[HPVM] Not on an HPVM guest or host

[Dbourcier]

Hello,

I have install HPUX 11.31 with VSE and HPVM but I'm getting the following error when I check :

chronos:(/)(root)#hpvminfo
hpvminfo: Not on an HPVM guest or host.
chronos:(/)(root)#

As attachment, find the output of swlist and machinfo.

As far as I can see all the needed bundles are installed :

HPUX11i-VSE-OE
T2767BC
T2786AC
VMGuestLib
VMKernelSW
VSEMgmt
ProviderDefault

HP-SIM-UX bundle was installed, I removed it, but it still the same.

Thanks in advance for your help

Bonjour,

First thing that as is not related to your post : you miss "VMMGR" product. With VMMGR you can manage and administer HPVM from SMH. You will find it at http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=VMMGR

Second thing that might be related to your post, but I am not sure : you are not supposed to have a VSE CMS environnement on a VM Host. So I would remove "VSEMgmt" and "VseAssist". That's what I do on a 11.31 VM Host. More exactly I don't install them ;-)

Could you check /etc/rc.log for any error about HPVM startup, track any reference to "hpvmdvr", "hpvmntdvr" and "hpvmmonlogd" in syslog, and check that all software is correctly configured with (following command should return nothing) :

swlist -l fileset -a state | grep -Ev "#|configured" | pg

Hello Eric,

Thanks for your answer.

I removed the unneeded packages and install VMMGR but it was still failling. By trying to start manually the daemon, I get the following error :

chronos:(/opt)(root)#/sbin/init.d/hpvm start
ERROR: Integrity VM software cannot be started when hyperthreading is enabled
(getconf SC_HT_ENABLED). Use /usr/sbin/setboot -m off and reboot to enable
this system as an Integrity VM host.

So as stated by the error message, I disabled the hyperthreading, then I was able to use it :

chronos:(/)(root)#hpvminfo
hpvminfo: Running on an HPVM host.


Thanks for your help !
