HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.3: Installation, Configuration, Administration

By default, Integrity VM creates a vswitch named localnet that is not associated with a physical
interface. It is used only for communication between the guests running on the same VM Host;
the VM Host itself does not participate in a localnet. There is no nameserver or router
configured on a localnet, unless one of the guests performs this function.
Only superusers can execute the hpvmnet command.
Two classes of virtual network interface are supported in Integrity VM: lan and avio_lan. The
lan interface is supported on all underlying HP-UX network interface cards. The avio_lan
interface is supported on selected HP-UX network interface cards and provides accelerated
performance. For examples of using the lan and avio_lan keywords, see hpvmcreate and
hpvmmodify.
Options
The following options can be specified only once.
The hpvmnet command without options displays summary information about all vswitches
configured on the VM host.
The hpvmnet command recognizes the following command-line options and arguments:
-S vswitch-name
Specifies the unique name of the virtual switch. The name
of the vswitch is limited to eight characters.
The -S and -s options are mutually exclusive.
-s vswitch-number
Specifies the unique number of the virtual switch. The
vswitch number is reported using the hpvmnet command.
The -S and -s options are mutually exclusive.
-v Displays the version number of the hpvmnet output
format. The version number is displayed first, followed by
the display specified by the other options. In addition, it
also displays VLAN information.
-V
Displays information about vswitches in verbose mode. If
you specify the vswitch using either the -S or -s options,
network counters are included in the display. Network
counters are cleared each time statistics are reported; the
display reports the counts since the previous display. Use
the -S or -s option to specify the vswitch for which to
display network counters.
The -V, -M , and -X options are mutually exclusive.
-A Displays statistics for the avio_lan virtual network
interfaces in the following format:
Vswitch Name : hostnet

Port Number : 3
