Not able to start Guest IVM from Host

[RW-S]

Problem :
Not able to start Guest.

Background :
I had configured Guest as Serviceguard Package. I have removed that package, but get an error saying only Serviguard can start the Guest. This was a single-node Serviceguard cluster.

When you unpackaged the guest did you use the command:

hpvmsg_package -U -P host-ivm01

as you can see, hpvm "understands" when a VM is in an SG package and this is necessary to clear that out.

Hey. Thanks for the reply, a bit late tough :) I went through creating a new IVM overwriting the one not accessible due to the error I had mentioned.

No, I did not use the hpvmsg_package command to remove the package. Used the cm command to do the same.
