My Problem is, as you can see, that the vm does not boot from the device /dev/rdisk/disk70. BUT I know there is an OS installed on it.
Also confusing is the fact that the map -r command does not find any devices.

When I do the following:
1) hpvmstop -P vm3
2) hpvmnvram -P vm3 -d 1
3) hpvmstart -P vm3
4) hpvmconsole -P vm3

the map -r works as expected.

Now my question: what do I wrong?

Thanks for help.

I'd say it's a bug and should be investigated. Pls contact your HP support.

As a workaround you may enable VSD driver enumeration of non-boot devices.

From EFI shell:
Shell> drvcfg
Configurable Components
Drv[2B] Ctrl[28] Lang[eng]...

Shell> drvcfg -s 2B
HP AVIO Stor Driver Configuration
==================================
Enumerate only boot LUNs (Y/N)? [Y]: N

or from the host:
# echo '\000\0177\c' > binnull
# hpvmnvram -P guest -S 61DFE48B-CA93-D211-AA0D00E098032B8C:EFIVsdScanLevel:binnull
