HP vPars and Integrity Virtual Machines V6.1 Administrator Guide

Table 10 Attributes of a virtual partition in vPars V6.1 (continued)
Default valueCommand optionDescriptionvPar attribute
If you leave out this option when
you create a vPar, the vPar will
not have access to network and
storage devices.
-a rsrcYou can allocate virtual network
switches and virtual storage
devices to the virtual partition.
The VSP presents devices to the
virtual partition as virtual
devices.
The vPar network consists of
vNICs and vswitches. For virtual
partitions to communicate either
with other virtual partitions or
outside the VSP system, each
virtual partition's virtual network
must be associated with a
vswitch. If you start a virtual
machine without a vswitch, the
virtual machine has no network
communication channel.
Virtual storage devices are
backed by physical devices on
the VSP system. You can specify
one of the following devices –
disk, dvd, tape, changer,
burner, or hba.
I/O (virtual
devices)
If you leave out this option when
you create a vPar, the remote
console is not started, that is, the
virtual console can be accessed
only using the vparconsole
command.
-K console_ipYou can access the Virtual iLO
Remote Console of the virtual
partition using telnet or ssh. This
attribute is the IP address that is
used to connect to the Virtual
iLO Remote Console of the vPar.
The address must be specified
in IPv4 dot-decimal notation.
If the -K option is specified,
then the -L option too must be
specified.
By default, the root user may
access the console of the vPar
using the vparconsole
command or through the Virtual
iLO Remote Console, if
configured. There is no need to
configure a console account if
the root user for this purpose
does not violate security policy.
However, access to the console,
through the vparconsole
command or the remote console,
can be granted to groups or
individual users, with either
administrative or operator virtual
iLO permissions.

Not applicable.-L netmaskTo access the Virtual iLO Remote
Console of the vPar if you have
specified its IP address using the
-K option, then you must specify
the IPv4 subnet mask for
accessing the Virtual iLO Remote
Console for the vPar.
