problem with Virtualization on rx6600 server hp-ux 11.2

Hello everyone I got following problem, I am trying to start virtualization but:

I have tried to boot hosts from ISO file:

[Storage Interface Details]
Guest Physical
Device Adaptor Bus Dev Ftn Tgt Lun Storage Device
======= ========== === === === === === ========= =========================
dvd scsi 0 0 0 0 0 file /depot/iso-dvd/RHEL4-U4-i386-AS-disc1.iso

hpvmconsole -P jebat

blk0 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)
blk1 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)/CDROM(Entry0)

I have no fs devices (no fs were recognized), so I cannot boot from it. FS running on system is VxFS (standart for HP-UX)
I have also tried to create a null: depository and then in EFI with commands IN,EJ to mount ISO file but the same problem(no fs device).
I have EFI version :EFI Shell version 1.10 [14.62]
--------------------------------------------
Next problem is with DVD ROM, whenever I try to add access to virtual guest, I got following error
# hpvmmodify -P jebu -a dvd:scsi::disk:/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0
hpvmmodify: ERROR (jebu): Device file '/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0' in use by server.

-no I/O operation are at that time running on CDROM, I have also tried mount/umount CDROM
(device c0t0d0 is CDROM (ioscan -funC disk)
----I have tried to share CDROM by hpvmdevmgmt but with no progress)

swlist ouptput:
# swlist|grep -i "integrity vm"
T2767AC A.03.50 Integrity VM
VMGuestLib A.03.50 Integrity VM Guest Support Libraries
VMKernelSW A.03.50 Integrity VM Kernel Software
VMProvider A.03.50 WBEM Provider for Integrity VM

Thanks for responses
Thomas

I did not work with linux in a HPVM yet, but I'm pretty sure the "i386" image will not work.

The release notes say you need

Red Hat Linux Enterprise Edition Advanced Server Release 4 update 5

and your version does not look like update 5 ...
