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

www.hp.com/go/hpux-hpvm-docs

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

www.hp.com/go/hpux-hpvm-docs

.

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.
