I am triying to use dynamic memory with my guests
but the memory driver doesnt look like its loading on the guests.
Version A.03.50.00
with hpvmstatus I don't get all the info:
[Dynamic Memory Information]
NOTE: Dynamic data unavailable, configured values only
Type : driver
Minimum memory : 512 MB
Target memory : 5120 MB
Maximum memory : 5120 MB
And when I try to reduce memory I get:
/root# hpvmmodify -P vmf -x ram_target=4122
hpvmmodify: ERROR (vmf): Query to dynamic memory driver failed: Function is not available.
hpvmmodify: Failed to set ram_target.
hpvmmodify: Unable to modify the guest.
I have tried using any and driver with the same result.
-x ram_dyn_type={any|driver}
Any idea what module, daemon has to be loaded on the client get this working ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: HPVM problems with dynamic memory
What does this command show:
# hpvmmgmt -V -l ram
Did you run command on VM Host to start it
and enable dynamic memory capability:
# hpvmmgmt -x ram_target=start
# hpvmmodify -P guestXYZ -x ram_dyn_type=any
Cheers,
VK2COT

Re: HPVM problems with dynamic memory
hpvmmgmt: Manages the guest memory allocation. Runs on guests only.
Hope this helps!

Re: HPVM problems with dynamic memory
It's in
/opt/hpvm/guest-images/hpux/11iv2 or 11iv3/hpvm_guest_depot.11iv_x_.sd
on the host and needs to be installed on the guest.
Once installed on the guest the tool will be in
/opt/hpvm/bin
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: HPVM problems with dynamic memory
[Dynamic Memory Information]
NOTE: Dynamic data unavailable, configured values only
Type : driver
Minimum memory : 512 MB
Target memory : 5120 MB
Maximum memory : 5120 MB
On the guest side, I tried loading the module:
vmf:/opt/hpvm/bin# kcmodule hpvmdynmem=loaded
* The automatic 'backup' configuration has been updated.
NOTE: No change to 'hpvmdynmem' was needed.
Module State Cause Notes
hpvmdynmem loaded explicit auto-loadable, unloadable
vmf:/opt/hpvm/bin# ./hpvmmgmt -V -l ram
Dynamic memory driver not found on guest.
hpvmmgmt: Unable to continue.
and checked that the filesets are configured:
# vmGuestLib
vmGuestLib.GUEST-LIB configured
# vmProvider
vmProvider.VM-PROV-CORE configured
# vmTools
vmTools.VMTOOLS-MAN configured
vmTools.VMTOOLS-RUN configured
The hole hpvmstatus output:
hpvmstatus -V -P vmf
