1.Convert a Physical machine to Virtual machine
2.Convert a Virtual machine to Virtual machine
3.Convert a Physical Machine to a Physical machine

Again my question is how... I have the following handy but I still do not have a clue as how to go on..
Should I take a make_recovery on a tape(what is the best way) or make_sys_image... Plz do explain if anyone has already done so.. or may be a snapshot.. would help me out..

SolutionTighten up your focus.
There is the following categories.
vpar to physical machine
hpvm to physical machine
physical machine to vpar
physical machine to hpvm
Two different virtualization technologies, don't ask me which is better.

It is not as bad as it sounds.
With few issues you can do it with make_tape_recovery but you need a tape drive.
You can do it with make_net_recovery, storing your images on an Ignite server.
You can do it with golden images which can also be managed with an Ignite server.
The core technology is called Ignite, but I believe any of these methods will work for some of the examples above.

Re: Virtual Machine Conversition
The blade CAN run hpvm if I am not mistaken.
So the hpvm migration document should work.

Re: Virtual Machine Conversition
As u said Blades only support HPVM's and not vpars... well said
http://docs.hp.com/en/14298/CloningAndReplicatingIntegrityVMs.pdf
The above talks about HP-UX 11i Virtual Systems into Physical/Virtual...
>>>>I have to make a 11i Physical System into virtual....
>>>Also I have environment where I have to make a physical 11iv2 into virtual 11iv2....
Could you please start my Ignition on the above two >>> please.. so that I can go on further..
Also if you think it is ok... may be a bit on the command line....

Re: Virtual Machine Conversition
You cannot. HPVM supports hp-ux 11.23 and 11.31, no earlier versions.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: Virtual Machine Conversition
Iworked with vPars Virtual Machines since the "free" version - virtual to physical and v.v is seamless and is essentially just a matter of booting procedures.
For example if your vPartionable server has 4 vPars on it, you can boot any one vpar as a physical server by simply booting its boot path and bypassing loading the VPMON ("hypervisor").
For Blades -- I bleieve vPars software is not supported -- only HPVM - which means you need to have 11.23 or 11.31 running as your virtualizer OS. I assume if it is HP-UX VM -- that it will just be probably similr to booting direct the boot path to your OS if yuo want to boot non-HPVM. I don;t have any experience with HPVM/IPVM though -- only vPars.

AMD Athlon II X6 1090T 6-core, 16GB RAM, 12TB ZFS RAIDZ-2 Storage. Linux Centos 5.6 running KVM Hypervisor. Virtual Machines: Ubuntu, Mint, Solaris 10, Windows 7 Professional, Windows XP Pro, Windows Server 2008R2, DOS 6.22, OpenFiler
