HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.3: Installation, Configuration, Administration

Table 3-8 Options to the hpvmclone Command (continued)
DescriptionOption
Modifies a virtual device that is defined on the existing virtual machine in
the clone virtual machine configuration. Specify the virtual and physical
device information for rsrc .
For information about forming a virtual storage device specification, see
Chapter 6.
For information about forming a virtual network device specification, see
Chapter 7.
-m rsrc
Specifies the boot disk for the new virtual machine.
-b rsrc
Suppresses all resource-conflict checks and associated warning messages
(force mode). Use force mode for troubleshooting purposes only.
NOTE: The -F option is deprecated in Integrity VM commands; this option
should be used only at the direction of HP Support.
-F
Specifies the number of vCPUs 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
Specifies the amount of memory available to this virtual machine. Specify the
amount as either amountM (for megabtyes) or amountG (for gigabytes).
-r amount
Specifies that the cloned guest must share the same virtual LAN (VLAN)
ports as the source guest. By default, the hpvmclone command allocates
VLAN ports that are different from those allocated to the guest that is the
source of the clone operation. For more information about using VLANS on
virtual machines, see Section 7.4 (page 132).
-S amount
Specifies a group authorization. The specified administrative level (admin
or oper) is applied to the specified user group.
-g group[:{admin|oper}]
Specifies a user authorization. The specified administrative level (admin or
oper) is applied to the specified user group.
-u user[:{admin|oper}]
