HP Matrix Operating Environment Software - Manual (Page 15)

To determine the version of VM Manager currently installed, enter the following command:
#/usr/sbin/swlist VMMGR
NOTE: Beginning with the HP-UX 11i v3 March 2009 Operating Environment Update Release
(OEUR), you can optionally install VM Manager on HP SMH as part of the VSE-OE or DC-OE.
Licensing requirements
The licensing requirements for VM Manager on HP SIM and on HP SMH include the following:
• On HP SIM, VM Manager is included with Insight Dynamics - VSE for Integrity and is
installed when Insight Dynamics is installed. To make VM Manager operational, you must
have a valid license installed for at least one other component of Insight Dynamics - VSE
for Integrity (for example, Virtualization Manager) and one license installed for Integrity
VM on at least one host.
You cannot access the functionality in VM Manager unless you have a license for Integrity
VM and have Integrity VM installed on at least one system to be managed through your
licensed Insight Dynamics - VSE for Integrity components.
• On HP SMH, VM Manager is installed separately on a VM Host. You must have a license
for Integrity VM and have Integrity VM installed on that VM Host. A separate license for
VM Manager is not required.
For information about licensing, see the readme file in either the /opt/vse/src directory (HP
SIM) or the /opt/vmmgr/src directory (HP SMH).
You must purchase licenses for any software you run in a virtual machine, including the HP-UX
operating system and any HP or third-party layered software. You can purchase the licenses for
HP software under the HP Virtualization Licensing program. For more information, contact your
HP representative.
Setting security credentials
To display the full range of data about each virtual machine in VM Manager, you must have
WBEM-recognized credentials for each virtual machine. A user name and password are required
to collect resource utilization and other data, such as the status of the installed operating system.
This data is available only from a WBEM provider on the VM Host or virtual machine. The
WBEM providers are the tools used to gather data about the virtual machine and the VM Host.
The user interface uses this information to show various kinds of system status.
You can set credentials by specifying a default user name and password combination for any or
all virtual machines. You can also override the default user name or password on a case-by-case
basis.
NOTE:
•
For a given virtual machine, if no user name or password is specified, the default is used.
• If a password is specified but a user name is not, the default user name is used with the
password override. This allows a system administrator to use the same user name but
different passwords for each virtual machine.
When running VM Manager with Insight Dynamics - VSE for Integrity, HP SIM is responsible
for managing the credentials needed for using WBEM providers on the VM Host and on virtual
machines. When running VM Manager under HP SMH, HP SMH manages credentials and access
for the VM Host on which HP SMH is running; credentials for each virtual machine are managed
by VM Manager.
The method for setting WBEM credentials depends on whether you are using HP SIM or HP
SMH.
