how to install OS on an Integrity virtual machine

[Rommel T. Misa_2]

Hi Guys,

I've recently installed IVM on our rx4640 here. I have already defined the resources for the VM. Next bump is how to install HP-UX on this VM. I plan to install via DVD. How do I do this?

Thanks.

You need to add the DVD drive to your VM.

See "booting guests" from the VM Admin Guide.

You must asign your DVD at your VM machine. using command
hpvmmodify -a dvd:scsi::disk:/dev/rdsk/

after that run this command
hpvmconsole -P

and you have a screen like MP server. run command : cm -pc - on
and your vm machine will be boot with dvd already at the vm machine. do like normal installation


thanks

Is there a way to install the OS from an ignite tape of the source physical server that will now become a guest? Can this be done within the guest's console so that one doesn't have to take down the virtual machine? From what I can gather I can take down the virtual machine, boot from the tape device and do an ignite restore to the physical disk allocated to the guest.
