Hi.

HPVM EFI by default enumerates only boot devices (those listed in boot menu).

To change that you need to use drvcfg in EFI. See HPVM V6.1.5 admin guide chapter 11.12.

I'm not sure whether map -r is sufficient to trigger a rescan. Restart the guest.

Oups, a bit late : use reconnect -r after drvcfg and before map
