From manual:

"NOTE: Only HP-UX guests can use AVIO, and the backing store can be only disk or volume.
There is no attached AVIO device support, and guests can be only disk or DVD."

A LVOL cannot be used as AVIO store.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

have you installed the latest AVIO drivers for HP IVM 3.5?An LV was not supported until a certain version/release of th esoftware, you need to check release notes and get the latest drivers from software.hp.com
