and CD/DVD burners) to an HP-UX guest using the —a option to the hpvmcreate, hpvmmodify, and hpvmclone commands.

  • To support various guest operating systems, the —O option to the hpvmcreate and hpvmmodify commands accept the following keywords:

    • HPUX

    • WINDOWS

    The keyword is not case-sensitive.

  • The hpvmcreate, hpvmmodify, and hpvmclone commands accept the new —i and —j options for processing virtual machines that are managed by HP Serviceguard or HP Global Workload Manager (gWLM). Do not use these options. They are intended for use by HP software only.

  • The hpvmnet command allows you to configure individual ports on a virtual switch so that they are isolated to a virtual LAN (VLAN). Any virtual network device (virtual network switch) that is connected to a port that has been configured with a VLAN ID is isolated to that VLAN. This capability enables a virtual machine to be isolated to the VLAN so that it can only communicate with other systems on that VLAN.

  • The hpvmstatus command has been enhanced to show:

    • The running condition of each guest (EFI, OS, or ATTN)

    • The number (RunSysId) of the VM Host on which the guest is running in the Serviceguard multiserver environment.

    • Information about the Serviceguard multiserver environment

    • The VLAN port number for specified virtual machines.

    The new option —d displays a list of virtual devices presented with the same syntax used by the Integrity VM commands.

  • The hpvmclone command allows you to specify the same virtual LAN (VLAN) ports on the cloned guest.
