I am able to present a vdisk from the SAN to the VM Host server and then present it as a scsi disk to the Integrity Guest. I am able to boot from the .iso image of the Guest O/S, but for some reason it cannot install the O/S to the SAM vdisk:
Here is the output of the installation:

The configuration process has incurred an error, would you like
to push a shell for debugging purposes? (y/[n]): ^Cconfigure: Detecte

Do you really wish to stop the installation? (y/[n]):
Any Ideas??
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Integrty Virtual Machine - Cannot Install HP-UX v3 for the Guest onto a Vdisk on a SAN
Could you post the "hpvmstatus -P your_guest_ivm"?
Try to remove the disk from the guest and create a filesystem on the disk, or try to use the pvcreate command to write the lvm info to the disk.

Robert-Jan

Solutionâ ¢ On EVA 4000/6000/8000, all released firmware revisions support Active-Active configuration.
Therefore, no action is necessary on these arrays.
â ¢ EVA 3000/5000 arrays need minimum firmware revisions of VCS v4.004 (Active-Active
firmware).
For more information about EVA firmware upgrades, see the HP Services EVA upgrade website:
http://hpswest.corp.hp.com/VCSUpgradeProgram.asp
I believe you have firmware version 3.028 on your EVA.

Re: Integrty Virtual Machine - Cannot Install HP-UX v3 for the Guest onto a Vdisk on a SAN
But let me just get this straight. Does this rule apply to only AVIO Storage Driver or does it also apply to the emulated SCSI?
Thanks

Re: Integrty Virtual Machine - Cannot Install HP-UX v3 for the Guest onto a Vdisk on a SAN
Cresswell,
This isn't an HPVM issue - it's an 11iv3 issue...
HP-UX11iv3 isn't supported with an EVA on the old VCS3.x firmware - the active/passive firmware can't be handled by the new storage stack. Use a different disk array or upgrade the disk array to VCS 4.x
You *might* be able to persuade it to work by using the old legacy DSF (/dev/rdsk rather than /dev/rdisk) if you identify which legacy DSF goes to the active controller and if you diable legacy MPIO on that DSF...
What I would do would be to identify the owning controller and then zone out the non-owning controller so the host can't see that, then set things up as follows:
so for example you would run:
scsimgr set_attr -a leg_mpath_enable=0 -D /dev/disk/disk3
scsimgr save_attr -a leg_mpath_enable=0 -D /dev/disk/disk3
Then you would use the legacy path to that device (/dev/rdsk/cXtYdZ)
So you would get no MPIO or path failover, but you would be able to at least try out HPVM...
Unsupported obviously...
