HP vPars and Integrity Virtual Machines V6.1 Administrator Guide

For information about AVIO support, see the HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM V6.1 Release Notes
at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-hpvm-docs.
Prior to running the hpvmmodify command shown previously, devices unsupported by AVIO
need to be moved to a new HBA, using the hpvmmodify delete and add operations.
NOTE: Guest operating systems, applications, or configuration files sensitive to device names
or hardware paths need to be repaired after the move. Because HP-UX 11i v3 supports the agile
device naming model, 11i v3 guest applications using agile device names are not affected as
long as they are configured with disk backing stores.
If the VSP administrator sets up a Virtual FileDVD for the vPar/VM, the virtual console options to
eject and insert are used to select among the ISO files provided in the file directory for the Virtual
FileDVD. The eject command changes the Virtual FileDVD into a Virtual NullDVD device. ISO
files can be added to or removed from the file system directory for the Virtual FileDVD by the VSP
administrator. Once this ISO file directory is updated, use an insert command to view all the
newly available ISO files in the directory and to choose one to be used for a new Virtual FileDVD.
It is not necessary to change the file directory between each eject and insert operation. The guest
administrator can change the ISO files provided in the file directory without any VSP administrator
interaction. For example:
