VM migration

[Michele Tomassi]

Hi everybody,
I have the following question about HP Integrity Virtual Machine software.
- Is it possible to execute hpvmmigrate command for a HP guest running on an Integrity Server rx1620 (hence a server that does not support hardware partitioning) in order to migrate it to an Integrity Server rx7620 where there are, for instances, 2 hardware partitions configured and running (nPars)? I read technical documentation, but it refers to servers' simmetrycal configuration and it is not clear how it means
Thanks in advance for any your answers.

Hi Michele,

The short answer is yes. The 'symmetry' requirements are with regard to
- storage - the VM's storage must be on a SAN, so both Integrity Servers must be connected to the same SAN
- available memory - both Integrity Servers must have sufficient memory for the VM
- sufficient physical CPUs - The physical CPU count on both Integrity Servers must be greater than or equal to the number of virtual CPUs for the VM
- network connectivity - Virtual switches must exist on both Integrity Servers and they need to be connected to the same subnet.

I think that covers most of they symmetric requirements.
