HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2: Installation, Configuration, and Administration

version on a running system, the software is started
automatically. The VM Host attempts to start all virtual
machines for which the attribute is set to auto. If
insufficient resources exist, some virtual machines might
fail to start.
If the attribute is set to manual, the virtual machine does
not start automatically when Integrity VM is initialized on
the VM Host. This is the default. The virtual machine can
then be started manually with the hpvmstart command
or through its virtual console.
This option does not set the virtual machine's console to
enable booting when the virtual machine is started. This
function must be set with the virtual machine's console.
-O os_type[:version]
Specifies the type and version of the operating system
running on the virtual machine. The response affects the
default selection of certain virtual machine attributes, such
as amount of memory and CPU power. The os_type is one
of the following: HP-UX, WINDOWS, or LINUX. This
parameter is not case sensitive. The version is specific to
the operating system type.
The version specifies a descriptive text string of the version
of the operating system. The version string can consist of
up to 256 alphanumeric characters, including A-Z, a-z, 0-9,
the dash (—), the underscore r (_), and the period (.). To
specify white space, then “version” must be quoted.
NOTE: You can specify the os_type here manually, but
when the guest boots, the os_type is set to whatever
operating system was last booted. The operating system
version is only set manually with the -O option.
-a rsrc
Adds an I/O resource to the new virtual machine. The
resource specification (rsrc) is described in
hpvmresources(5).
This option can be specified more than once.
-d rsrc
Deletes an I/O resource from the new virtual machine. The
resource specification (rsrc) is described in
hpvmresources(5).
This option can be specified more than once.
-m rsrc
Modifies an I/O resource on the cloned virtual machine.
This option can be specified more than once.
Integrity VM recognizes the following types of guest virtual
devices:
• Virtual disks, which can be backed by files in a VM
Host file system, by logical volumes or by whole disks.
• Virtual DVDs, which can be backed by files in a VM
Host file system or by the physical DVD drive.
• Virtual network switches (vswitches), which are
created using the hpmvnet command and backed by
