Configuring Dynamic Resources to Virtual Machine

VM must be down to set Dynamic memory parameters

Assigning Dynamic Memory to VM

# hpvmmodify –p 27 –x ram_dyn_type=any \

-x ram_dyn_min=512M \

-x ram_dyn_max=1G \

-x ram_dyn_target_start=512M \

Other Options:

-x ram_dyn_entitlement (Guarenteed amount of memory to VM) in MB or GB

-x amr_enable (Enable automatic memory reallocation) 1 or 0

-x amr_chunk_size (Granule size for automatic memory reallocation in MB or GB)

Check Dynamic Memory Information of VM

# hpvmstatus -VP vFinDB

OR

On guest machine or vm

# hpvmmgmt -V –l ram

To Enable Automatic Memory reallocation to VM edit parameter in /etc/rc.config.d/hpvmconf file of VSP

# vi /etc/rc.config.d/hpvmconf

HPVMAMRENABLE=1 ; 1= start hpvmamrd deamon with host software

Guest Configuration

# hpvmmodify –P vPar27 –x amr_enable=1 –x amr_chunk_resize=512

# hpvmmgmt -l cpu

Enable only 2 vCPU in VM

# hpvmmgmt –c 2

Note: However disabled vCPU still appear in hpvmsar command, to changing actual number of vCPU
in VM configuration requires VM to be down at the time of modification.

Cloning Virtual Server

Create Template to clone virtual server

# vparcreate –P vParTemplate –a cpu:::1:4

-a network:aviolan::vswitch:vswlan1

-a mem::2048

-x active_config=false

# hpvmclone –P vParTemplate –N New1

# hpvmstatus

Note:

While creating template active_config a ribute set to false, because it just a template so resources are not
reserved to template.

After creation of vPar/Vm it need to change active_config a ribute to true

# vparmodify –P vPar27 -x active_config=true

# hpvmmodify –P vPar27 -x active_config=true

When cloning a vPar, the clone fails when non sharable devices are configured. To clone vPar, all
devices assigned to existing vPar must be sharable

When cloning a VM, warning message will displays when non sharable devices are configured, but the
clone continues.

Converting a vPar to VM

A VSP can host a vPar or VM, but not both in v6.1

Migrating Integrity Virtual Machines

Requirements:

Virtual machine backing stores likes SAN Lun’s are visible to source and target VSP
DIO Devices are labelled identically on source and target VSP
vswitch names used by the vPar or VM are identical on both VSP
Source and destination VSP network properly configured.

Online migration requires both VSP are having same processor family.

# machinfo –v | grep –I family

Family 32, model 2, stepping 4

Online migration of virtual machine is limited to processor families 31 and 32.

VSP Network and Encryption Configuration

Two variables in /etc/rc.config.d/hpvmconf file set the encryption defaults

Sets the encryption algorithm aes-128-cbc (default) or aes-256-cbc(stronger encryption)

SSH-Key based Configuration for both VSP

Example:

On both VSP, verify hostname/IP resolution includes files

# grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf

Hosts: files dns

On both VSP verify that /etc/hosts resolves only host-hpvm-migr to the private network address.

# grep migr /etc/hosts

Offline Virtual Server Migration

Perform Pre-Migration compatibility checking between the local VSP and target VSP

# hpvmmigrate –s -h target_IP_or_hostname

Here, -h = perform compatibility checking

Without –h option it actually performs migration.

# hpvmmodify –P vm_name –x runnable_status= enabled

More Options for hpvmmigrate command-

-D = Delete vpar from source VSP; default is not to delete and disable runnable status

-b = automatically boot the vpar on target VSP

-n = start the migration in background

-N = Assign new name to vpar on the target VSP. If the vpar has same name on target VSP then its
UUID must have same and marked not runnable on target VSP.

-d = power down the vpar after resources verification phase of the migration completed successfully.

