So a fairly obvious start would be to see if the disks it mentions are online/available?

ioscan -P health /dev/rdisk/disk310

ioscan -P health /dev/rdisk/disk229

odd...

try:

lssf  /dev/rdisk/disk310 /dev/rdisk/disk229

and:

scsimgr get_info -D  /dev/rdisk/disk310
scsimgr get_info -D  /dev/rdisk/disk229

Hi Ducan,

Thanks for your support. 

Server up and running, after executed

hpvmmodify -P RUECCQAS -d disk:avio_stor::disk:/dev/rdisk/disk310
