To modify an existing AVIO storage backing store, specify the following:
host# hpvmmodify -P guest1 -m disk:avio_stor:0,5,0:disk/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0
To modify an existing SCSI storage device to be an AVIO storage device, specify the following:
host# hpvmmodify -P guest1 -m hba:avio_stor:0,5
NOTE: Only HP-UX guests can use AVIO, and the backing store can be only disk or volume.
There is no attached AVIO device support, and guests can be only disk or DVD.
This command string modifies an existing SCSI device adapter with some number of device
targets to use the AVIO device adapter. The command has the following restrictions:
• Each of the backing store devices under the SCSI HBA must be supported AVIO devices
and adhere to storage type limitations.
• All targets to be converted must list the same device adapter type.
• The command can be executed only on a guest that is stopped.
• Multiple adapter entries can be placed on the same command line, for example:
hpvmmodify -P guest1 -m hba:avio_stor:0,5 -m hba:avio_stor:0,6
The modification can also be reversed going backward to the original SCSI adapter:
hpvmmodify -P guest1 -m hba:scsi:0,5
The following example shows how to convert scsi to avio_stor:
# hpvmstatus -P guest1 -d

Devices unsupported by AVIO need to be moved to a new HBA, using hpvmmodify delete and
add operations, prior to running the hpvmmodify command shown previously.
NOTE: Moving devices to a new HBA causes the device special file names and the hardware
paths of the moved devices to change. Applications or configuration files sensitive to device
special names or hardware paths need to be repaired after the move.
If the VM Host administrator sets up a Virtual FileDVD for the virtual machine, the virtual
console options to eject and insert are used to select among the ISO files provided in the file
