A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Managing HP-UX virtual servers

This section describes how to use the SA web extension to create and manage HP-UX VMs, HP-UX Virtual partitions, and HP Integrity Virtual machines.

Terms and definitions

HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars containers) - vPars containers enables you to run multiple instances of HP-UX simultaneously on one hard partition by dividing that hard partition further into virtual partitions. Each virtual partition is assigned its own subset of hardware, runs a separate instance of HP-UX, and hosts its own set of applications. Because each instance of HP-UX is isolated from all other instances, vPars provides application and operating system (OS) fault isolation. Each instance of HP-UX can have different patches and a different kernel.
HPVM Hypervisors - HPVM hypervisors are soft partitioning and virtualization technologies that provides operating system isolation, with sub-CPU allocation granularity and shared I/O. HPVM hypervisors can be installed on an Integrity server, Integrity server blade, or hardware partition (nPartition) running HP-UX. The HPVM hypervisor environment consists of two types of components:
- HPVM Host
- VMs (also called guests)
HPVM Hypervisor Host (Host) - The HPVM hypervisor host virtualizes physical processors, memory, and I/O devices, allowing you to allocate them as virtual resources to each virtual machine.
HPVM - Individual VMs, components of the HPVM Hypervisor.
vPars - Individual vPars, components of the vPars Container.
vSwitches - Virtual switches.

Requirements

The following are requirements for HP-UX virtualization:

For both vPars and HPVM hypervisors:
- Make all host servers (HP-UX servers) managed servers on HPE Server Automation. For more information, see the SA 10.50 User Guide.
For vPars:
- Install the Virtual Partitions product on the host server. See “Virtual Partitions” in http://docs.hp.com/hpux/11iv3.

For HPVM hypervisors:

Install the HP Integrity Virtual Machine product on the host server. See “HP Integrity Virtual Machines and Online VM Migration” in: http://docs.hp.com/hpux/11iv3.

Supported platforms and configurations

Managing HP-UX virtual servers using SA supports the following platforms and configurations:

Platform or configuration	Support
Virtualization platforms	vPars A.5.06 and later versions HPVM hypervisors 4.2 and later versions
HP-UX guest OS	11iV3
HP-UX host OS for IVM and first vPars on physical server	11iV3
Processor architecture	Itanium
SA version	9.04 CORD release
SA platform	RHEL AS4 – 64-bit
Satellite and multimaster support	RHEL AS4 – 64-bit
Integrity platform support	As defined by the vPars and HPVM support matrix.

Non-supported HP-UX virtual servers

Cloning and migration of VMs are not supported by the HP-UX Virtualization Manager. However, they are supported by HPE Integrity Virtual Machines.

Required SA permissions

This section describes the SA permissions required for HP-UX use. For complete information on permissions, see the SA 10.50 Administration Guide.

Virtualization service management permissions

The SA Administration Guide provides details on permissions required for HP-UX use. Not all of these permissions apply to HP-UX; check these tables for more detailed information.

Required action permissions

To manage HP-UX VMs, your SA user must either belong to an SA user group that has the following action permissions or have the permissions:

Permission tab	Setting	User action enabled
`System Administration: Managed Servers and Groups`	Yes	View managed servers and device groups
`Virtualization: View Virtualization Inventory`	Yes	View HPVM hypervisors, HPVMs, vPars containers, vPars, and vSwitches Discover and refresh HPVM hypervisors
`Virtualization: Manage VM Lifecycle: Create VM Manage VM Lifecycle: Modify VM Manage VM Lifecycle: Delete VM`	Yes	Create, modify, and remove HPVM hypervisors, vPars containers, vPars, vSwitches, and HPVMs
`Virtualization: Manage VM Power State`	Yes	Shut down, halt, and start HPVMs, vPars, and vSwitches

Required folder permissions

You need access to the SA Library folder containing the HP-UX Virtualization Manager web extension to manage HP-UX VMs and run the web extension. This web extension is located in the SA Library folder /Opsware/Tools/Virtualization Programs. For complete information on folder permissions, refer to Overview section.

Use the following procedure to assign the required folder permissions to a user:

Log in to the SA Client as an administrative user that has permission to set folder permissions.
In the SA Client, select the Library tab.
Select the By Folder tab to display the SA Library folder structure.
Navigate to the folder: /Opsware/Tools/Virtualization Programs.
Right-click Virtualization Programs and select the Folder Properties menu. This displays the Folder Properties window.
In the Folder Properties window, select the Permissions tab. This displays the user groups that have some permissions to the folder.
Select the user group you want to grant access to. If the user group does not appear, select the Add button to add it.
Select Execute Objects Within Folder.
Select OK.

Required resource permissions

As with all server management tasks, you need access to the HP-UX servers. Grant access to the facility, customer and at least one device group of your HP-UX managed servers. For complete information on resource permissions, see the SA 10.50 Administration Guide.

Server and switch status icons

This section describes the icons associated with HPVM hypervisors and vPars containers.

The following table describes the vPar container and HPVM hypervisor status icons (displayed in the HP-UX Virtualization Manager web extension) and their meaning:

Server icons

Icon	Icon meaning for vPars containers	Icon meaning for HPVM hypervisor
	Agent-managed 1 or more vPars reachable	Agent-managed and reachable
	Agent-managed Unreachable	Agent-managed but unreachable
	Agentless (or HP-UX Virtualization Manager web extension not run while the server in nPars mode) 1 or more nPars reachable	Not applicable
	Agentless (or HP-UX Virtualization Manager web extension not run while the server in vPars mode) Unreachable	Not applicable

The following table shows the vSwitch icons displayed in the HP-UX Virtualization Manager web extension and their meanings.
