HP UX vPars and Integrity VM v6 manual Installing VM Manager on HP Systems Insight Manager

•The VM Provider provides VM Host and guest configuration data. This information is delivered using WBEM. To use Integrity Virtual Machines Manager to view configuration data, install the VM Provider (VMProvider bundle) that is provided with Integrity VM. Install the VM Provider on the VM Host and on each virtual machine when you install the HP Integrity Virtual Machines product. If you upgrade Integrity VM, be sure to keep the VM Provider up to date, too. If the VM Provider version does not match the Integrity VM version, the Integrity Virtual Machines Manager might not work as expected.

As for guests, the VM provider is required to view guest configuration data. The VM Provider and Integrity VM versions need not match. A guest's VM Provider can be an earlier version than that of the Integrity VM running on the VM Host. However, HP recommends upgrading the guests to the latest version of VM Provider available, even if the latest available provider version is greater than the version of the Integrity VM currently installed on the VM Host. When the VM Host Integrity VM is upgraded, you are not required to upgrade the VM Provider on each of the guests, but HP recommends upgrading the VM Providers on the guests to at least match the version of the Integrity VM on the VM Host.

To install the VM Provider on the VM Host and guests, install the appropriate provider software from the operating system media or the Integrity VM guest management software kit.

•The Utilization Provider gathers utilization statistics for CPU, memory, disk, and LAN. This information is delivered using WBEM and gathers data using a daemon (/usr/sbin/utild). You must install the Utilization Provider on the VM Host and on each virtual machine.

Installing VM Manager on HP Systems Insight Manager

On HP Systems Insight Manager, system requirements for installing VM Manager are the same as requirements for installing Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX. You must have a license for at least one other component of Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX, such as HP Matrix OE visualization. You cannot access the functionality in VM Manager unless you have a license for, and have installed Integrity VM on, at least one system to be managed through your licensed Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX components.

For information about system requirements and installation instructions, see the HP Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX 7.0 Installation and Configuration Guide and the Insight managed system setup wizard getting started guide. This and other similar documentation is available from the HP Technical Documentation website:

NOTE: Do not install the VMMGR bundle (the bundle containing the VM Manager HP SMH plug-in) from the software depot onto the HP Systems Insight Manager CMS. For centralized Integrity VM management capabilities, install the VSEMgmt bundle (containing the VM Manager for HP Systems Insight Manager) from the software bundle.

Installing VM Manager on HP SMH

On HP SMH, VM Manager must be installed separately on a VM Host.

Integrity Virtual Machines Manager 4.3.0 requires JDK 6.0 for installation. Ensure that you have installed JDK 6.0 before installing Integrity Virtual Machines Manager 4.3.0.
