Installing Windows on a guest VM

thom_14 — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 16:51:03 GMT

I'm trying to install Windows 2003 Server on a HPVM guest VM. I've sucessfully installed Linux and HP-UX 11iv3 VM's on the box already. I'm using http://docs.hp.com/en/T2767-90067/ch05s02.html as a guide

My problem is connecting to the partially-installed OS after the first reboot. There is an OS running; I have a DHCP-supplied IP, and I can connect to the command prompt and ping other systems on my network, but I can't ping the VM IP.

Is there any way to change the IP from the command line, or specify it when I do the first part of the install?

You can set the IP from the SAC prompt like
