Problem loading 11.31 OS on 11.23 VM guest via ignite ?

[Torsten.]

How did you create the image? I think there is something wrong with it.

[Jerry_109]

Should there be such a mixture of VM from swlist ? I noticed my "hpvmstatus -P hovm230 -V"

Shows :
Virtual Machine
VM's Serial Number : VM00811002
VM's Version Number : 1.20.0

Hello All,

I'm not sure how to attempt to boot directly from DVD? From my "EFI Boot Maintenance Manager" What are the following volumes? I reconize :

Load File [Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1|0)/Mac(025919940970)]

This is the mac for my lan card, but the others I'm not sure. I know for pa-risc I could "search IPL" to locate a bootable device, but not sure for ia64.

The image looks fine - same size as mine:

Boot:IINSTALL?

You shouldn't have to do that...

After assigning the DVD and storage...go to the vm guest console..

Go to "Boot option maintenance menu"

Do a "Cold Reset"

Let system boot - it should find the install media by itself.

[Jerry_109]

yes, Geoff, I did a cold reset. I will try it again, and send you the output. How do you tell if your iso file is good ?

When i execute the "hpvmstatus -P hovm230 -V" , and it shows :
version label & version number as 1.20 is this correct?

I located this isoinfo cmd. I think this indicates the iso file created was good ?

Do you have the latest firmware installed on that rx6600?

If not - then I think you need it.

I would place a call with HP if I were you.

Hello All,

I just wanted to follow-up, and let you know we reloaded the 11.23OS with Dec.07, and all works fine. The 11.31 vmguest are fine. I believe there were some VM sets missing. Thanks for all your help........ :>)
