3 Creating Virtual Machines This chapter contains notes about creating and configuring virtual machines on the VM Host system. 3.1 Changes and Issues in this Release There are no new virtual machine creation or configuration issues in the V4.2.5 release. 3.2 Known Issues and Information The following sections describe known issues and information from previous releases that still apply to V4.2.5. 3.2.1 Failed API Access to Local Running Guest A Failed API access to local running guest. message in the command.log is a notification that a communication attempt with the hpvmapp process has failed. This message is not an indication of a problem and can be ignored. 3.2.2 Cell Local Memory on Cellular Hosts Integrity Virtual Machine now supports the use of Cell Local Memory on cellular hosts. In general, you should see performance improvement by using cell local memory when running on cell-based systems. If you encounter performance issues with this feature, you should revert back to using 100% interleaved memory on the host. 3.2.3 Pass-Through Devices Used by Guest Devices Might Not be Valid After Recovery Using Ignite After performing a recovery of the host using Ignite, pass-through devices found in /dev/pt/* might be invalid, which in turn might prevent guests from recognizing tape or disk devices. Symptoms of this problem might include error messages like the following in the guest log file (/var/opt/hpvm/guests/guest image/log): UsrMapScsiDevice: Opened failed on /dev/pt/pt_tape1: No such device or address You might receive messages in /var/opt/hpvm/common/command.log file, like the following: mksf: Couldn't find driver matching arguments hpvmdevmgmt: ERROR (host): system() failed on command '/usr/sbin/mksf -P -C disk -I 44 2>&1 >/dev/null' - No such file or directory. These messages can be caused by pass-through files being stale and in need of re-creation, pass-through files pointing to devices that no longer correspond to devices that their names suggest, or device special file names (DSFs) for devices that no longer exist for which hpvmdevmgmt -I attempts to create pass-through devices. To correct /dev/pt/* files that might be stale or which might point to the wrong device, do the following on the VM Host to re-create them: # rm /dev/pt/* # rm /var/opt/hpvm/common/hpvm_devinit # hpvmdevmgmt -I To correct failed attempts by hpvmdevmgmt -I to create pass-through devices for devices that no longer exist, use lssf to verify the validity of devices that no longer appear to exist: # lssf -s Verify that your guests are not configured to use those DSFs, and then remove them using rmsf: # rmsf -x 3.1 Changes and Issues in this Release 37
