HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2: Installation, Configuration, and Administration

Warning 4: Insufficient cpu resource for guest.

Warning 5 on item /dev/rdisk/disk0: Device file '/dev/rdsk/disk0' in use by another guest.

Warning 6 on item /dev/vg00/rswap: Device file '/dev/vg00/rswap' in use by server.

Warning 7 on item /dev/rdisk/disk3 backing device does not exist.

Warning 8 on item /dev/rdisk/disk4: Device file '/dev/rdisk/disk4' in use by another guest.

Warning 9 on item hostnet: MAC address in use for switch hostnet.

Warning 10 on item offnet: Vswitch offnet is not active.

Warning 11 on item badnet: 'badnet' backing device does not exist.

These problems will prevent HPVM guest host5 from booting.

The following example shows how to use the hpvmclone command to create a guest named

vmclone1 that uses the same ports as the existing guest (vm1). The hpvmnet command shows

that two guests are sharing ports 1 and 2 on the virtual switch vmlan4. Only the active virtual

machine (vm1) can use the port.

# hpvmclone -P vm1 -N vmclone1 -S

# hpvmnet -S vmlan4

The following example shows how to use the hpvmclone command to create a new Linux guest

named linux2 based on the existing guest named linux1. The boot disk is specified.

# hpvmclone -P linux1 -N linux2 -b disk:scsi::0,0,0:disk:/dev/rdisk/disk100

Be sure that the backing devices are the same, The copy of data succeeds but the new virtual

machine fails to boot if the backing devices are different. For example, if the source virtual

machine boots from an lvol, and you boot the cloned virtual machine from a disk, it fails.
