Remove a disk from a VM GUEST

[f. halili]

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

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

Hello,

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