HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.3: Installation, Configuration, Administration

Table 3-7 Options to the hpvmmodify Command (continued)
DescriptionOption
Specifies a new name for the virtual machine. The name can consist of up to
256 alphanumeric characters including A-Z, a-z, 0-9, the dash (-), the
underscore character (_), and the period (.). The virtual machine name cannot
start with a dash (—).
-N new-vm-name
Modifies the descriptive label for this virtual machine. The label can contain
up to 256 alphanumeric characters, including A-Z, a-z, 0-9, the dash (—), the
underscore (_), and the period (.). To include spaces, the label must be quoted
(" ").
-l vm_label
Modifies the startup behavior of the virtual machine. For start_attr, enter
one of the following:
auto: Automatically starts the virtual machine when Integrity VM is initialized
on the VM Host.
manual: The virtual machine is not started automatically. Use the hpvmstart
command to start the virtual machine manually.
-B start_attr
Modifies the type and version of the operating system running on the virtual
machine. For the os-type, specify one of the following (case-insensitive) values:
hpux
openvms
-O os_type[:version]
Modifies the number of virtual CPUs this virtual machine detects at boot time.
If unspecified, the number defaults to one. The maximum number of vCPUs
that you can allocate to a virtual machine is the number of physical processors
on the VM Host system.
-c number_vcpus
Modifies the virtual machine's CPU entitlement in CPU cycles. To specify the
percentage of CPU power, enter the following option:
-e percent[:max_percent]
To specify the clock cycles, enter one of the following options:
-E cycles[:max_cycles]M (for megahertz)
-E cycles[:max_cycles]G (for gigahertz)
-e percent[:max_percent] |
-E cycles[:max_cycles]
Specifies a group authorization. The specified administrative level (admin
or oper) is applied to the specified user group.
-g group[:admin | oper]
Specifies the IP address used to connect to the guest's virtual iLO Remote
Console. The address must be specified in IPv4 dot notation or 0. If 0 is entered,
then the guest will no longer have virtual iLO Remote Console access using
IP.
-K console_IP_Addr
Specifies the IPv4 subnet mask used with the option when setting up the IP
interface to be used for accessing the virtual iLO Remote Console for this
guest. The address is entered in dot notation form.
-L console_IP_Addr_Netmask
Specifies a user authorization. The specified administrative level (admin or
oper) is applied to the specified user.
-u user[:admin | oper]
Adds a virtual storage or network device to the virtual machine. For more
information, see hpvmresources(5).
-a rsrc
Modifies an existing I/O resource for a virtual machine. The resource is
specified as described below. You must specify the hardware address of the
device to modify. The physical device portion of the rsrc specifies a new
physical device that replaces the one in use.
-m rsrc
Deletes a virtual resource.
-d rsrc
Modifies the amount of memory available to this virtual machine. Specify the
amount as either amountM (for megabtyes) or amountG (for gigabytes).
-r amount
