Shalom,

Well the library is missing or the DEPOT install is corrupt.

swverify the relavent depots and prepare to swremove and swinstall anew.

The error indicates that the IVM is not installed successfully.

The usual product list for IVM is

1. VMProvider (if installed)

2. T2767AC

3. VMGuestLib

4. VMKernelSW

Check if you have these products installed on the server using swlist and check the installed 'state' as well.

Found the file in these locs:

I am just wondering if you got the server rebooted after IVM installation?
If not reboot it.

I would expect the file to be located or installed under /opt/hpvm/lib/hpux{32/64} if the installation is correct.

[MJJ_2]

Hmmm . . . not sure on the reboot . . . inherited the system. Until the reboot, I am thinking I can copy one of the 64 bit files into the appropriate directories. However, the two 64bit library files are not the same size. Thoughts?

[Sameer_Nirmal]

I would first check the installed files of the vmGuestLib product as well as other products using swlist -l file command. That way you would know where the products got installed. Check the install log under /opt/hpvm or in /var/opt/hpvm

Do you see the product files under /var/opt/hpvm and /opt/hpvm and only this lib file missing ?

You can try copying the lib files from the /var/spool. However the question of the IVM product instalaltion consistency remains.

[MJJ_2]

Until I can get the system during a maintenance window, I'm not going to try copying any files arount. There is already a Guest host on the system and it is running fine. The command 'hpvminfo' is the only command (so far) that spewed "no-joy".

I agree, the install is suspect, but I also don't know if the system was rebooted after the virtual packages were installed. From looking around, it seems like the vmGuest package is installed - but not completely.
