VM problem

Aggy — Tue, 27 Jun 2006 06:43:26 GMT

We have got VM's on our npar server.
On the Npar server I used hpvmmodify to add another disk to our existing Virtual machine
hpvmmodify -P Servername -a disk:scsi:0.0,2:disk:/dev/rdsk/cxtxdx
when I use hpvmstatus on our Npar server I can see in the storage interface detail that the hard disk is allocated

HPVMSTATUS O/P ON OUR NPAR Server

disk scsi 0 0 0 9 0 disk /dev/rdsk/c10t1d4 - NEW
but when I do a IOSCAN on our VM Server
I only see the 2 disks not the new one which I created on target 9

Shalom Aggy,

Suggestions:
1) disk is not properly assigned to the vpar
2) disk requires pvcreate.
3) boot the vpar
4) Disk may be dead.

Thanks Steve

I removed the drive, created it again using HPVMMODIFY.
Did a insf -e on my virtual Server but still cannnot see the drive.

I had the same problem and it came down to the Device driver. I was told to upgrade my scsi drivers to see it in the virtual server. Try it on....

Don't know if any of the above has resolved your problem. But, when I've added devices to IntegrityVM, I have to reboot the VM to get it to recognize the new hardware. Doing "insf -e" doesn't work. Has to be a reboot at this time. I believe that a future release of IVM will allow dynamic HW addition/removal.
