[melvyn burnard]

how are you presenting these iso files to your machine?
have you used:
hpvmmodify -p vmname -a dvd/scsi::file:/var/opt/hpvm/ISO-images/hpux/5014-1449.iso


If so, you cannot use the insert/eject commands from the vMP.
Simply install with the first iso file, when it asks for the second one, on the host do:
hpvmmodify -p vmname -m dvd/scsi::file:/var/opt/hpvm/ISO-images/hpux/5014-1450.iso

This effectively is a change fo the media, and once it has been done you can continue from the vMP prompt

World-writeable: 2


This is the reason!

[David Willams]

Torsten,

you saved me today... I do not know why I have overlooked it...

but thank you so much

[David Willams]

I would like to keep this thread open ... as I might get doubts .. for my next steps

hpvmclone and hpvmmigrate

[David Dilly]

The directory and the files must r--r--r--
Because there is not a burner it's a DVD-ROM (Read Only Device)

Now it will work fine.
