could you give me the command to get the following o/p please..

# hpvmstatus
[Virtual Machines]
Virtual Machine Name VM # OS Type State #VCPUs #Devs #Nets Memory Runsysid
==================== ===== ======= ========= ====== ===== ===== ======= ========
VM01 2 HPUX Off 5 0 0 27 GB 0
VM02 3 HPUX Off 5 0 0 10 GB 0

The server is in a far off location.... So I cannot change DVD's every now and then.. What would be the best way to Install OS on the VM Guests... I do not have an Ignite server setup here.

You can either use ignite or use a ISO image to install.

But I do not remember how to get the iso image.. where to put this iso image or how to access it...

Do I have a GUI to do this or should it be all from the command line

You can create the ISOs with "dd". Everthing else is in your previous threads and - of course - in the manual.
