Integrity VM provides specific software for each
type of guest operating system. This guest management software enhances
guest performance, enables Integrity VM commands, and includes providers
for virtual management software, such as VM Manager. The locations
and contents of the guest management kits are modified in this version
of Integrity VM. The guest management software is required on each
guest.
Guest management software is installed on the
guest either remotely, from a software depot, or locally, after being
copied to the guest. The guest management software is located in the /opt/hpvm/guest-images directory. Table 1-1 lists the location
of the guest management software kit for each type of guest operating
system. The instructions for installing the guest management software
are provided in README.txt files in these directories.
Table 1-1 Guest Management Software Kit Locations
| Guest Operating System | Guest Management Software Location |
|---|
| HP-UX 11i v2 | /opt/hpvm/guest-images/hpux/11iv2 |
| HP-UX 11i v3 | /opt/hpvm/guest-images/hpux/11iv3 |
| Linux | /opt/hpvm/guest-images/linux |
| Windows | /opt/hpvm/guest-images/windows |
Installing the guest management software kit causes
the guest to reboot.
Whenever you upgrade Integrity VM, reinstall the
guest kit on all the guests. This ensures that guests run well and
continue to be manageable and supportable. Failure to install and
upgrade the guest management software on each guest can cause problems
that are difficult to diagnose and solve.
