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.
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. It was then turned into a full-fledged product by a larger team of experienced OpenVMS, Tru64 Unix and HP-UX kernel engineers.
Exact specifications depend on the precise version and system configuration.
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.
