• migrate_init_phase_timeout={number of seconds}
• migrate_io_quiesce_phase_timeout={number of seconds}

-x keyword=parameter
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.
NOTE: The -F option is deprecated in Integrity VM commands; this option
should be used only at the direction of HP Support.
-F
Verifies the virtual machine configuration and returns warnings or errors,
but does not create the virtual machine.
This option is used to invoke the hpvmcreate command's resource checking
for a virtual machine configuration without actually creating the virtual
machine. If the -s option is not specified, the virtual machine is created even
if resource warnings occur.
-s
Group with administrator or operator privileges over the virtual machine.
Enter the group name for group, and enter either admin or oper.
-g group[:admin | oper]
User with administrator or operator privileges over the virtual machine.
Enter the user name for user, and enter either admin or oper.
-u user[:admin | oper]
Specifies whether the virtual machine is managed by Serviceguard or gWLM
(or both). For the argument, specify one or more of the following parameters:
• SG indicates that the VM Host is a Serviceguard cluster node.
• SG-pkgname indicates that the VM Host is a Serviceguard package.
• GWLM indicates that the VM Host is managed by gWLM.
• NONE indicates there are no external managers.
For a node that is managed by both Serviceguard and gWLM, parameters
are separated with a comma. For example: SG_host1,gWLM.
CAUTION: This option is used by Integrity VM software; do not use this
option without express instruction by HP.
-i package-name
Specified whether the virtual machine is a distributed guest (that is, managed
by Serviceguard and can be failed over to another cluster member).
-j {0 | 1}
