    The document discusses commands for managing HP-UX virtual machines including creating, starting, stopping, checking status of VMs as well as modifying and removing VMs.

    To start a VM, use the hpvmstart command and to stop use hpvmstop or shutdown commands. Forced shutdown is not recommended.

    You can check the status of VMs using hpvmstatus and resources using hpvmstatus -s. hpvmstatus -D shows deferred memory assignments.

    HP VM Cheat Sheet

    1) How to Start HP VM?

    On a host
    a)

    # vi /etc/rc.config.d/hpvmconf
    # Set to 1 (0) to enable (disable) Integrity VM at boot time.
    HPVM_ENABLE=1
    # /sbin/init.d/hpvm start

    Note: When host is rebooted it will start all the guest


    by default
    b) Starting HPVM on the guest

    # hpvmstart P guestname

    2) How to Stop HP VM?

    # shutdown hy 0 (gracefully shutdown, from guest OS)


    # hpvmstop -P guestname ( forced shutdown from
    host not recommended)

    3) How to identify Identify Host or Guest using hpvminfo command?

    Examples: Using hpviminfo on a host


    hpvminfo (-v, -V)(on host)
    # hpvminfo
    hpvminfo: Running on an HPVM host.
    # hpvminfo -v
    Version B.04.10.00
    hpvminfo: Running on an HPVM host.
    #hpvminfo -V
    hpvminfo: Running on an HPVM host.
    # model
    ia64 hp server XXXX

    Example: Using hpviminfo on a Guest


    # model
    ia64 hp server Integrity Virtual Machine
    # hpvminfo (On guest OS)
    hpvminfo: Running inside an HPVM guest.

    # hpvminfo -v
    Version B.04.10.0
    hpvminfo: Running inside an HPVM guest.
    #hpvminfo -V
    hpvminfo: Running inside an HPVM guest.
    configured guest name: guest_hostname
    Host chassis information
    Host model string : ia64 hp server xxxxx
    Host serial number :xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Host partition ident : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Host machine ident : bxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Host physical serial number :xxxxxxxxxxx
    Host physical ident : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Host Inet information
    Hostname : hostname.x.x.x
    Number of host IPv6 Addresses : 0
    Number of host IPv4 Addresses : 2
    IP Address : X.X.X.X
    IP Address : X.X.X.X
    Host SCSI information
    Timeout : 4000

    # hpvmconsole P guestname
    vMP MAIN MENU
    CO: Console
    CM: Command Menu
    CL: Console Log
    SL: Show Event Logs
    VM: Virtual Machine Menu
    HE: Main Help Menu
    X: Exit Connection
    [XXXXX] vMP> co

    5) How to check status of VM's?

    # hpvmstatus

    6) How to create a VM?

    # hpvmcreate -P (name)\
    -O (ostype)\
    -a (resource/device)\
    -e (CPU entitlement in %)\
    -E (CPU entitlement in clock cycles)\
    -r (memory allocation in MB or GB; default: 2GB)\
    -c (#cpus; default: 1)
    7) How to check the device management
    # hpvmdevmgmt -l all (List all entries)
    # hpvmdevmgmt -d rdev:/dev/vx/rdsk/rootdg/test1vol ( to delete Restricted
    device)
    # hpvmdevmgmt -l rdev (to check restricted devices)

    8) How to add memory to an HPVM guest?

    Procedures to add memory to an HPVM guest:


    a. Display and note status of guests (on host)
    # hpvmstatus
    b. Display and note current available resources (on host)
    # hpvmstatus -s
    c. Change memory of guest (use below command on host)
    # hpvmmodify -P <guest_name> -r <total_amout_of_memory_in_GB>

    Example: hpvmmodify -P guesthostname -r 10G

    Note: The command above will go in as deferred (pending).


    d. Display deferred memory assignment (on host)
    # hpvmstatus -D -P <guest_name>
    e. Reboot system (on guest)
    # shutdown -ry 0
    f. Display and note status of guests to verify change (on host)
    # hpvmstatus
    g. Display and note remaining resources to verify change (on host)
    #hpvmstatus -s
