HPVM guest not comming up

[kampatel]

One of the hpvm guest is not coming up and gives the below error:

Please wait for the guest start sequence to complete. Use of the attention
character can prevent the guest from running.
hpvmstart: WARNING (host): Hardware path '0/3/0/0/0/1.0x21120090a5004c16.0x0' does not exist.
HPVM guest  configuration problems:
Warning 1 on item 0/3/0/0/0/1.0x21120090a5004c16.0x0: Hardware path '0/3/0/0/0/1.0x21120090a5004c16.0x0' is invalid.
These problems may prevent HPVM guest terrel from starting.

I am trying to remove the above path with hpvmodify command which belongs to tape 

hpvmmodify -P <guest> -d tape:scsi::attach:/dev/rdsk/12mn

but it gives below error:

hpvmmodify: Unable to find device tape:scsi::attach:/dev/rdsk/12mn.
hpvmmodify: WARNING (host): Hardware path '0/3/0/0/0/1.0x21120090a5004c16.0x0' does not exist.

Kindly provide your inputs to proceed in resolving the said issue.

Regards,

Kamlesh.

You might try adding a '-F' option to your 'hpvmmodify' command and see if that helps.

For example:

hpvmmodify -P <guest> -F -d tape:scsi::attach:/dev/rdsk/12mn

I just noticed that you have /dev/rdsk/12mn, which is not valid for tapes or disks.  Did you mean to use '/dev/rmt/12mn'?
