You need VSE...

In particular, Integrity Virtual Machines:

-Install latest hpux 11iv2 ( post 2005 version )
-Build server
-Install latest patch bundle
-Install IVM ( VSE includes a bunch of management stuff and will require, SIM, WBEM etc, I skipped VSE as it was not worth the work)

-Start creating virtual guests

well should i configure VM through GUI interface? if yes how as I have install HPVM and need to assign vdevice and vNIC but i need to assign it by GUI...?

Should it be possible...?

Waiting for your prompt responce

well you can do all of the work using the CLI, but if you really want the GUI you need to download the Virtual Machines Manager (VMMGR).

The command line is not that hard and someday the GUI may not work.

here are some base commands
hpvmstatus
hpvmcreate
hpvmremove
hpvmmodify
hpvmstart
hpvmstop
hpvmnet
hpvmdevmgmt
hpvmconsole -P


A basic create line would be the following ( need CPUs, memory, and disk)

hpvmcreate -P vguest1 -c 1 -r 4G -a disk:scsi::disk:/dev/rdsk/cxtxdx

hpvmstart -P vguest1

( you will need to read all the documents and/or white papers as there is choices that need to be made on backing store type and such ).
