NAME
hpvm -- HP Integrity Virtual Machines (Integrity VM).
SYNOPSIS
Virtualization technology
DESCRIPTION
Integrity Virtual Machines allows the creation and management of virtual machines (VMs) in which
unmodified operating systems designed for the Itanium Processor Family (IPF) can run. Integrity Virtual
Machines provides a VM Host, which manages the physical machine and allocates system resources, such
as memory, CPU time, and I/O devices to virtual machines. The VM Host is the HP-UX operating system
installed on the physical machine and running the Integrity Virtual Machines product. Virtual machines
run on the same physical machine as the VM Host and appear to be ordinary HP-UX processes. Each
virtual machine emulates a real Integrity machine, including firmware. A virtual machine is sometimes
referred to asa guest. The operating systemrunning in a virtual machine isreferred to as the guestoperating
system, or guest OS.
Following are commands and their descriptions:
hpvmclone: Create a cloned copy of a virtual machine.
hpvmcollect: Collect crash dumps, logs, system status, and configuration on host and guest for
post-mortem analysis.
hpvmconsole: Connect to the console of a virtual machine.
hpvmcreate: Create a new virtual machine.
hpvmdevmgmt: Manage the device database.
hpvminfo: Display information about the Integrity VM environment.
hpvmmigrate: Move a virtual machine from one VM Host to another.

hpvmnet: Configure virtual network devices.
hpvmremove: Remove a virtual machine.
