Virtual machine

Grayh — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 17:35:39 GMT

I have to install VM in all of the 7 servers and then create guests..

Is there a way like ignite-ux.. where I can Install it on all the machines at once.

You can install them the same way via ignite-ux like you did with the physical servers.

Go to the vMP (!) and proceed ...

wow... so it's like...

The first server should have VMware installed on it and then I have to create a depot of the DVD.

and then on all the other servers from the Shell>dbprofile -dn igniteprof -sip 10.4.93.18 -cip 10.3.93.10 -gip 10.3.93.1 -m 255.255.255.0 -b "/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi"

Am I correct

I have one more doubt...

While creating the depot for 11.23...

Should I need to create for both the cd's 1 & 2 ... or is it just the 1st cd

You can use your already existing ignite server, if the HPVMs have a virtual switch assigned and are able to contact this server.

Just go to the vMP:

# hpvmconsole -p

and install.

Note: this is NOT vmware ... but HP Integrity Virtual Machines (HPVM).

I do it with the below command

/opt/ignite/bin/make_depots -s /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 -d /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/core

and I get the error

HPVM guest VM1 configuration problems:
Warning 1: There is insufficient free host memory for this guest.
These problems may prevent HPVM guest VM1 from starting.
hpvmmodify: The modification process is continuing.

What has to be done..

I am trying to create a guest with 25G space

Also How many guests can i create on a bl860c

Re: Virtual machine

Torsten. — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:10:28 GMT

Also How many guests can i create on a bl860c

This depends on the available amount of memory.

Use

# hpvmstatus -s

to find out.

-r is MEMORY - RAM

I strongly recommend to RTFM!!!

Re: Virtual machine

Grayh — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:17:16 GMT

Is it neccessary to create the ones below as well

As I am doing this for the first time.. I am not really sure which all to include in a normal operating Environment

Virtual network interface cards (vNICs)
â ¢ Virtual switches (vswitches)

RTFM means... I do not have an idea

Re: Virtual machine

Torsten. — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 17:19:09 GMT

read the *funny* manual ...

You cannot do this without reading it!

Looking at most of your threads, it is apparent you do not seem willing, or able, to actually go and read any manuals or man pages.
It would help your learning curve a lot if you actually did bother to read manuals and man pages

well...he's installed 1001 servers (or so its been claimed)

the general tenor of the postings seem to indicate that the CV may have been embellished, or the servers in question were windows boxen....as this is stuff that should have been run into before....
