7.2.2 AVIO LAN Devices Left Unclaimed by OpenVMS Guest if vswitch is Down at<br />

Boot<br />

If you boot an OpenVMS guest while the vswitch is not UP, AVIO interfaces associated with the<br />

vswitch might not be claimed in the guest. For example, this issue might occur if the guest is booted<br />

prior to booting the vswitch, or if the corresponding network interface on the VM Host is not cabled<br />

during the guest boot time.<br />

If you encounter this problem, perform the following steps:<br />

1. Fix the vswitch state; that is, ensure that the hpvmnet command displays the vswitch state as<br />

UP.<br />

2. Once the vswitch is started, reboot the OpenVMS guest to get the AVIO LAN devices<br />

recognized, which ensures that all the AVIO LAN interfaces that are configured through this<br />

vswitch are recognized by the guest.<br />

7.2.3 Known Limitation on OpenVMS Guests and <strong>HP</strong>-UX Guests Sharing the same<br />

vswitch<br />

If you configure an <strong>HP</strong>-UX guest and an OpenVMS guest with the same vswitch, the network<br />

communication between these guests fail. This problem will be fixed in a future version of OpenVMS.<br />

To workaround this problem, configure the <strong>HP</strong>-UX guest and the OpenVMS guest with different<br />

vswitches.<br />

7.2.4 OpenVMS Guests <strong>Support</strong> vswitch-based VLAN Configuration and Not<br />

Guest-based VLANs<br />

AVIO LAN drivers on OpenVMS guests are VLAN tag-unaware and support vswitch-based a VLAN<br />

configuration. Use the following command to configure VLAN for an OpenVMS guest:<br />

# hpvmnet -S vswitch-name -u portid:portnum:vlanid:vlandid<br />

See the <strong>HP</strong> <strong>Integrity</strong> <strong>Virtual</strong> <strong>Machines</strong> 4.2: Installation, Configuration, and Administration manual<br />

on the BSC website, http://www.hp.com/go/virtualization-manuals.<br />

7.2.5 Networking Interface <strong>Support</strong> for OpenVMS Guest<br />

The OpenVMS guest supports the AVIO interface; however, <strong>Integrity</strong> VM commands allow you to<br />

configure either AVIO or VIO devices to a guest, and these devices might not give any apparent<br />

errors during the startup. VIO devices are not supported on OpenVMS guests.<br />

7.2.6 AVIO Non-Physical Network vswitch (localnet) Restrictions<br />

OpenVMS guests that are created (hpvmcreate) or modified (hpvmmodify) to add and use a<br />

non-physical vswitch must use the same vswitch by name for each OpenVMS guest. The following<br />

scenarios fail:<br />

• Attempting to start an OpenVMS guest that is using two different localnet vswitches on the<br />

same guest<br />

• Using a different localnet vswitch than an already active OpenVMS guest is using<br />

7.2.7 Location of AVIO Networking Driver for Linux and Windows Guests<br />

AVIO networking driver for Linux and Windows are available in VMGuestSW bundle of <strong>Integrity</strong><br />

VM host software on the http://software.hp.com website. Go to this website, and search for the<br />

VMGuestSW bundle.<br />

7.2.8 Changing Network Device Type on Linux Guest<br />

If you change the type of network device on a Linux guest, either from VIO to AVIO or AVIO to<br />

VIO, follow these steps:<br />
