Recently I had to connect to some virtual HP and since I did not know nothing about this environment, I had to dig a little in order to get some results. Well, I have learn nothing significant but I am sharing it with you anyway :)
How to list your virtual machines:
gzhvm01:/#hpvmstatus [Virtual Machines] Virtual Machine Name VM # OS Type State #VCPUs #Devs #Nets Memory Rmt Host ==================== ===== ======= ========= ====== ===== ===== ======= ======== gzhpvm1 1 HPUX On (OS) 1 2 4 2 GB - rest 2 HPUX On (OS) 1 2 4 1792 MB - gzhpvm01 3 HPUX On (OS) 1 5 4 2048 MB - gzhpvm03 6 HPUX On (OS) 1 6 3 2560 MB - gzhpvm05 8 HPUX On (OS) 1 5 3 2788 MB - gzhpvm02 14 HPUX On (OS) 2 6 4 4096 MB - gzhpvm04 10 HPUX On (OS) 1 3 4 2555 MB - gzhpvm06 12 HPUX On (OS) 1 5 3 4808 MB - gzhpvm08 13 HPUX On (OS) 2 3 4 2556 MB -
How to connect to the console of a virtual machine:
suphvm01:/#hpvmconsole -P protoa1 vMP MAIN MENU CO: Console CM: Command Menu CL: Console Log SL: Show Event Logs VM: Virtual Machine Menu HE: Main Help Menu X: Exit Connection [protoa1] vMP> CO (Use Ctrl-B to return to vMP main menu.) GZHPVM1 - Test Machine Console Login:
Note the commands displayed on the Main Menu, they are very useful and pretty understandable.
Enjoy :)
