It shows me:

Please select a boot option

EFI Shell [Built-in]
Boot option maintenance menu


Use ^ and v to change option(s). Use Enter to select an option

Searching for device at Scsi(Pun2,Lun0)Loading.: HP-UX Primary Boot: 0/0/1/0.2.0
Load of HP-UX Primary Boot: 0/0/1/0.2.0 failed: Not Found
Paused - press any key to continue

How could I see all the disks I have in the system?
Thanks a lot of!

Re: EFI commands

Once you interrupt the boot and are on ISL prompt, do ll /stand/
Do you see vmunix file?? If not try booting from old kernel.

Re: EFI commands

Hi,

Thanks. I haven't got some files.
I tell you, I am doing proves with iVM, I have configured one iVM in one Host, where the disks are LV
Storage Interface Details]
Guest Physical
Device Adaptor Bus Dev Ftn Tgt Lun Storage Device
====== ========== === === === === === ========= =========================
disk scsi 0 1 0 0 0 lv /dev/vgvm03/rlvol2
disk scsi 0 1 0 1 0 lv /dev/vgvm03/rlvol3
disk scsi 0 1 0 2 0 lv /dev/vgvm03/rlvol1

And now I am trying to move this iVM to another Host B.
Is this Host B, I have do an vgimport and vgchange -a y ,to activate de /dev/vgvm03, but when I try to boot, the system shows me

And now, I don't know what I have to do.

Could you help me?
Thanks a lot of!

Hi,

I don't understand nothing, now I have passed to Host B the iVM, and now works ok.
Maybe the vgchange -a y , was not ok.

Thanks a lot of!!
