All I see on your attachment is that you are in the EFI shell.

You can type exit to get out of it.

What exactly are you trying to do??

Are you trying to load the O/S to your new VM Client??

You really haven't told us very much here because there is no "VM" command per se. There is hpvmstatus, hpvmstart, hpvmstop, hpvmmodify (etc.) and all of these are command line from the VM Host.

Regards,
Rita

Does the VM's disk have a OS on it ? Have you ignited the VM like a regular HPUX system (or whatever OS you want to run on it)

A VM is installed from OS media or a ignite server just like a physical machine.

What's your OS version? Please boot into your OS first. If you have installed and configured, VM it will startup while your OS startup. After which, you may issue the command hpvmstatus to check your VM guests status, if you have any.

Hi
To start a configured guest
Guest server> hpvmconsole -P
navigate to PC then ON, on the server console
or do
Guest Server> hpvmstart -P .

To check the status please give command on host machine
Host Machine>hpvmstatus

Please provide more information like what you was trying to do how you came to this situation.

It looks like there is no OS disk asigned to that VM. Something "bootable" should appear like "fs0:", "fs1:"..etc and its proper path.
Something like that is missing, there is only "blk". You could try assigning a DVD with HPUX Installing software and check what happens at EFI SHELL, execute:
Shell> map -r
And look for "fs0:" (for example) or any "fsX" which points to a DVD or CD argument. Then change there by executing fsX: (just like D.O.S.).

Eli,

Showing us the same screen again isn't going to get you an answer.

What exactly have you done?

Is the O/S loaded on the VM HOST (the physical server)?
Or is this the initial load up request for the physical server, so you can install the O/S for the very first time???

I'm beginning to think you haven't gotten to the point of creating a vmclient, but until you give us some real facts, it's kind of hard to help you..

Hi Rita, the problem is start VM guest.

Hello Eli,

==================== ===== ======= ========= ====== ===== ===== ======= ========

type in>hpvmstart -p 1 (to start sap1990)
or
type in>hpvmstart -P sap1990

That last one sap1993 is obviously sitting at that EFI screen.

Eli,

One question...

Have you loaded the O/S on these virtual clients yet?
