NAME

hpvm — HP Integrity Virtual Machines (Integrity VM).

SYNOPSIS

Virtualization technology

DESCRIPTION

HP Integrity Virtual Machines allows the creation and management of virtual machines, in which unmodified operating systems designed for HP Integrity servers can run. Integrity VM provides a VM Host, which manages the physical machine and allocates system resources, such as memory, CPU time, and I/O devices to virtual machines. The VM Host is the HP-UX operating system installed on the physical machine and running the Integrity Virtual Machines product. Virtual machines run on the same physical machine as the VM Host and appear to be ordinary HP-UX processes. Each virtual machine emulates a real Integrity machine, including firmware. A virtual machine is sometimes referred to as a guest. The operating system running in a virtual machine is referred to as the guest operating system, or guest OS.

Following are the Integrity VM commands:

  • hpvmclone: Creates a cloned copy of a virtual machine. Runs on the VM Host.

  • hpvmcollect: Collects crash dumps, logs, system status, and configuration on host and guest. Runs on the VM Host and on guests.

  • hpvmconsole: Connects to the console of a virtual machine. Runs on the VM Host.

  • hpvmcreate: Creates a new virtual machine. Runs on the VM Host.

  • hpvmdevmgmt: Manages the device database. Runs on the VM Host.

  • hpvmdevtranslate: Translates Integrity VM guests to agile devices.

  • hpvmhostrdev: Manages virtual machine access to devices used by the Integrity VM Host system.

  • hpvminfo: Displays information about the Integrity VM environment. Runs on the VM Host and on guests.

  • hpvmmgmt: Manages the guest memory allocation. Runs on guests only.

  • hpvmmigrate: Moves a virtual machine from one VM Host to another. Runs on the VM Host.

  • hpvmmodify: Renames or modifies the attributes of a virtual machine. Runs on the VM Host.

  • hpvmnet: Configures virtual network devices. Runs on the VM Host.

  • hpvmremove: Removes a virtual machine. Runs on the VM Host.

  • hpvmsar: Displays performance information about one or several guests on the same host.

  • hpvmstart: Starts a virtual machine. Runs on the VM Host.

  • hpvmstatus: Displays status of one or more virtual machines. Runs on the VM Host.

  • hpvmstop: Stops a virtual machine. Runs on the VM Host.

  • hpvmupgrade: Assists an Integrity VM upgrade.

  • p2vassist: Moves a system workload from a discreet server to a virtual machine. Runs on the VM Host.

All commands except hpvmconsole require superuser privileges.

To use Integrity VM commands on the guest, install the guests management software as described in HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration.
