HP vPars and Integrity Virtual Machines V6.1 Administrator Guide

11. Determine the order of installation of layered products, including vPars and Integrity VM V6.1
(BB068AA), so that all dependencies are met. For example, if Veritas is used to provide
backing storage for guests, install it before Integrity VM.
12. Install all 11i v3 compatible layered products that are required for equivalent functionality to
the 11i v2 VSP.
13. Install Integrity VM Version 6.1 to the 11i v3 VSP.
NOTE: See Section 3.3 (page 39) for a list of products that block the Integrity VM installation.
14. Stop Integrity VM using /sbin/init.d/hpvm stop.
15. Using the appropriate recovery tool, restore the 11i v2 /var/opt/hpvm directory over the
existing 11i v3 /var/opt/hpvm directory on the 11i v3 VSP.
16. Start Integrity VM using /sbin/init.d/hpvm start.
17. Run the translator:
# hpvmdevtranslate -a /var/opt/hpvm/common/hpvm_mgmtdb_pre1131
18. Edit the script, /var/opt/hpvm/common/hpvm_dev_convert, taking note of ERROR lines
and commenting out the exit line that prevents the running of the script.
19. Continue with the remaining 11i v3 Integrity VSP configuration until the host is functionally
equivalent to the former 11i v2 Integrity VSP.
If you choose the update path, follow these steps:
1. Create a recovery image.
2. Verify that all current guests that run on 11i v2 can boot and run successfully. Guests that
cannot boot on 11i v2 cannot be expected to boot after the update to 11i v3.
3. After verifying the guests, back up all relevant configuration data for each guest for a potential
return to 11i v2.
4. Install the latest Update-UX bundle from the OE media.
5. Update the OS/OE from the HP-UX 11i v3 OE media using the update-ux command. For
example:
# swinstall -s /dev/dvd Update-Ux
update-ux -s /dev/dvd/HPUX11i-VSE-OE BB068AA
NOTE: There is a new update-ux option, –p, which previews and update task by running
the session through the analysis phase first.
If you are updating from the VSE-OE depot, specify the following:
# swinstall -s my.server.foo.com:/OEdepot/path Update-UX
update-ux -s my.server.foo.com:/OEdepot/path HPUX11i-VSE-OE BB068AA
6. Remove any blocking layered products that might block the Integrity VM installation. See
Section 3.3 (page 39) for a list products.
7. Remove layered products that might cause problems or that require a new 11i v3 compatible
version after the HP-UX 11i v3 update.
8. Determine the order of installation of layered products, including vPars and Integrity VM V6.1
(BB068AA), so that all dependencies are met. For example, if VERITAS is used to provide
backing storage for guests, install it before Integrity VM.
9. Install Integrity VM Version 6.1 to the 11i v3 VSP.
10. Update non-OE applications from the Application media using the swinstall command.
For example, if you plan to install Integrity Virtual Server Manager, switch to the AR disk and
specify the following:
# swinstall -s my.server.foo.com:/Ardepot/path VMMGR
11. Create the recovery image.
