HP BA322 90087 - Manual (Page 51)

1. Obtain installation materials and necessary site-specific information
2. Guest operating system's networking information, such as:
•
Host name for each guest
• IP Address for each guest (if fixed)
• Subnet Mask
• IP address of one or more DNS servers and the gateway machine
• DECnet address for each guest
3. Guest operating system's time-zone
4. Guest operating system's “system” password
5. Identify the installation DVD drive location by executing this command on the VM Host:
# ioscan -NfunC disk
…
disk 7 64000/0xfa00/0x4 esdisk CLAIMED DEVICE Optiarc DVD RW AD-5590A
/dev/disk/disk7 /dev/rdisk/disk7
Additionally, you can use the DVD to create an ISO file by copying the disk to the file system
using an utility such as dd. Mount the disk onto the VM Host file system and execute the
dd command to create an ISO file:
# mount /dev/disk/disk237 /fdev/frackA/
# dd if=/dev/rdisk/disk7 of=/fdev/frackA/OpenVMS.iso bs=64k
6. To create and start the virtual switch (vswitch), use the hpvmnet command. A physical LAN
device has to be selected that acts as a virtual switch. To view all running LAN interfaces,
use the nwmgr command:
# nwmgr
Name/ Interface Station Sub- Interface Related
ClassInstance State Address system Type Interface
============== ========= ============== ======== ============== =========
lan0 UP 0x0017A4771010 igelan 1000Base-SX
lan1 DOWN 0x0017A4771012 igelan 1000Base-SX
lan900 DOWN 0x000000000000 hp_apa hp_apa
lan901 DOWN 0x000000000000 hp_apa hp_apa
lan902 DOWN 0x000000000000 hp_apa hp_apa
lan903 DOWN 0x000000000000 hp_apa hp_apa
lan904 DOWN 0x000000000000 hp_apa hp_apa
In this example lan0 interface “UP” status indicates the LAN interface is running.
To create the virtual switch, use the following command:
# hpvmnet -c -S myswitch -n 0
In this example the virtual switch name is myswitch and it uses the lan0 interface.
To start the virtual switch, use the following command:
# hpvmnet -b -S myswitch
7. To create a file to act as OpenVMS system disk, use the hpvmdevmgmt command:
# hpvmdevmgmt -S 4G /fdev/frackA/disk1
8. To create a virtual machine on the VM Host, use the following commands:
# hpvmcreate -P vmsg1 -O OpenVMS -c 2 -r 2g
# hpvmmodify -P vmsg1 -a network:avio_lan::vswitch:myswitch
# hpvmmodify -P vmsg1 -a disk:avio_stor::file:/fdev/frackA/disk1
For DVD, run this command:
# hpvmmodify -P vmsg1 -a dvd:avio_stor::disk:/dev/rdisk/disk7
For ISO file, run this command:
# hpvmmodify -P vmsg1 -a dvd:avio_stor::file:/fdev/frackA/OpenVMS.iso
In this example, the virtual machine name (guest name) is vmsg1 of operating system type
OpenVMS comprising of the following:
