Integrity Virtual Machines is software from Hewlett-Packard that allows multiple virtual machines to run concurrently on any Itanium server running HP-UX, notably the HP Integrity line. It is part of HP's Virtual Server Environment suite.

The product is optimized for server use.

History

Christophe de Dinechin initiated a skunkworks project to virtualize Itanium, with the help of Jean-Marc Chevrot and of a "virtual team" of experienced HP engineers. A prototype of Integrity Virtual Machines was then developed between 2000 and 2003 by Christophe de Dinechin, Todd Kjos and Jonathan Ross.[1][2] It was then turned into a full-fledged product by a larger team of experienced OpenVMS, Tru64 Unix and HP-UX kernel engineers.

Capabilities

Exact specifications depend on the precise version and system configuration.

User interface

Integrity Virtual Machines can be created and managed using a command line interface or a graphical user interface accessed using a web browser.

Essential commands include:

The user interface is integrated in the HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager.[12]
