============================================================================
For information about how to change the enumeration policy, see the HP-UX vPars and Integrity
VM V6.1 Administrator Guide.
Changing the policy to enumerate all AVIO storage devices might result in longer guest boot times
(to the EFI level), depending on the guest's configuration.
If you need to boot from a tape device attached to an NPIV (such as performing tape-based Ignite-UX
recovery), change the enumeration policy to "Enumerate all FC LUNs". As mentioned previously,
enumerating all FC LUNs can result in a long guest boot time. To minimize this delay, you can
temporarily reduce the number of NPIV HBAs for the VM to only the one containing the tape boot
device.
3.1.21 Probe of NPIV HBAs for Fibre Channel Targets Might Timeout
During online migration, the target VSP probes any NPIV HBAs for Fibre Channel (FC) targets. If
this probe takes close to 30 seconds (or longer), online migration times out and aborts. The
hpvmmigrate command prints an error:
# hpvmmigrate -P guest -h host2 -o
...
hpvmmigrate: Frozen phase (step 23) - progress 21%
Target: (protocol low) header read timeout, 30 seconds
Target: could not receive message header
On the target VSP machine, the syslog will contain the following warning message:
vmunix: HVSD: HPVM online migration warning: NPIV probe took too long, 79 seconds
To solve this problem, use the following workaround:
1. Verify that the probe time of each individual FC HBA is under 10 seconds.
2. On the target VSP, run the ioscan command to measure how long each FC HBA takes to
probe. The ms_scan_time column gives the probe time.
