Restoring from Ignite image from Ignite server to IVMs

[Suresh Babu G]

Hi Experts,

we are already having a VM (vm1) with vmswith (BFW) and we have created another VM (vm2) using the hpvmcreate with the same vmswitch as below

hpvmcreate -P vm2 -O hpux -c 2 -r 16G -a disk:scsi::disk:/dev/rdsk/c3t2d0 -a network:lan::vswitch:BFW

# hpvmnet
Name Number State Mode NamePPA MAC Address IPv4 Address
======== ====== ======= ========= ======== ============== ===============
localnet 1 Up Shared N/A N/A
clan0 2 Up Shared N/A N/A
BFW 3 Up Shared lan35 0x001e0bfd21a6 10.2.5.94

now i have a question

we have used the same vswitch (BFW) to 2nd VM, and while booting from "lanboot select" i am getting the below error

Shell> lanboot select
01 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1|0)/Mac(86BBE381A11E)
Select Desired LAN: 01
Selected Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1|0)/Mac(86BBE381A11E)

Hi,
from the EFI shell you need to create the dbprofile. SO that you can boot from the ignite server.
Shell> dbprofile -dn -s -i -g -m -b


shell>lanboot select -dn

Thanks,
Shanmugam.

I have rectified the problem and i am able to go the the installation screen but in the installation screen it give the attached below error

Error

The currently selected configuration does not contain any
environments. You may want to select another configuration.

Bonjour

All is in the error message : "The currently selected configuration does not contain any environments."

Did you realized one of this 2 things : create an ignite image of an existing VM from which to install the new VM, or create a software depot and integrate it in the ignite server configuration ? I guess that you did nothing of that kind ...

So, you should :
