HPVM Requirements on Host 50MB free space in /opt Swap: phisical memory size + 4GB 4.7 MB for each guest CPU number of and amount hpvmcreate ... -e percent:max_persent
Example: # hpvmmodify -P vm1 -a disk:scsi::lv:/dev/vg01/rvol1 ^ could be hw path # hpvmmodify -P vm1 -a network:lan::vswitch:vswlan1 ^ could be bus.device.mac_address ex.: ,,aa-aa-aa-10-01-92
8. Display network device (with guest mac address)
15. Set Start_Attr of the VM to auto to start the VM automatically on a server reboot # hpvmmodify -P RHEL -B auto
Install a HPVM 1. Get information about the created HPVMs # hpvmstatus -V [P vm1] | pg
2.
# cd /var/opt/hpvm # cd guests # ls -l # ... vm1 -> /var/opt/hpvm... # cd vm1 # pg vmm_config.current # pg log # cd console # pg ocnslog # cd ../..hpvmnet # cd vswlan1 # pg hpvmnet_config name = vswlan1 nic = 1 # cd ../common # pg command.log (history of hpvm commands) # cd ../ISO-images (iso images of the os i'd like to install) # cd /opt/hpvm # cd bin (hpvm commands)
3. View the prozesses of hpvm
# ps -ef | grep vm ... hpvmnetd hpvmmonlogd vm_fssagt -n 5 (faire share scheduler agent: DO NOT KILL!) hpvmapp -d vm1 (PID for vm1) hpvmapp -d vm2 (PID for vm2) ...
4. Get information about the vm from the OS on the vm itself
# hpvmmodify -P vm2 -a dvd:scsi::file:/var/DVD/B.11.23.iso # hpvmconsole -P vm2 Shell> mar -r Shell> fs0: fs:\> install
8. AVIO disk device creation
# hpvmmodify -P vm2 \ -a disk:avio_stor::disk:/dev/rdisk/disk#
9. AVIO network device creation
# hpvmmodify -P vm2 \ -a disk:avio_lan::vswitch:vswB
10. Allow guest to extend its memory dynamically
# hpvmmodify -P vm1 -r 6G \ -x dynamic_memory_control=1 \ -x ram_dyn_min=1222M \ -x ram_dyn_max=6G \ -x ram_dyn_target_start=2G \ -x ram_dyn_type={any|driver} # hpvmmgmt -l ram -V # hpvmmgmt -x ram_target={0|amaount|start} (0: vm sets the value so that it does not need to page)
Set a volume as a shared volume between multiple hpvms
1. Add the disk to one of the hpvms # hpvmmodify -P vm1 -a disk:scsi::lv:/dev/vg00/rlvlock
Prerequisits On the source host and the target host HPVM >= 4.1 must be installed Both servers must have access to the OS disk (as shown in the picture above) On both hosts execute the secsetup tool # secsetup <otherhostname>
Migrate it 1. Prepare the hpvm on the target site along the prerequisits 2. Migrate the vm # hpvmmigrate -o -P <hpvmName> -h <targetHostName>
