HP Integrity Virtual Machines Version 4.2 Release Notes

3. Edit the elilo configuration file, /boot/efi/SuSE/elilo.conf, and the fstab file, /mnt/

etc/fstab, to update all entries of the guest boot disk SCSI WWID with the cloned guest

boot disk's SCSI WWID.

NOTE: The cloned guest's boot disk SCSI WWID can be copied from the /dev/disk/

by-id/ device names. For example, the cloned guest boot disk device names are as follows:

Rescue:~ # ls -l /dev/disk/by-id

total 0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 5 17:08 scsi-0HP_Virtual_FileDVD_isoLinuxSLES10-SP2SLES-10-SP2-

DVD-i -> ../../sr0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 5 17:08 scsi-3600508b4001049440001200002f20000 -> ../../sda

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 5 17:08 scsi-3600508b4001049440001200002f20000-part1 -> ../../sda1

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 5 17:08 scsi-3600508b4001049440001200002f20000-part2 -> ../../sda2

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 5 17:08 scsi-3600508b4001049440001200002f20000-part3 -> ../../sda3

4. In /boot/efi/SuSE/elilo.conf, there are two root device entries with the original

quest's boot disk SCSI WWID:

root = /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600508b4001049440000d000026c0000-part3

Replace these entries with the cloned boot disk's SCSI WWID:

root = /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600508b4001049440001200002f20000-part3

5. In /mnt/etc/fstab, there are three entries (for /, /boot/efi, and swap devices) with the

original guest's boot disk SCSI WWID:

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600508b4001049440000d000026c0000-part3 / reiserfs

acl,user_xattr 1 1

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600508b4001049440000d000026c0000-part1 /boot/efi vfat

defaults 0 0

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600508b4001049440000d000026c0000-part2 swap

defaults 0 0

Replace these entries with the cloned boot disk's SCSI WWID:

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600508b4001049440001200002f20000-part3 / reiserfs

acl,user_xattr 1 1

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600508b4001049440001200002f20000-part1 /boot/efi vfat

defaults 0 0

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-3600508b4001049440001200002f20000-part2 swap swap

defaults 0 0

6. Reboot the guest:

Rescue:/# reboot

4.3.2.3 TC INIT Dump Messages Fail to Appear in SUSE Linux Guest Consoles Running Multi CPUs

The hpvmconsole TC command causes INIT dump messages to be displayed in the guest

console. These messages appear with the one-way SUSE Linux guest; however, they fail to appear

with SUSE Linux guests with multi-CPUs. The INIT dump is logged into the hpvm_mon_log

file.

To resolve this problem, restart the guest after the hpvmconsole TC command is issued.

4.3.2.4 SLES10 SP2 Guests Supported on Integrity Servers

SLES10 SP2 guests are supported on all Integrity servers except the following:

• HP Integrity rx1600 server

• HP Integrity rx2600 server

• HP Integrity rx5600 server
