You mean to say that the OS Installation points to 2 disk path instead of 1 disk ?

No.... When installation from Disk1 is over... it will ask to insert Disk 2...

So how do I insert Disk 2.. which is also an iso image

.iso

Enter menu item number or [Q] to Quit: 1

Confirm eject action

The second ISO must be in the same directory!

Re: oOS Installation + HPVM

how have you assigned the vdvd iso image?
If you have specified the backing store iso file as the virtual dvd, simply use hpvmmodify -P VMname -m dvd:scsi::file:2nd_iso_image_pathname
