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

-E cycles[:max_cycles]
Specifies the virtual machine's CPU entitlement in CPU
cycles.
The cycles are expressed as an integer, followed by one of
these units:
• M (megahertz)
• G (gigahertz)
If no letter is specified, the default unit is megahertz.
The -e and -E options are mutually exclusive.
-F
Suppresses all resource conflict checks and associated
warning messages (force mode). This option is primarily
intended for use by scripts and other noninteractive
applications. Note that you will receive no notification of
potential resource problems for a virtual machine created
with the -F option.
The -F and -s options are mutually exclusive.
-a
Specifies the mapping of a guest virtual device to a VM
Host backing store. A virtual device is instantiated on
physical entities that are managed by the VM Host. These
physical entities (for example, network cards, files, logical
volumes, and so forth) are collectively referred to as
"backing stores."
Integrity VM recognizes the following types of guest virtual
devices:
• Virtual DVDs, which can be backed by files in a VM
Host file system or by physical DVD drives.
• Virtual disks, which can be backed by files in a VM
Host file system, by logical volumes or by whole disks.
• Attached I/O devices (DVD, tape, changer, and other
peripheral device types).
• Attached AVIO devices (tape, changer, and burner).
• Virtual network devices, which are created using the
hpvmnet command and backed by physical LAN
cards. See the hpvmnet manpage for more information
about virtual network devices.
For information about specifying storage and network
resources for guests, see hpvmresources(5).
-i package-name
Specifies whether the virtual machine is managed by
Serviceguard or gWLM (or both). For the argument, specify
the Serviceguard package name, GWLM, both, or NONE.
This option is used by Integrity VM software; do not use
this option without express instruction by HP.
-j {0|1}
Specifies whether the virtual machine is a distributed guest
(that is, managed by Serviceguard and can be failed over
to another cluster member). This option is used by Integrity
VM software; do not use this option without express
instruction by HP.
-l vm-label
Specifies a descriptive label for this virtual machine. This
can be useful in identifying a specific virtual machine in
the hpvmstatus -V display. The label can contain up to
236
