power on vm

[Felix Tabares]

good afternoon

I want to start a virtual machine and I need the steps, I have a rx8640

Thanks in advance.

I will have to presume they already exist, so first type from the VM Host

hpvmstatus

To start:
hpvmstart -p or
hpvmstart -P

To stop:
hpvmstop -p or
hpvmstop -P

To create a VM you need to download/read the manual.

Rgrds,
Rita

>>> I want to start a virtual machine and I need the steps,

If you have already installed Integrity VM then you can start using following command on Host:
# /sbin/init.d/hpvm start

You can execute following command after this:
# hpvmstatus

Have you already installed Integrity VM and configured guest, then you can use hpvmstart command to start the guest.

For more information, have a look at the "HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2: Installation, Configuration, and Administration Manual":

Hello,

hope you have already installed the Integrity VM SW on your host.check it with 'hpvminfo'.

# hpvminfo
hpvminfo: Running on a HPVM host

Before creating VMs you have to create virtual switches for networking among the VMs.these are the virtualized NICs for the VM. you can check the current setup by 'hpvmnet'

creating a virtual switch,
--------------
# hpvmnet -c -S -n 0
( created on Hosts Lan0)
start the virtual switch by,
# hpvmnet -b -S

Creating VM
-----------
steps: Create a virtual machine (VM)
Add virtual lan
Add virtual hard drive
Add virtual DVD (optional)
#hpvmcreate -P -e

e.g. hpvmcreate -P vm1 -e 25
#hpvmstatus -P vm1 (checking the status)

adding the virtual switch to the VM
------------------------------
#hpvmmodify â P â a network:lan::vswitch:

adding a virtual storage to the VM
------------------------------
hpvmmodify -P

-a dvd:scsi::disk:/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 (Virtual DVD mapped to physical DVD)
-a dvd:scsi::file:/path/name.iso (Virtual DVD mapped to file)
-a disk:scsi::file:/hpvm/storage/VHDA(Virtual disk mapped to file)
-a disk:scsi::disk:/dev/LUN_path(Virtual disk mapped to physical disk, LUN)

All backing storage needs to exist before VM start.

Create a flat file to be used as a virtual hard disk:
---------------------
# hpvmdevmgmt â S 14G /hpvm_storage/vhdA

Add a virtual hard disk:
# hpvmmodify â P â a disk:scsi::file:/hpvm_storage/vhdA

now you can start the VM by 'hpvmstart' or 'hpvmconsole' command.

e.g. # hpvmstart -P
if you are using 'hpvmconsole' you will get the virtual MP console of the vm. you can start the VM from there.

now you can install the OS in the VM using an Ignite box or by using the virtual DVD mapped with a physical one.
