Ideal for customers who can benefit from proactive notification, but do not need proactive service delivery and integration with a management platform. • HP Insight Remote Support Advanced: This software provides comprehensive remote monitoring and proactive service support for nearly all HP servers, storage, network, and SAN environments, plus selected non-HP servers that have a support obligation with HP. It is integrated with HP Systems Insight Manager. A dedicated server is recommended to host both HP Systems Insight Manager and HP Insight Remote Support Advanced. Details for both versions are available at: http://www.hp.com/go/insightremotesupport To download the software, go to Software Depot: http://www.software.hp.com Select Insight Remote Support from the menu on the right.

1 Introduction Thank you for installing HP Integrity Virtual Machines (also called Integrity VM). This Release Notes document describes the changes in this version of the Integrity VM product. The Integrity VM Version 4.2.5 release introduces several new features including support for the HP-UX 11i v3 1009 as a VM Host. The following patches and software products are required: • On the 11i v3 VM Host: ◦ PHSS_41543 1.0 HPVM B.04.20.05 CORE NOTE: Patch PHSS_41543 (or superseding patch) must be installed on the VM Host prior to any guest activation; otherwise, guests might fail to start. See Section 2.3.19 (page 26). ◦ PHSS_41550 1.0 HPVM B.04.20.05 HPVM-VMSGTK • Logical Volume Manager (LVM) software Install LVM B.11.31.1010 on the VM Host. To locate LVM on the software depot website, go to http://software.hp.com and search for the keyword LVM. Check the online version of this manual on the BSC website, HP integrity Virtual Machines documentation, for any addition required patches. NOTE: Integrity VM patches for fixes developed subsequent to the Integrity VM V4.2.5 release are available at the HP IT Resource Center (ITRC) website: http://www.itrc.hp.com. HP recommends that you install the latest AVIO components for both the VM Host and the guest; however, updating both guest and host components at the same time is not mandatory. Updating both components ensures that you always receive the latest bug fixes for a complete solution. HP fully supports different versions of the guest and VM Host AVIO components. For example, you can run a guest AVIO driver based on the March 2008 Fusion with a VM Host AVIO driver based on the December 2008 Fusion. Always check the software depot website,http://software.hp.com, for the latest version of AVIO software. Search for the keyword HPVM AVIO. In addition, check this website to determine the required version of Ignite for AVIO. This manual is organized in the following way: • This introductory chapter contains a list of the new features provided in the new release, as well as a description of the manual organization. It also may contain information of general interest to the release, like Section 1.3 (page 17) and documentation issues. • Chapter 2 through 10 provide release notes, which each chapter divided into two categories: ◦ Changes and issues in this release — which describe changes and issues in the V4.2.5 release or new information needed to use V4.2.5. ◦ Known issues — which describe issues and information persisting from previous releases and still relevant to the new release. • Chapter 11 provides the support policy tables for Integrity VM V4.2.5 and its components.
