HP Integrity Virtual Machines (IVMs) is a hosted hypervisor virtualization technology within the HP Virtual Server Environment, which lets you create multiple virtual servers with shared resources within a single HP Integrity server or nPartition.

As shown in Figure: HP Integrity Virtual Machines architecture, a virtual machine (VMGuest) runs within the physical machine (VMHost). The virtual machine is connected to a virtual storage device and a virtual switch (VSwitch).

For more information about virtual switches, virtual storage devices, and Integrity Virtual Machines, refer to the HP documentation.
