Hi,

The target platform needs to be etup in support of offline migration.

Please see the HPVM v6.5 Administrators guide, for detailed setup information and the hpvmmigrate command.

Thanks for the quick response

The below procedure i have used

1. Created passwordless communication between source host and target host

2. The VM in source host is stopped(for offline migration)

3.  I have used the below command to migarte VM1 from host1 to host2

hpvmmigrate -P VM1 -h host2

the below error i got

hpvmmigrate: Connected to target VSP using 'host2'
hpvmmigrate: ERROR (VM1): Remote message: Storage/Network device not available on target.
hpvmmigrate: ERROR (VM1): Remote message: Device /dev//vg_vol/rlvol_vm21 has no match on this VSP.
hpvmmigrate: ERROR (VM1): Remote message: Device /dev//vg_vol/rlvol_vm22 has no match on this VSP.
hpvmmigrate: ERROR (VM1): Remote message: Device /dev//vg_vol/rlvol_vm23 has no match on this VSP.

4. To overcome the above issue i have used below command

# hpvmmigrate -P VM1 -h host2 -C -m disk:avio_stor:disk:/dev/vg_vol/rlvol_vm21:disk:/dev/vg_vol/rlvol_vm22:disk:/dev/vg_vol/rlvol_vm23
hpvmmigrate: Connected to target VSP using 'host2'
hpvmmigrate: Unable to find device disk:avio_stor::disk:/dev/vg_vol/rlvol_vm21

Please guide me for proper Offline migartion.
