Re: HPVM - hpvmdevmgmt -l gdev shows DEVTYPE=FILE
Hi,
First, should this be posted in the Virtualization section and not the LVM/VxVM section?
Second, can you post the output from the commands:
- hpvmstatus -P hnssb02 -V
- cat /var/opt/hpvm/guests/hnssb02/vmm_config.current
That way I can see how the host thinks this guest storage is configured.
Thanks,
Dave

SolutionInteresting. I have seen this happen with lvols (where HPVM is coded to default to file when we fail to get wwid
of the lvol device) but never with disk.
The procedure which should fix it:
hpvmdevmgmt -d gdev:/dev/rdisk/diskXY:depend:<guestname>
// repeat the above for all devices belonging to one guest that have incorrect DEVTYPE.
// this should remove the entries from the database
hpvmmodify -P <guestname> -e <same_entitlement_which_guest_already_has>
// the no-action modify recreates the entries in the database
hpvmdevmgmt -l gdev:/dev/rdisk/diskXY
// verify DEVTYPE=LV
