10.2.3 Cloning vswitches
Using the -N option with the -C option creates a new vswitch based on the changed vswitch
information. For example, the following command sequence displays the current vswitch (vmvlan),
modifies the vswitch to specify connection to lan1, and creates a new vswitch named clnvlan.
The final command displays information about the new vswitch.
# hpvmnet -S vmvlan
Name Number State Mode NamePPA MAC Address IP Address

Note that only the configured VLAN port identification data is copied to the new vswitch. Use this
hpvmnet command option when you have a vswitch with numerous VLAN ports. This process
makes it unnecessary to reenter all the port data for each new vswitch.
10.2.4 Deleting vswitches
To delete a vswitch, first stop the vswitch using the -h option to the hpvmnet command. Then
delete the vswitch using the -d option to the hpvmnet command. For example, the following
command shows the error that prevents you from deleting an active vswitch (clan1):
# hpvmnet -S clan1 -d
hpvmnet: The vswitch is currently active
hpvmnet: Unable to continue
The following example uses the hpvmnet command to halt the vswitch and then to delete it. Both
commands require you to confirm the action..
# hpvmnet -S clan1 -h
hpvmnet: Halt the vswitch 'clan1'? [n/y]: y
# hpvmnet -S clan1 -d
