What type of VM you are using? HPVM or VMWare ?

What is your output of hpvmstatus command ?

[kiran b jadhav]

type of VM: HPIVM

[root@hp-test1]/#hpvmstatus

I am trying to install it through physical DVD

[Shibin_2]

hpvm runs only itanium versions of linux.

This will be helpful.

And what about windows? any specific requirement?

[Tim Nelson]

you would need a Windows version for Itanium as well.

[kiran b jadhav]

Tim can you provide me any link...like shibin provided.Please :-)

[Torsten.]

What kind of linux do you have?

You need an Itanium version!

[kiran b jadhav]

I have installed HPUX on vm01 & wanted to install Linux on vm02 & windows on vm03.
I was trying to install "Red hat 5.2 version", "RHEL 5.1 64bit" but no luck

Shibin & Tim told me that it requires Linux/windows itanium version. Please help

[kiran b jadhav]

one more thing..i am using trial version of HPIVM

[Torsten.]

IMHO this is not the itanium version, there is no fs0: in your mapping.

Hi Kiran,

You can install Microsoft Windows Server 2008 as a guest. You can get the ISO image from the following location:

I have downloaded "windows 2008 (Itanium)" OS ISO image, but while installing it is giving problem.
I am unable to mount CD/DVD.

You most likely need to tell mount that it is a CD and what format. Also what tool did you use to create that CD/DVD? Can you read it on Windows?

Hi kiran,
Simply try this this will work if your OS is 11iv3
mount -r -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom

let me know if it is not worked for you.

[kiran b jadhav]

still having problem :-(

[root@hp-test1]/#mount -r -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0 /sd_dvd/

[kiran b jadhav]

i downloaded the iso image and then copied it to DVD and now trying to mount that iso image to server.

Also downloaded ISOIMAGE-ENH and then ran command
#kcmodule fspd=loaded

then tried to mount FS. but it is still showing "unrecognized file system" error.

[kiran b jadhav]

Trying to install below iso image but no luck; even tried to install it through DVD,
Please help me out Gyan Gurus:

SW_DVD5_Win_Svr_Itanium_2008_R2_64Bit_English_MLF_X15-59946.ISO

[Torsten.]

No need to mount anything during installation.

Assign an "empty" virtual CD to the guest.

"insert" the ISO image into this drive from vMP.


The manual has all the details.

[kiran b jadhav]

I tried to install through iso image as well as through physical dvd.

Actually the VM guest should automatically locate the iso image and boot through it, but this is not the case.

While booting from DVD it gives error:
ConvertPages: Incompatible memory types
ConvertPages: Incompatible memory types

[root@hp-test1]/#hpvmstatus -P vm02 |grep -i dvd
