New Features and Enhancements in This Version of Integrity VM

This section describes how the current version of Integrity VM has been enhanced over previous versions. For more information about these enhancements, refer to the HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration manual.

Guests can run any of the following operating systems:
- HP-UX 11.23 (May 2005 [0505] or later)
- HP-UX 11.31
- Windows 2003 (Enterprise or Datacenter edition)
- RedHat Linux Enterprise Edition Advanced Server Release 4 update 4.
Administrators can dynamically change the size of memory allocated to the HP-UX guest. This feature includes:
- Changes to the hpvmcreate, hpvmmodify, and hpvmclone commands to configure the guest.
- Changes to the hpvmstatus command to view dynamic memory data for a configured guest.
- A new guest-only utility (hpvmmgmt) to view guest dynamic memory data.
Networking enhancements include:
- Administrators can change the physical network interface card (pNIC) for a vswitch using the -C option to the hpvmnet command.
- Administrators can clone the selected vswitch to a newly named vswitch using the —N option to the hpvmnet command. The cloned vswitch will have the same VLAN port information configuration data as the parent vswitch.
Multiple virtual machine administrator and operator accounts can be created to manage virtual machines remotely.
Workloads can be migrated from a physical Integrity system or nPar to a virtual machine using the P2V (physical to virtual) assistant.
Attached I/O (tape, changer, CD/DVD burner) can be used as backing storage by all types of guests.
