1) How did you preset the DVD to the guest ( please provide command line

2) Was there a DVD in the drive when you presented it ?

I would present the DVD device to the guest as a null device then use the vMP of the guest to INsert and EJect dvds.

Hi,

Put the below command output:

# ioscan
# ioscan -fn
# ioscan -fnC disk

[Jerry_109]

1)
root@hohp244[/]
# hpvmmodify -P hovm230 -a dvd:scsi::disk:/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

2)
No dvd mounted inside vmserver ( hohp244 ) b4 presenting? I will place dvd in
dvd drive first, and then present to vmguest

Question: after I load dvd on "vmserver dvd" do I have to delete, and re-add dvd on vmguest?
or do I just stop/start vmguest ?

[Tim Nelson]

just an ioscan to rescan the bus

insf -eH 0.0.0 to install the device files.

beware that presenting the dvd as a disk device will require that you remove it from the guest before you can eject the DVD again.

As mentioned a null device might work better for you.
hpvmmodify -P guest1 -a dvd:scsi::null:/dev/rdsk/cxtxdx

then virtual MP
>VM
>IN or EJ

the ioscan on vmguest ( hovm230 ) can see the dvd now:
