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

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: HPUX, 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 (_), and the period (.). To
specify white space, 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 a virtual machine.
NOTE: When assigning a null device to a resource on a
virtual machine, the file name serves as a placeholder.
Therefore, if the file does not exist, you do not receive an
error. For example, in the following command, if the file
XXX.iso does not exist, no error is given.
# hpvmmodify -P vm1 -a
disk:scsi::null:/opt/XXX.iso
The resource is specified as described in hpvmresources(5).
This option can be specified more than once.
-d rsrc
Deletes an I/O resource from a virtual machine. The
resource is specified as described in hpvmresources(5). The
physical device portion of the rsrc is optional.
This option can be specified more than once.
-m rsrc
Modifies an existing I/O resource for a virtual machine.
The resource is specified as described in hpvmresources(5).
You must specify the hardware address of the device to
modify. The physical device portion of the rsrc specifies
a new physical device to replace the one in use. To move
from VIO to AVIO, use the following command:
# hpvmmodify -P guest1 -m hba:avio_stor:0,5
This option can be specified more than once.
The rsrc specifies the mapping of a guest virtual device
to a VM Host backing store. Integrity VM guests access
virtual devices that are instantiated on physical entities
managed by the VM Host. These physical entities (for
