VM Guest Disk Problem

[Mahesh Babbar]

Hi I have created a VG guest using a lv /dev/vg00/lvol9 with name vm1
1) now i removed the vm using hpvmremove command and created a new vm using the same disk /dev/vg00/lvol9

but i am facing problem while booting. the vm guest i not booting(restarting)

Shall i get any help for this Problem?

How can i migrate a Vm guest from one host to another which is not having any SAN diks

Use the hpvmmigrate command,
man hpvmmigrate

hpvmmigrate is only migrating configurations
not OS disks

so your question is not that clear.
Reading it again, am I to understand you have removed a VM that had /dev/vg00/lvol9 assigned to it? And you now wish to use the same LV for a new VM on the same VM Host?
If so then you just create the VM and add in the storage, but note you need to use the RAW device: /dev/vg00/rlvol9
If it is not working, some error messages may be of use, as well as an hpvmstatus output of that VM.

Hi Thanks for your information

I had added the lvol to a new machine.after that i had changed the kernal boot path
from -lm mode by vgexport/vgimport/lvlnboot

now the issue is solved
