Hpvmstart ERROR: The file containing module 'hpvmntdvr' is missing

After working for years and seemingly no changes hpvm no longer starts

 

bash-4.0# /sbin/init.d/hpvm start
set NONVM percent to   2.00
    root  1927     1  0 14:24:37 ?         0:00 /opt/hpvm/bin/hpvmctrld
ERROR:   The file containing module 'hpvmntdvr' is missing. Information
         in that file is needed to resolve module dependencies.
ERROR:   hpvmntdvr load failed, Integrity VM software can not be started.

 

A check for this module confirms it is not present

 

bash-4.0# ls /stand/current/mod/
cdfs        dmpap       dmphpalua   hpvmdvr     ipf
cifs        dmpapf      dmpjbod     hpvmdynmem  pfil
dmpaa       dmpapg      fdd         hssn        rng
dmpaaa      dmphdsalua  gvid_info   hvsd        rng.prep

 

All of the hpvm commands fail

 

bash-4.0# hpvmstatus -V
hpvmstatus: HPVM currently not running.
hpvmstatus: Unable to continue.

 

 

bash-4.0# kcmodule | grep hpvm
hpvmdvr                          loaded  explicit  auto-loadable, unloadable
hpvmdynmem                       loaded  explicit  auto-loadable, unloadable
hpvmntdvr           (now)        auto    depend    auto-loadable, unloadable

 

 

The system is running 11.23  ( old I know but needed to be that for customer reasons). I've tried a couple of reboots to no effect

 

Cheers

Paul

OK, so you need the file back. Maybe /opt/hpvm/drivers or from backup, if not there.

 

I work for HPE

Thanks for your reply. The driver looks to already be there

 

bash-4.0# ls /opt/hpvm/drivers
hpvmdvr    hpvmntdvr

Finally fixed  - I had to copy /usr/conf/mod/hpvmntdvr  to /stand/current/mod/hpvmntdvr

 

Thanks for the help
