•
Configure the Integrity VM Host with Serviceguard (11.19 or 11.20) and Shared Logical
Volume Manager (SLVM). (An imported VM with a whole LUN is not required to be in a
Serviceguard Package.)
See HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM Administrator Guide at
for more information.
•
Create the appropriate size SLVM volume group (VG) for the device management database
using LVM Version 2.1 or higher. For example:
# vgcreate -V 2.1 -s 4m -S 100g /dev/slvm_v21 /dev/disk/disk61
For information about creating SLVM groups, see HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM version 6.2
Administrator Guide at
•
Add the SLVM volume group into the device database using the hpvmdevmgmt command.
Set the new attribute to the hpvmdevmgmt command, VIRTPTYPE, with the PRESERVE=YES
attribute setting, to container_volume_SLVM for each of the SLVM groups added to the
device management database. For example:
# hpvmdevmgmt -a gdev:/dev/slvm_v22:attr:VIRTPTYPE=container_volume_SLVM,PRESERVE=YES
NOTE:
For a virtual machine created with SLVM Logical Volume, the SLVM volume group
must be part of container_volume_SLVM in order for the virtual machine to be imported
as a logical server.
•
Import operations are supported for Integrity VMs that contain:
Physical (whole) disks on a SAN
◦
◦
Virtual disks in a Shared Logical Volume Manager (SLVM) volume group
•
Storage:
Online move operations are supported for virtual machines that are configured with virtual
disks backed by whole LUNs (from a previous import operation) or by SLVM logical
volumes.
◦
◦
To create an Integrity VM virtual machine logical server, specify Accelerated Virtual I/O
(AVIO) Storage with virtual disk-backed storage only.
◦
Create and add SLVM Volume Groups to the storage pool on the VM Host for the Create
Virtual Disk operation to run successfully.
All virtual disks will be a logical volume created in a Shared Logical Volume (SLVM)
Volume Group.
◦
Local storage is not supported for Integrity VM virtual machines.
