Re: setup virtualisation

It is already assigned to win1.

Post

# hpvmstatus -P win1

Hope this helps!

Re: setup virtualisation

This is what you have assigned:

disk scsi 0 0 0 0 0 disk /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0
dvd scsi 0 0 0 1 0 disk /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0
dvd scsi 0 0 0 2 0 disk /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0
disk scsi 0 0 0 3 0 disk /dev/rdsk/c4t0d1


But /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 is the only one existing device.

Of course the guest cannot find any disk - there is nothing!

I can see only 1 HDD in your ioscan - this is used for the host.


Where do you want to put the guest vdisk???

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: setup virtualisation

If you only want to test, you can create another LVOL in vg00 and use this as a virtual disk for the guest.

Otherwise use a new disk.

Remember to adjust your vswitch!!

Hint:

If you create an ISO image of your install media and use this as a virtual DVD, you'll be much (!) faster.

Hope this helps!

Torsten.

Re: setup virtualisation

I create a new logical volum "win"
and i retry the installation :


Warning 1 on item /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0: '/dev/rdsk/c3t2d0' backing device does not exist.
Warning 2 on item /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0: '/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0' backing device does not exist.
Warning 3 on item /dev/rdsk/c4t0d1: '/dev/rdsk/c4t0d1' backing device does not exist.
Warning 4 on item switch1: Vswitch 'switch1' does not exist.
These problems may prevent HPVM guest win1 from starting.
hpvmstart: Unable to continue.

the same error.

Re: setup virtualisation

>> I create a new logical volum "win"

Did you somewhere assign this LVOL yet?

Delete the win1 definition and start over - too much wrong entries are already there!

Hope this helps!
