Problem loading 11.31 OS on 11.23 VM guest via ignite ?

[Jerry_109]

Hello All,

I have a rx6600 11.23 VM server. I created a guest ( hovm230 ) with (1) disk (c2t0d1)assigned. When I utilized ignite to load 11.23 OS, it scans the i/o and finds the disk,
and loads the 11.23 OS just fine,

but when I select the 11.31 OS via ignite, it is unable to locate the disk ? What am I doing wrong?. Do I have to define the local DVD , and load 11.31 onto the "vm guest" via the DVD ?

[Torsten. · Accepted solution]

This is the same virtual machine, right?

What HPVM version are you using? Version 2 does not support 11.31 guests.

[Jerry_109]

Yes, it's the same VM machine.

[Rita C Workman]

Look again at your VM.

Am I missing something. It shows 1 lan;8G mem;4 CPU. But 0 for disk.

Did you add disk to your VM to accomodate loading an O/S?

I'm new to this VM world, but once I added more disk to my VM and retried to install the O/S it had enough and took off fine using the DVD loading 11.31 EOE guest (Host server 11.23 iA64)

Just a thought,
Rgrds,
Rita

[Geoff Wild]

Where is your disk?

Is it compatible with 11.31?

Example EMC CX without current firmware doesn't support 11.31.

The only issue we had with igniting vm's was that lan isn't a boot option by default...so you have to add it manually...

Hello All,

Sorry for taking so long, but I have been having problems accessing the IT resource center.

Hello All,

I'm going to attempt to configure the DVD for VM-guest ( hovm230 ), and see if I can load the 11.31 OS from CD. If this works, it points to Ignite. Keep you posted.

[Geoff Wild]

Tip for DVD's:

Create ISO images of hpux install media if needed:


Disk 1:
dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 of=/var/opt/hpvm/ISO-images/hpux/HPUX11iv3Sep07-OE-Ent-D1.iso bs=64k


Disk 2 (after removing disk 1 and mounting disk2):

dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 of=/var/opt/hpvm/ISO-images/hpux/HPUX11iv3Sep07-OE-Ent-D2.iso bs=64k




Add User-specified directory of ISO images:


hpvmmodify -P pcvm0105 -F -a dvd:scsi::file:/var/opt/hpvm/ISO-images/hpux/HPUX11i-OE-Ent-D1.iso



Add local storage:

hpvmmodify -P pcvm0105 -F -a disk:scsi::lv:/dev/vgpcvm0105/rlvdisk1


Go to the console:

hpvmconsole -P pcvm0105 -fi

Go to "Boot option maintenance menu"

Do a "Cold Reset"



Let system boot - it should find the install media.

When it prompts for disk 2, on the vm host:

hpvmmodify -P pcvm0105 -m dvd:scsi:0,1,1:file:/var/opt/hpvm/ISO-images/hpux/HPUX11i-OE-Ent-D2.iso

NOTE: To get the Hardware address (0,1,1) run a hpvmstatus -P VMGUESTNAME -d

# hpvmstatus -P pcvm0104 -d

Thanks for the instructions. I'm curently coping the 11.31 OS CD's to /var. It's takes a long time. I'm still on the 1st CD.

Hello All,

I'm not sure how to attempt to boot directly from DVD? From my "EFI Boot Maintenance Manager" What are the following volumes? I reconize :

This is the mac for my lan card, but the others I'm not sure. I know for pa-risc I could "search IPL" to locate a bootable device, but not sure for ia64.

Boot:IINSTALL?

You shouldn't have to do that...

After assigning the DVD and storage...go to the vm guest console..

Go to "Boot option maintenance menu"

Do a "Cold Reset"

Let system boot - it should find the install media by itself.



Rgds...Geoff

[Jerry_109]

yes, Geoff, I did a cold reset. I will try it again, and send you the output. How do you tell if your iso file is good ?

When i execute the "hpvmstatus -P hovm230 -V" , and it shows :
version label & version number as 1.20 is this correct?

Do you have the latest firmware installed on that rx6600?

If not - then I think you need it.

I would place a call with HP if I were you.

Hello All,

I just wanted to follow-up, and let you know we reloaded the 11.23OS with Dec.07, and all works fine. The 11.31 vmguest are fine. I believe there were some VM sets missing. Thanks for all your help........ :>)
