HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration Version A.03.50

# hpvmdevmgmt -m gdev:/var/opt/hpvm/ISO-images/hpux/:attr:SHARE=YES
For more information about using the hpvmdevmgmt command, see Section 9.8 (page 138).
Virtual NullDVDs require no additional management beyond that required for the Virtual DVD
(see Section 7.2.2.3.4 (page 97)) or Virtual FileDVD (see Section 7.2.2.3.5 (page 98)) types they
become.
7.2.2.3.7 Attachable Devices
Integrity VM allows you to attach physical VM Host backup device types to virtual machines.
The VM Host backup device types are tapes, media changers, and CD/DVD burners. These
devices are specified on the VM Host using HP-UX sctl device files.
The guest OS running on the virtual machine has full control over an attached physical device.
Therefore, the guest OS must support the device being attached. See the device's product
documentation for a list of supported guest OS drivers.
The resource statements for attached devices take the following forms depending upon device
type:
• For magnetic tape, use:
tape:scsi::attach:/dev/rscsi/cXtYdZ
• For media changers, use:
changer:scsi::attach:/dev/rscsi/cXtYdZ
• For CD/DVD burners, use:
burner:scsi::attach:/dev/rscsi/cXtYdZ
Where /dev/rscsi/cXtYdZ is an HP-UX sctl device file to the device type specified.
To create an HP-UX sctl device file, follow these steps:
1. Run ioscan to pick up any new devices that may have just been connected:
# ioscan
2. Locate the device designated for attachment.
2a. Install any device special files for these new devices:
# insf -e
2b. Check to see if the new devices were claimed by VM Host:
# ioscan -fun
The following is an example of a claimed tape device:
tape 1 0/2/1/0.5.0 stape CLAIMED DEVICE HP C7438A
/dev/rmt/1m /dev/rmt/c6t5d0BESTn
/dev/rmt/1mb /dev/rmt/c6t5d0BESTnb
/dev/rmt/1mn /dev/rmt/c6t5d0DDS
/dev/rmt/1mnb /dev/rmt/c6t5d0DDSb
/dev/rmt/c6t5d0BEST /dev/rmt/c6t5d0DDSn
/dev/rmt/c6t5d0BESTb /dev/rmt/c6t5d0DDSnb
If the device is not seen in ioscan -fun, proceed to step 2c. Otherwise, go to step 3.
2c. If the device is not claimed, make sure the device is at least seen:
# ioscan -fk
The following is an example of an unclaimed media changer device:
