HP-UX 11i v3 VSE OE

[Roro_2]

Hi,

We received an integrity server rx2660 with HP-UX 11i v3 VSE preinstalled on system disk
( HPUX11i-VSE-OE ) .
After checking installed bundles , found that
( VSEMgmt, HP SIM, HP Virtual Machines ...)
are not installed.
My question is , can i proceed with virtualization , partitioning , guests, optimization , workloads , SRDs , policies ... without the above products .

Regards

Roger

Sorry, I forgot it is 11.31 - there is still no virtual machines *host* software for 11.31 available.


The interesting part is this:

PHKL_37361

Patch Name: PHKL_37361

Patch Description: 11.31 Pre-Enablement for a future version of HPVM

Hi Roger/Thorsten,

I believe it is available for 11.31 update 2.

I guess there are all the managers, like

HP Virtualization Manager
HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager (VM Manager)

but still not yet the Integrity VM bits.

Bonjour,

You can think in term of "HPVM ready" for HP-UX 11.31 update 2. Though you can only choose vPar option with the new VSE-OE bundle of HP-UX.

But for the moment HPVM, version 3.5, does NOT work on any 11.31 version.

The next version of HPVM, version 4, WILL work on 11.31. It is announced in September 2008.

Regards

Eric

hi Eric,

Or i'm missing your point or I'm failing to understand the HP doc :-) could be because it is friday.

HP Virtual Server Environment Management for Integrity Version 4.0 Release Notes

http://docs.hp.com/en/T8671-90002/ch01s02.html

Support for creating HP-UX 11i v3 and Linux virtual machines, using the Create Virtual Machine wizard. For more information, see the VM Manager online help.

Well ... english is not my native langage and my previous post is probably badly writen. And it is also the friday bug for me :-(. So just called a HP presales consultant to check and he has confirmed that we can NOT install HP Integrity VM on a HP-UX 11.31 box.

The link you point refers to VSE Management. With VSE Management installed on HP-UX 11.31 box, you can manage hosts that have HPVM installed. But in this case the HPVM hosts you manage can not run HP-UX 11.31. I do agree with the fact that you can MANAGE HPVM, but not RUN HPVM on HP-UX 11.31.
