>>when it asks for disk 2... how should I go about.<<

You mean to say that the OS Installation points to 2 disk path instead of 1 disk ?

No.... When installation from Disk1 is over... it will ask to insert Disk 2...

So how do I insert Disk 2.. which is also an iso image

.iso

Enter menu item number or [Q] to Quit: 1

Confirm eject action
G - Go

The second ISO must be in the same directory!

how have you assigned the vdvd iso image?
If you have specified the backing store iso file as the virtual dvd, simply use hpvmmodify -P VMname -m dvd:scsi::file:2nd_iso_image_pathname

I have deleted the first iso and then copied the second iso

Re: oOS Installation + HPVM

melvyn burnard — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 15:59:48 GMT

well that ll output only shows one iso image file, where is the second?

Re: oOS Installation + HPVM

melvyn burnard — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 16:08:10 GMT

well it would hav ebeen better to leave the first iso, then add in teh second iso as another file, and just use the hpvmmodify command to point the virtual dvd at the second file
What you have essentially done is changed the media in a method that the system has no idea it has been changed

Ohhh... looks like I have messed up...

What should my next step..
start from dvd 1 ???

Re: oOS Installation + HPVM

Looks like you currently have the physical DVD assigned? Did you modify the virtual DVD?

Re: oOS Installation + HPVM

David Willams — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 17:00:46 GMT

now this led to other issues...

so i would like to address it here

not enough space on /var which is lvol 8

LV Name /dev/vg00/lvol8
LV Status available/syncd
LV Size (Mbytes) 12000
Current LE 750
Allocated PE 750
Used PV 1

lv size: 12000MB=11 Gig

bdf:

/dev/vg00/lvol8 10485760 6560992 3901600 63% /var

but here I have

# fsadm -F vxfs -b 27000 /var
UX:vxfs fsadm: ERROR: V-3-23544: sectors must be >= 6561025 as they are currently in use.
# fsadm -F vxfs -b 6561025 /var

So I have 25 gig in var but it shows as only 10 gig i n bdf ???

Re: oOS Installation + HPVM

melvyn burnard — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 17:28:35 GMT

well if you deleted a file in /var while it was still open, then bdf will still show the space in use, whereas df or du wiill show it free.
So doing what you are trying to do fails because it believes the file you deleted is still there