-C = use with –m to copy local storage from source to target

For online migration of VM it is necessary to Enable Runnable status and Online Migration status of VM

Lab Activity: Migration of Virtual Servers

Part 1: Configuring the VSP’s for Virtual Server Migration

Shutdown the vpar/VM

# vparconsole –p 27 OR # hpvmconsole –p 27

# shutdown –h now

Verify vswitches on both the VSP

#hpvmnet

Verify vswitch name and port number if assigned.

Find shared LUN to be used as backing store on virtual server that will be migrated.
Verify the boot devices

# ioscan -m dsf

Find World wide ID of boot device for your VM guest

# ioscan – C disk –P wwid <= on VSP1

nd
Note: A common WWN indicates that the same lun, whether viewed on first VSP or 2 VSP, in the
ioscan listing abouve that are 2 common WWN, also note there pDSF are different.

Determine if DNS is used on VSP by checking /etc/resolv.conf file. Edit /etc/hosts file to add 2 lines
for private IP address for virtual machines.

Example:

192.168.20.1 vsp1-hpvm-migr.usv1.net vsp1-hppvm-migr

192.168.20.2 vsp2-hpvm-migr.usv1.net vsp2-hppvm-migr

# vi /etc/nsswitch.conf

Hosts: files, dns

# nsquery hosts vsp1_hostname-hpvm-migr

# nsquery hosts vsp2_hostname-hpvm-migr

Identify LAN instances

#ioscan - C lan

Edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file to add private ip address that are mentioned in /etc/hosts files

Restart network service

# /sbin/init.d/net start

Verify private network is configured

# ifconfig lan#

Disable /etc/issue banner for SSH

On VSP2

# /opt/hpvm/bin/secsetup -r VSP1-hpvm-migr

Test the ssh trust between the VSP

On VSP1

# hpvmmigrate -o -s -h VSP2_hostname

On VSP2

# hpvmmigrate –o –s –h VSP1_Hostname

Part 2: Creating the VM Guest and Migrating it Online

On VSP1

# hpvmcreate -P vsg3 -r 2G

# hpvmmodify –P vsg3 -a disk:aviostor::disk:/dev/disk/disk27

#hpvmmodify –P vsg3 –a network:aviolan::vswitch:vswlan0

# hpvmnvram -lp vsg3

# hpvmnvram -P vsg3 -a /dev/rdisk/disk27:1:”\EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI”

# hpvmstart -P vsg3

Now Migrate vsg3 on VSP2

# hpvmmigrate -o –P vsg3 –h VSP2_Hostname

Observe the migration phase.

When Migration is completed, verify the vsg3 is running on VSP2

On VSP2

# hpvmstatus

# hpvmstatus -VP vsg3 | grep status

On VSP1

# hpvmstatus -VP vsg3 | grep status

physical HBA port, so that virtual server get unique vPort on VSP’s physical HBA.

SAN knows the vPort directly, storage visibility to the virtual servers without VSP visibility.

GUIDmgr (Global Unique Identifier Manager):

It is a client server software that is used to assign vWWN to virtual server virtual fibre channel adapters.

OUID (Organizationally Unique Identifier):

It is having leading 7 hex digits of WWN. 50014c2 for GUIDmgr.

Example: Configuring GUIDmgr and Adding NPIV to Virtual Server

Verify GUIDmgr bundle is installed on VSP

# swlist –l bundle GUIDMGR

Check FC HBA of VSP supports NPIV or not

# ioscan –fnNC fc

# /opt/fcms/bin/fcmsutil /dev/fclp1

Initialize GUIDmgr Server

# cd /opt/guid/utils

# ./guid_server_prepare.sh

Define Hostname bl86-220 as GUIDmgr server

# /opt/guid/sbin/guidconfig -h bl86-220

Prepare the client side of the GUIDmgr server to install public key

# /opt/guid/bin/guid_client_prepare -a

Define the WWN managed pool as 50014c2001007110 – 50014c200100711f

# /opt/guid/bin/guidmgmt -S wwn 001007110 00100711f

Verify the port WWN and Node WWN pools

# /opt/guid/bin/guidmgmt -L wwn

Add NPIV to Client machine

# vparconsole –p 27 –ic “CO”

Login as root user

# ioscan -C fc -P wwid
