Integrity VM on 11.31?

[squirrel_2]

Hi,

can I use 11.31 (IPF) as host for HP Integrity VM?
The download page does not offer a package for A.03.50 on 11.31:

Thanks in advance.

A HPVM version for 11.31 is not yet available.

*sigh*
That's what I was afraid of.

So only nPar or vPar is currently possible?

I guess I'll wait then, as Windows Server 2008 is also not supported yet.

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

nPars are hardware related, so this doesn't matter.
As of today you can run 11.31 with vPars (even with mixed OS environments (e.g. 11.23 and 11.31) or 11.23 as a HPVM host with 11.31 guests (or other guest OS).

Thanks.

I like the key benefits of Integrity VMs, so I'll have to wait.
My preferres guest OSs (Windows 2008 and OpenVMS) are also not yet supported, so it doesn't matter. :_)

Ebbi,

Read Torsten response again. Just load 11.23 IA on an nPar for your VM Host and you can then build your VM Clients with 11.31 IA off that!
We took our box created two nPars. We made one nPar 11.31 IA and one 11.23 IA for the VM Host, buiding up VM's on the second nPar.

Why wait..........you got the hardware - Go For It.

Rgrds,
Rita

support for HP-UX 11.31 as a VM Host will be introduced with Update 3 for HP-UX 11.31, due out in September,

Okay, so you recommend:

- 11.23 as host OS
- install Integrity VM 03.50
- create guest VMs with
- 11.31
- Windows
(- OpenVMS)

Is that correct?

[melvyn burnard]

that is correct

Hello,

Just to reinforce the fact. September 2008
release of Integrity VM will support HP-UX
11.31 as host.

In fact, I run VM 4.0 Beta 6 in the labs
now (host is an nPar running HP-UX 11.31
0803):
