HP Virtual Server - Maximum number of Virtual Disks for Guest?

[f. halili]

How many number of DISKS can a HP virtual guest have?

Also, as I present the disk to the guest via "hpvmmodify" there are times the guest wants a reboot and would not dynamically discover the disk.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
f. halili

what version of HP Integrity Virtual Machines are you using?
for V2 or V3 it is 30

The install and config for version 3 states 30 devices total per VM Guest.

I have yet to have any issue when rebooting a server that it would not recognize the configured disk. Obviously if there was a HW failure then the answer is the same as any other type of server. Disk gone, system does not recognize it.

As far as seeing the recently added disk - did you run a ioscan -funC disk and an insf -eC disk ?

So far, I have yet to reboot when adding or removing disks from my HP-UX guests.

hello everyone,

i'm using v3. and i did an ioscan & insf.

i rebooted yesterday and the disk showed in the guest.

so 30 is the limit. i'll keep that in mind.
