The SG IVS toolkit files and the HP Integrity VM Serviceguard toolkit are installed at different locations and can coexist. They can be individually upgraded without impacting the other. Also, the packages created using these toolkits, for two different VMs, can coexist and continue to use their respective files and commands.
IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you do not use the hpvmsg_move and hpvmsg_package commands with the package created using the SG IVS toolkit. Similarly do not use cmmovevpkg and cmdeployvpkg commands with package created using the HP Integrity VM toolkit.
NOTE:
•If you use the cmmovevpkg command with the package created using the HP Integrity VM toolkit, the Online VM migration succeeds, but you must manually
ERROR (cmmovevpkg): Unable to start package <package_name>
•If you use the hpvmsg_move command with the package created using the SG IVS toolkit, the hpvmsg_move command might fail on execution.
•Both the monitoring scripts, vswitchmon and vswitchmgr, provided by the HP Integrity VM toolkit and SG IVS toolkit respectively, to manage the vswitch continues to monitor the vswitch. If there is a LAN switchover, one of the scripts reconfigures the vswitch and the other script logs the appropriate warning in the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log. The script that logs the warning message, accepts the configuration done by the other script.
HP recommends that you convert the package created using the HP Integrity VM toolkit to the package using the SG IVS toolkit.
