setup virtualisation

[Torsten.]

If you only want to test, you can create another LVOL in vg00 and use this as a virtual disk for the guest.

Otherwise use a new disk.

Remember to adjust your vswitch!!

Hint:

If you create an ISO image of your install media and use this as a virtual DVD, you'll be much (!) faster.

I create a new logical volum "win"
and i retry the installation :


Warning 1 on item /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0: '/dev/rdsk/c3t2d0' backing device does not exist.
Warning 2 on item /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0: '/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0' backing device does not exist.
Warning 3 on item /dev/rdsk/c4t0d1: '/dev/rdsk/c4t0d1' backing device does not exist.
Warning 4 on item switch1: Vswitch 'switch1' does not exist.
These problems may prevent HPVM guest win1 from starting.
hpvmstart: Unable to continue.

the same error.

[Torsten.]

>> I create a new logical volum "win"

Did you somewhere assign this LVOL yet?

Delete the win1 definition and start over - too much wrong entries are already there!

[Torsten.]

BTW, did you already read the manual?

You should do this!

[mulder20]

I create in VG00 logical volum win
i didn't assigned to VM guest ,
So us you suggest me :

i delele VM win and i want to create a new one with this command :
hpvmcreate -P win -c1 -r1G \
-a disk:scsi::lv:/dev/vg00/win\
-a dvd:scsi:0,0,1:null:/dev


please is there any think missing here
Thank you very much for your help,

[Torsten.]

Looks better, but how about the vswitch?

[mulder20]

I try this command but they didn't recognize argument

Where does the VG01 came from?

Do you have another disk now?

hpvmcreate -P win -c 1 -r 1G -O windows \

> -a network:lan::vswitch:localnet \
> -a disk:scsi::lv:/dev/vg01/rlv022\

Check hpvmnet for clan1 - is it still present / powered up?

and i change disk to /dev/vg00/win (was created before)

hpvmcreate -P win -c 1 -r 1G \
-a network:lan::vswitch:lan0 \
-a network:lan:0,1:vswitch:localnet \

Make sure "win" does not exist yet.


# hpvmcreate -P win -c 1 -r 1G -O windows \

Did you already insert the DVD???

Put the disc into the drive and do from vMP

"IN" to insert the disc.

Note: you need a supported windows version (see manual)!

then do

Shell> reconnect -r
Shell> map -r

to find a valid device (e.g. fs0: )

You are welcome!



Did you use the "insert" command?

Thanks,

No interesting info?

This is known as a "headless windows installation", because you don't have any graphical interface. You need to use a channel on the special administration console (SAC) - search the web for "headless windows 2003 installation".

[mulder20]

on the special administration console (SAC)

i should get product ID
and enter windows key , but i didn't get this message from SAC

Thanks
