Virtual machine

[Grayh]

I have to install VM in all of the 7 servers and then create guests..

Is there a way like ignite-ux.. where I can Install it on all the machines at once.

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

You can install them the same way via ignite-ux like you did with the physical servers.

Go to the vMP (!) and proceed ...

[Grayh]

wow... so it's like...

The first server should have VMware installed on it and then I have to create a depot of the DVD.

and then on all the other servers from the Shell>dbprofile -dn igniteprof -sip 10.4.93.18 -cip 10.3.93.10 -gip 10.3.93.1 -m 255.255.255.0 -b "/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi"

Am I correct

[Grayh]

I have one more doubt...

While creating the depot for 11.23...

Should I need to create for both the cd's 1 & 2 ... or is it just the 1st cd

[Torsten.]

You can use your already existing ignite server, if the HPVMs have a virtual switch assigned and are able to contact this server.

Just go to the vMP:

# hpvmconsole -p

and install.

Note: this is NOT vmware ... but HP Integrity Virtual Machines (HPVM).

Hi Torsten..

When I am trying to copy the 2nd cd of 11.23 i get error

I do it with the below command

/opt/ignite/bin/make_depots -s /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 -d /var/opt/ignite/depots/Rel_B.11.23/core

and I get the error

ERROR: cannot mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 as CDFS, errno = 5

Is there anything wrong I have done..

What is a virtual switch..

I just have the HP Integrity VM Media Kit with 1 dvd in it..So If I need to Install this on all of the servers what are the steps I should follow..
OS version:11.23

After installing this s/w I will create VM Guests...

>>"What is a virtual switch.. "


This time you really **MUST READ** the manual in order to understand how things work and how to do ...

Hy,

I use DRD to clone HPVMachines, i first restore one using ignite, and then i clone them with drd, here is a quick how-to, that can help you out:

http://www.hpuxtips.es/?q=node/146

[Grayh]

# hpvmmodify -P VM1 -r 25G
HPVM guest VM1 configuration problems:
Warning 1: There is insufficient free host memory for this guest.
These problems may prevent HPVM guest VM1 from starting.
hpvmmodify: The modification process is continuing.

What has to be done..

I am trying to create a guest with 25G space

Also How many guests can i create on a bl860c

[Torsten.]

Also How many guests can i create on a bl860c

This depends on the available amount of memory.


Use

# hpvmstatus -s

to find out.

[Grayh]

# hpvmstatus -s
[HPVM Server System Resources]

Processor speed = 1416 Mhz
Total physical memory = 4065 Mbytes
Total number of processors = 4
Available memory = 3009 Mbytes
Available swap space = 7811 Mbytes
Maximum vcpus for an HP-UX virtual machine = 4
Maximum vcpus for a Windows virtual machine = 4
Maximum vcpus for a Linux virtual machine = 4
Available entitlement for a 1 way virtual machine = 1416 Mhz
Available entitlement for a 2 way virtual machine = 1416 Mhz
Available entitlement for a 3 way virtual machine = 1416 Mhz
Available entitlement for a 4 way virtual machine = 1416 Mhz

[Torsten.]

-r is MEMORY - RAM



I strongly recommend to RTFM!!!

[Grayh]

Is it neccessary to create the ones below as well

As I am doing this for the first time.. I am not really sure which all to include in a normal operating Environment

Virtual network interface cards (vNICs)
â ¢ Virtual switches (vswitches)


RTFM means... I do not have an idea

[Torsten.]

read the *funny* manual ...


You cannot do this without reading it!

[melvyn burnard]

Looking at most of your threads, it is apparent you do not seem willing, or able, to actually go and read any manuals or man pages.
It would help your learning curve a lot if you actually did bother to read manuals and man pages

[OldSchool]

well...he's installed 1001 servers (or so its been claimed)

the general tenor of the postings seem to indicate that the CV may have been embellished, or the servers in question were windows boxen....as this is stuff that should have been run into before....

[Grayh]

# hpvmnet
Name Number State Mode PPA MAC Address IP Address
======== ====== ======= ========= ====== ============== ===============
localnet 21 Up Shared N/A N/A
vmlan0 22 Up Shared lan0 0x00306ea72c0d 15.13.114.205
vmlan4 23 Up Shared lan4 0x00127942fce3 192.1.2.205
vmlan900 24 Up Shared lan900 0x00306e39815a 192.1.4.205

In the above example... What are the mac & IP address... I meant are they the Server's Mac/Ip or what..

How can I obtain thaose MAC's/IP's..what is the command to find them...

[Grayh]

I have read this from the manual...

# hpvmcreate -P vm-name -a network:adapter-type:[hardware-address]:vswitch:vswitch-name
where hardware-address (optional) is the vNIC PCI bus number, device, and MAC address.
If you omit the hardware address, it is generated for you. HP recommends that you allow this information to be automatically generated. In this case, omit the hardware-address value from the command line, but retain the colon character separator. For example:
# hpvmcreate -P vm-name -a network:adapter-type:vswitch:vswitch-name
The adapter-type can be either lan or avio_lan.

lan or avio_lan ---->where can I get that

[Torsten.]

lan or avio_lan ---->where can I get that


This is totally up to - whatever you want and need.

Start with lan to understand how it works ...

thank you
