hpvmstart: Successful start initiation of guest 'host1'
The virtual machine host1 is started. Now the guest operating system must be installed.
NOTE: You might receive the following note-level message in the /var/opt/hpvm/common/
command.log file under certain circumstances:
mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss|NOTE|host|root|Unable to open file '/dev/rdisk/diskxxx' - Device busy.
This note might be logged if:
• A guest is configured with an attached scsi burner:
resource: -a burner:scsi:[b,d,t]:attach:pass-through-device-path
• The guest is then booted to EFI.
• Then the hpvmmodify command is run to add a device or remove a device other than the
burner.
You may safely ignore this message.
For information about creating HP-UX guests, see Chapter 4.
3.6 Cloning Virtual Machines
Once you have created a guest, you can quickly and easily create additional guests by using the
hpvmclone command. Like the hpvmcreate, hpvmmigrate, and hpvmmodify commands,
the hpvmclone command accepts the command options listed in Table 3-2 (page 48) for
specifying virtual devices, network interfaces, and other virtual machine characteristics. This
allows you to create new guests with similar characteristics but different virtual resources.
Table 3-8 describes the options you can use with the hpvmclone command.
Table 3-8 Options to the hpvmclone Command
DescriptionOption
Specifies the name of the existing virtual machine to be cloned. You must
specify either the -P option or the -p option.
-P vm-name
Specifies the number of the existing virtual machine to be cloned. You must
specify either the -P option or the -p option.
-p vm-number
