2. Halt the guest to change the configuration.
3. Run hpvmmodify to delete the 20 AVIO LUNs from the current configuration:
# hpvmmodify -P guest -d disk:avio_stor:1,3,0:disk:/dev/rdisk/disk6199
# hpvmmodify -P guest -d disk:avio_stor:1,4,0:disk:/dev/rdisk/disk6520
...
# hpvmmodify -P guest -d disk:avio_stor:7,3,6:disk:/dev/rdisk/disk6201
# hpvmmodify -P guest -d disk:avio_stor:7,4,6:disk:/dev/rdisk/disk6413
4. Run hpvmmodify to recreate the 20 AVIO LUNs under a single AVIO HBA:
# hpvmmodify -P guest -a disk:avio_stor:2,0,0:disk:/dev/rdisk/disk6199
# hpvmmodify -P guest -a disk:avio_stor:2,0,1:disk:/dev/rdisk/disk6520
...
# hpvmmodify -P guest -a disk:avio_stor:2,0,18:disk:/dev/rdisk/disk6201
# hpvmmodify -P guest -a disk:avio_stor:2,0,19:disk:/dev/rdisk/disk6413
5. Restart the guest. Notice that 20 AVIO LUNs are now under 1AVIO HBA.

8.1.3 Leftover NPIV Entries in Database
If you plan to remove the Integrity VM v4.3 January 2012 patch release and you have guests
configured with NPIV HBAs, you must first use the hpvmmodify -d command to delete all NPIV
HBAs from your guests. NPIV HBAs are not supported on Integrity VM v4.3 prior to the January
2012 patch release.
8.2 Changes and Issues in This Release
The following sections provide storage issues in the V4.3 release.
8.2.1 Changes to the Default EFI AVIO Storage Driver Enumeration Policy
Prior to HP Integrity Virtual Machines V4.3, the default policy of the EFI AVIO storage driver was
to enumerate and configure all AVIO storage devices defined in a guest's configuration. This would
make all AVIO storage devices visible to EFI. With V4.3 (and later), the default enumeration policy
is to enumerate and configure only those AVIO storage devices that are present as EFI boot options.
The enumeration policy is also differentiated by storage type: SCSI (non-NPIV) LUNs, and FC (NPIV)
LUNs.
