HPVM cookbook
1. Check configuration
# # # # # print_manifest lvlnboot -v lanscan swapinfo kctune
2. Prerequisits Disable multithreading
# /usr/sbin/setboot -m off # reboot
Check the device management
# hpvmdevmgmt -l all # hpvmdevmgmt -d rdev:/dev/vx/rdsk/rootdg/vm1vol # hpvmdevmgmt -l rdev
3. Start hpvm manually
# /sbin/init.d/hpvm start
4. Create a virtual switch
# hpvmnet -c -S vswlan1 -n 1 # hpvmnet -b -S vswlan1
5. Create the hpvm
# hpvmcreate -P -O -a -e -E -r -c (name)\ (ostype)\ (resource/device)\ (CPU entitlement in %)\ (CPU entitlement in clock cycles)\ (memory allocation in MB or GB; default: 2GB)\ (#cpus; default: 1)
Example:
# vpvmcreate -P vm1 -e 20 -r 3G
6. Check the status
# hpvmstatus
7. Add a viratual device
# hpvmmodify -P (vmname) -a device_type:adapter_type:args:device_type:name [ virtual (guest view) | physical (host device) ]
Example:
# hpvmmodify -P vm1 -a disk:scsi::lv:/dev/vg01/rvol1 ^ could be hw path # hpvmmodify -P vm1 -a network:lan::vswitch:vswlan1 ^ could be bus.device.mac_address ex.: ,,aa-aa-aa-10-01-92
8. Display network device (with guest mac address)
# hpvmstatus -VP vm1 ... Mac Address
: aa-aa-aa-10-01-92
9. Add virtual storage
# hpvmdevmgmt -S 10G /vmdisks/vm1_1 # hpvmmodify -P vm1 -a disk:scsi::file:/vmdisks/vm1_1
10. Add a virtual disk
# lvcreate -L 4000 -n vm2vol /dev/vgvmdisks # hpvmmodify -P vm1 -a disk:scsi::lv:/dev/vgvmdisks/rvm2vol
11. Start the virtual machine
# hpvmstart -P vm1 [-s] (-s: sanity check first) --> vMP> pc -on
12. Goto the console of the vm1
# hpvmconsole -P vm1 [-c 'command']
13. Provide access to Vm console
# useradd -s /opt/hpvm/bin/hpvmconsole \ -r no -d /var/opt/hpvm/guests/vm1 vm1oper # passwd vm1oper # hpvmmodify -P vm1 -u vm1oper:oper # hpvmmodify -P vm1 -u vm1admins:admin
14. Network installation
Shell> lanboot select
15. Set Start_Attr of the VM to auto to start the VM automatically on a server reboot
# hpvmmodify -P RHEL -B auto
Install a HPVM
1. Get information about the created HPVMs
# hpvmstatus -V [P vm1] | pg
2.
# cd /var/opt/hpvm # cd guests # ls -l # ... vm1 -> /var/opt/hpvm... # cd vm1 # pg vmm_config.current # pg log # cd console # pg ocnslog # cd ../..hpvmnet # cd vswlan1 # pg hpvmnet_config name = vswlan1 nic = 1 # cd ../common # pg command.log (history of hpvm commands) # cd ../ISO-images (iso images of the os i'd like to install) # cd /opt/hpvm # cd bin (hpvm commands)
3. View the prozesses of hpvm
# ps -ef | grep vm ... hpvmnetd hpvmmonlogd vm_fssagt -n 5 (faire share scheduler agent: DO NOT KILL!) hpvmapp -d vm1 (PID for vm1) hpvmapp -d vm2 (PID for vm2) ...
4. Get information about the vm from the OS on the vm itself
# hpvmconsole -P vm1 MP> CO # ioscan # lanscan # ifconfig lan3
5. Managing virtual dvd devices
# hpvmmodify -P vm1 ... -a dvd:scsi::disk:/dev/rdisk/disk# -a dvd:scsi::file:/vmiso/image1.iso -m dvd:scsi::file:/vmiso/image2.iso vMP> insert vMP> eject
6. Install the vm from LAN
# hpvmconsole -P vm2 Shell> lanboot select Select Desired LAN: 01
7. Install the vm from dvd.iso
# hpvmmodify -P vm2 -a dvd:scsi::file:/var/DVD/B.11.23.iso # hpvmconsole -P vm2 Shell> mar -r Shell> fs0: fs:\> install
8. AVIO disk device creation
# hpvmmodify -P vm2 \ -a disk:avio_stor::disk:/dev/rdisk/disk#
9. AVIO network device creation
# hpvmmodify -P vm2 \ -a disk:avio_lan::vswitch:vswB
10. Allow guest to extend its memory dynamically
# hpvmmodify -P vm1 -r 6G \ -x dynamic_memory_control=1 \ -x ram_dyn_min=1222M \ -x ram_dyn_max=6G \ -x ram_dyn_target_start=2G \ -x ram_dyn_type={any|driver} # hpvmmgmt -l ram -V # hpvmmgmt -x ram_target={0|amaount|start} (0: vm sets the value so that it does not need to page)
Set a volume as a shared volume between multiple hpvms
1. Add the disk to one of the hpvms
# hpvmmodify -P vm1 -a disk:scsi::lv:/dev/vg00/rlvlock
2. Review the current state of the device
# hpvmdevmgmt -l all
3. Set the SHARE attribute to YES
# hpvmdevmgmt -m gdev:/dev/vg00/rlvlock:attr:SHARE=YES
Migrate a HPVM
Prerequisits
On the source host and the target host HPVM >= 4.1 must be installed Both servers must have access to the OS disk (as shown in the picture above) On both hosts execute the secsetup tool
# secsetup <otherhostname>
Migrate it
1. Prepare the hpvm on the target site along the prerequisits 2. Migrate the vm
# hpvmmigrate -o -P <hpvmName> -h <targetHostName>
