Integrity VM creation

[A.Vishwanath_2]

We have recently procured a new server (RX8640) which is partitioned in to two nPar's.
Each n'Par has "2*Montecito" @1600Mhz CPU's and 128GB of RAM.
We have installed with Sep'2006 HP-UX11i (11.23) release and Integrity VM version 1.20.
As per the HP Integrity VM document we have taken care of all the pre-requisites. We created first VM with default resource assignment i.e
1 vCPU
1GB RAM
10% Entitlement.

When we tried to start the VM we have encounterd with below error.

Hello Vishwanath,

>Invalid entitlement_min 10.0 = 10 min = 12 max = 100

According to "HP Integrity Virtual Machines Release Notes":

Changing locales can cause invalid entitlement errors
This version of Integrity VM does not have localization support. If you use the Integrity VM commands to set
the guest entitlement value in the C locale, and then change your locale setting to the French locale, commands
such as hpvmstatus and hpvmstart do not recognize the guest entitlement value set from the C locale.
This is because the French locale only recognizes the entitlement value with a comma digit separator (for
example, 10,0). The C locale entitlement value format uses a period digit separator (for example, 10.0).
This problem can also occur if you set the entitlement value in the French locale and then change to the C
locale. For example, in the French locale, the hpvmstatus command displays a warning message indicating
that the entitlement value that was set in the C locale is invalid:
hpvmstatus: WARNING (guest1): Invalid entitlement_min value 10.0
Correct the entitlement value format to conform to the current locale by entering the following command:
# hpvmmodify -P guest1 -F

Hi,

I am not able to start the VM with 10% CPU entitlement but i am able to start the VM with 12% or above CPU entitlement. Also, my locale is set to "C". We could find below information in the "hpvm" command.log file.

########## command.log###########

Also locale is set as below.
