clone existing HP VM dsk file to LVOL

[Eric SAUBIGNAC]

Oups !!! Where is my head ?

The proper command to boot in maintenance is :

boot vmunix -lm -is

It seems that you can also do it with "hpux -vm" but I have never tested this way

3) in the EFI shell, boot command is not supported, I can however execute fs0: and then hpux -vm, but that gives me the same result as in my previous post

Thx,

Bonjour p'Trick,

"in the EFI shell, boot command is not supported" ... yes, sorry, I didn't explain very well.

From EFI Shell :

fsX:>hpux

Then stop boot process. New prompt like "HPUX>". From this point command "boot vmunix -lm -is" is correct. I thought that you know those differences ... shame on me. Try it, but I am afraid that It will not be better.

In the new VM, the system disk in on bus 0, device 0 ... lun 0 :

disk scsi 0 0 0 0 0 lv /dev/vgsan01/rhpvm_omu_01

Could you check (hpvmstatus) that it was the same thing on the source VM with the

Question : with your first dd, where did you got the "obs=1024 seek=1" option ? Maybe it is mandatory. Tell us please
