HP VMguest boot: Validating HP Virtual Machine Configuration .................. FAIL *
Installed a VM guest on a VM Host
Integrity VM B.04.30
Environment: VSE-OE
Host and Guest have same OE and are @ 11.31
Whenever I boot the VM guest, I see this message which worries me:
Validating HP Virtual Machine Configuration .................. FAIL *
There are other messages, which I see, you might want to consider:
Please suggest. Thank you.
attachment: messages when the guest is shutting down and then coming up.

You can try these out...
Use AVIO to assign LUNs instead of SCSI
Check other configurations as well
If the OS is installed on Storage LUN, create a new VM and assign the same LUN as OS disk and check with new configuration to find out whether it is a Guest level or Host level issue.

Bonjour,
You have missed installation of guest's lib in the VMGuest. You will find the depot on the VMHost, in /opt/hpvm/guest-images/hpux/11iv3/hpvm_guest_depot.11iv3.sd
In order to understand the other error messages "Checking user database" and "Configure HP iether 100BT/Gigabit Ethernet interfaces" check /etc/rc.log

Re: HP VMguest boot: Validating HP Virtual Machine Configuration .................. FAIL *
Hi
I have checked for the softwares and /etc/rc.log in the vm guest and I see these:
*******************************************************************************************
vm guest:/ # swlist | grep 4.30
VMGuestLib B.04.30 Integrity VM Guest Support Libraries
VMGuestSW B.04.30 Integrity VM Guest Support Software
vm guest:/ #

from /etc/rc.log

Just checked this....on it vm host, I see this:
VMHost:/opt/hpvm/guest-images/hpux/11iv3 # ll

-rw-r--r-- 1 bin bin 9543680 Jan 11 2011 hpvm_guest_depot.11iv3.sd
VMHost:/opt/hpvm/guest-images/hpux/11iv3 #
Do you still suggest to install this file from vm host onto the vm guest?

Re: HP VMguest boot: Validating HP Virtual Machine Configuration .................. FAIL *
Yes, some bundles are missing in the VMGuest :
#swlist -s /opt/hpvm/guest-images/hpux/11iv3/hpvm_guest_depot.11iv3.sd
HPVM-Guest B.04.30 Integrity VM Guest
VMGuestLib B.04.30 Integrity VM Guest Support Libraries
VMProvider B.04.30 WBEM Provider for Integrity VM
In a guest :
#swlist | egrep 4.30
HPVM-Guest B.04.30 Integrity VM Guest
VMGuestLib B.04.30 Integrity VM Guest Support Libraries
VMProvider B.04.30 WBEM Provider for Integrity VM
PHSS_42545 1.0 HPVM B.04.30 vmProvider PATCH
An other point : as far as I know, the software VMGuestSW has nothing to do in a VMGuest

Earlier:
vmguest :/ # swlist | egrep 4.30
VMGuestLib B.04.30 Integrity VM Guest Support Libraries
VMGuestSW B.04.30 Integrity VM Guest Support Software
vmguest :/ #
Got this depot file hpvm_guest_depot.11iv3.sd from the vm host to the vm guest.
vmguest :/ # swlist -s /var/opt/mx/vmGuest/hpvm_guest_depot.11iv3.sd
# Initializing...
# Contacting target "vmguest"...
#
# Target: vmguest :/var/opt/mx/vmGuest/hpvm_guest_depot.11iv3.sd
#
#
# Bundle(s):
#
HPVM-Guest B.04.30 Integrity VM Guest
VMGuestLib B.04.30 Integrity VM Guest Support Libraries
VMProvider B.04.30 WBEM Provider for Integrity VM
vmguest :/ #
while installing selected HPVM-Guest and VMProvider
vmguest :/ # swlist | egrep 4.30
HPVM-Guest B.04.30 Integrity VM Guest
VMGuestLib B.04.30 Integrity VM Guest Support Libraries
VMGuestSW B.04.30 Integrity VM Guest Support Software
VMProvider B.04.30 WBEM Provider for Integrity VM
vmguest :/ #
I rebooted the server, and still go this error:
Validating HP Virtual Machine Configuration .................. FAIL *
Do I need to add that patch? PHSS_42545 ?

Re: HP VMguest boot: Validating HP Virtual Machine Configuration .................. FAIL *
In theory no, it is just a patch ... hpvm_guest_depot.11iv3.sd should be enough by itself ...
Well. First check that all software is correctly installed.The command :
swlist -l fileset -a state | egrep -v "^#|configured"
should output nothing.
Second thing, check /etc/rc.log and post the exact messages from script hpvmguestlib . An extract from one of my VM :
Start kwdbd
Output from "/sbin/rc3.d/S828kwdbd start":
----------------------------
"/sbin/rc3.d/S828kwdbd start" SKIPPED
Validating HP Virtual Machine Configuration
Output from "/sbin/rc3.d/S829hpvmguestlib start":
----------------------------
Start LVM daemon
Output from "/sbin/rc3.d/S900lvm start":
----------------------------
Starting up the lvmpud daemon
/usr/sbin/lvmpud
Third, how have you installed this Guest :
- from scratch, so with wich OE : BOE, VSOE, ... ?
- from a clone of the VMhost itself ?
--> could you post a whole swlist from the Guest ?

Re: HP VMguest boot: Validating HP Virtual Machine Configuration .................. FAIL *
vmguest # swlist -l fileset -a state | egrep -v "^#|configured"
vmguest #
/etc/rc.log - attached
hpvmguestlib - attached
How I installed this guest.
The answer I got is, deployed a golden image of an hp vm host with 11.31 VSE, and then removed the softwares which were thought to be needed for a VM host.
thank you

Re: HP VMguest boot: Validating HP Virtual Machine Configuration .................. FAIL *
OK
It is a bad idea (IMHO) to install a guest from a clone of a VMHost installed with a VSEOE distribution.
It's better to install a BOE and add some software like MirrorDisk/UX (Server), OnlineJFS, MC/ServiceGuard, ... Maybe a HAOE could also do the job. Never tried ...
So, you are also missing a bundle wich is not installed on a VSE host : HPVM-Guest. You will find it on the OE dvd
To help you to check if some other bundles/products are missing in your VM, I have attached a swlist from a VM. A litlle bit old but it works not so badly ;-)

Oups ... my poor english :
"So, you are also missing a bundle wich is not installed on a VSE host : HPVM-Guest"
--> Badly said. As a result we could understand that you must install it on the VMHost. Don't ! I wanted to say that this bundle is not installed in a VSE Host, so, because your VMGuest is a clone of the VMHost, the bundle HPVM-Guest is missing in the guest ... In other words, install HPVM-Guest in the VMGuest ;-)
