How the HP VM guest mount ISO file at HP VM Server?

Hello everyone

I have followed the manual, using the command: (44 is the VM guest ID)

hpvmmodify -p 44 -a dvd:scsi:file:/home/iso/Disk1.iso

To let the VM guest mount the ISO file

The command runs smoothly. But when I connect to the VM guest.

# ioscan -funC disk
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
=======================================================================
disk 0 0/0/0/0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP Virtual Disk
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s1
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3
disk 1 0/0/0/0.1.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP Virtual FileDVD

I do not have the /dev/dsk/cXtXdX file system name for the Virtual FileDVD. So I want to ask what to do if I need to access such ISO file from VM guest?

From the HPVM guest run the below command to create device files.
# insf -e
# ioscan -fnC disk

If you still face the issue, post the below commands output
# hpvmstatus -v
# hpvmstatus -p 44

Hello Pradeep

Just use the command insf, it works! I did not realize such command.

Thanks very much.
