VMMGR Communication Failure

[Pramod_MKD]

Hi Gurus,

My scenario is, I have a VM Host running on BL870C with HP-UX 11iv3(DCOE-0909) and HPVM 4.10 installed. Also I installed VMMGR A.4.1.1.79028 for the GUI administration.

Then I installed a VMGuest of HPUX 11iv2 (MCOE-0712). also installed VMProvider,VMGuestLib of version 4.10.

Now my problem is when i am connecting through SMH -->Tools-->Integrity Virtualmachine Mgmt-->integrity Virtual Machine Manager

I can see the machine , but their utilization meters are in dimmed state and are not showing any value. There is a comment "No Data" on all feild.

I have done the following actions

1) Created a new OS user and passwd called wbem/wbem123 on both vmhost and vmguest.

2) Set the wbem credential throgh Virtual Machine-->Modify-->wbem credential
added wbem as user and wbem123 as passwd
checked "save user name and password in file system.

But still i cannot access the utlization data

Please see the below o/p for your reference

Dear friend,

Install "Utilprovider" in both VM Host & VM guest to gather utilization statistics fro CPU ,memory,disk & LAN.

UtilProvider--->VSE HP-UX V3 (DVD1) under "providerDefault" Bundle . This component also included with HP-UXV2 December 2005 (or later).

Thanks
Minhaz

2 questions...

(1) Where did you get VMMGR A.4.1.1 for SMH? The Mar 2010 media have A.4.1.0, and software.hp.com has the same version. The release notes are available, however, and they explicitly state that this problem is fixed in this version. See http://forums13.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1434588

(2) Do you have your VM on the network? The WBEM communication between host and guest is network-based, and the fact that the text under the VM name in your screenshot is "(?)" indicates that the VM name is not resolving... You want the "guest_ipaddress" entry in /var/opt/hpvm/guests/VMNAME/vmm_config.current to be accessible from the VM Host. Try troubleshooting WBEM with osinfo(1).

@Greg :

VMMGR software is labeled as 4.1.0 at software.hp.com. In fact, when downloaded, you will see that the version is A.4.1.1.79028
