For example, the hpvmstop command displays the following confirmation prompt: # hpvmstop -P guest1 hpvmstop: Stop the virtual machine 'guest1'? [n/y]: hpvmstop: Virtual machine was not stopped. The default action is to not perform the action. 1.7 Guest Management Software Integrity VM provides specific software for each type of guest operating system. This guest management software enhances guest performance, enables Integrity VM commands, and includes providers for virtual management software, such as VM Manager. The locations and contents of the guest management kits are modified in this version of Integrity VM. The guest management software is required on each guest. Guest management software is installed on the guest either remotely, from a software depot, or locally, after being copied to the guest. The guest management software is located in the /opt/hpvm/guest-images directory. Table 1-2 lists the location of the guest management software kit for each type of guest operating system. The instructions for installing the guest management software are provided in README.txt files in these directories. Table 1-2 Guest Management Software Kit Locations Guest Operating System HP-UX 11i v2 HP-UX 11i v3 Linux Windows Guest Management Software Location /opt/hpvm/guest-images/hpux/11iv2 /opt/hpvm/guest-images/hpux/11iv3 /opt/hpvm/guest-images/linux /opt/hpvm/guest-images/windows Installing the guest management software kit causes the guest to reboot. Whenever you upgrade Integrity VM, reinstall the guest kit on all the guests. This ensures that guests run well and continue to be manageable and supportable. Failure to install and upgrade the guest management software on each guest can cause problems that are difficult to diagnose and solve. 16 Introduction
