For example, to remove the evaluation version of Integrity VM, enter the following commands: # swremove -x autoreboot=true T2801AA VMProvider VMMigrate # rm -rf /opt/hpvm # rm -rf /opt/hpvmprovider Do not remove the directory /var/opt/hpvm. This directory contains all the virtual machine configurations that were created with the evaluation software. 2.4 Do Not Install Applications on the VM Host System When you install Integrity VM, HP-UX kernel parameters are changed to accommodate the virtual machine environment. This makes the system unsuitable for running any other applications. Regardless of whether guests are configured and running, the VM Host system is not configured to allow applications to share system resources. You can run system management utilities and Serviceguard, as documented in the HP Integrity VM Installation, Configuration, and Administration manual. • Using HP Storage Data Protector for guest backup You can use Data Protector to back up the guest OS image. Install the Data Protector agent on the VM Host, not on the guests. For more information, refer to the HP-UX 11i V2 Installation and Upgrade Guide. • Using HP GlancePlus/iX to monitor guests You can use Glance on the VM Host to monitor guest data, but recorded measurements can be misleading. Glance receives the CPU accounting information from the guest kernel. Because the VM Host can take the processor away (for example, when a hardware interrupt occurs), the time spent running other guests is reported for the state that the guest was in at the time the CPU was taken away. For more information about using Glance, refer to glance(1M). • Using HP Integrity Essentials Global Workload Manager (gWLM) If you use gWLM within VSE to manage virtual machines, when you upgrade the VM Host, make sure the gWLM agent on that host is running gWLM A.02.50 or greater. Also, the managing VSE Central Management Station (CMS) must be running A.02.50 or greater, as described in the VSE Management Software Installation and Update Guide. To upgrade the VM Host, use the following procedure: 1. Remove the gWLM agent using the following command: 22 Installation Notes
