Remove a disk from a VM GUEST

Hello,

I would like to remove a disk from a VM GUEST via hpvmmodify. The thing is the disk is gone is no longer seen by the VMGUEST. The disk has been pulled out from the VM HOST but running hpvmstatus -P hostname_guest still shows it is presented to the vmguest.

# hpvmmodify -P hostname_guest -d disk:scsi::disk:/tmp/rdsk/c8t2d4
hpvmmodify: Unable to find device disk:scsi::disk:/tmp/rdsk/c8t2d4.
hpvmmodify: Unable to modify the guest.

Thanks,
f. halili

Re: Remove a disk from a VM GUEST

well firstly a disk should not have a device file such as /tmp/rdsk/cxtydz
It should be /dev/rdsk
Second, was the VM up and running, or did you try turnign it off and then running the command
My house is the bank's, my money the wife's, But my opinions belong to me, not HP!

Hello,

I never saw I using "tmp" instead of "dev". Thanks. Worked well now.
