hpvmremove: Remove the virtual machine 'vmguest2'? [n]:

hpvmstart

The hpvmstart command is used to boot a guest OS. It does all resource checks for VM and will

prevent it from starting it they are not met (You can force it with the –F option but it is no

recommended and can cause data corruption, virtual machine hangs,..)

Example:

vmhost# hpvmstart -P vmguest2

hpvmstop

The hpvmstop command stops a running virtual machine by simulating the operations performed

at the system console on a physical system. It can perform a hard stop, which functions like a

power failure, or a graceful stop, in which the guest operating system receives notification and

time to perform cleanup operations before the stop. You can also connect to the virtual console

to perform a hard stop, reset, toc or graceful shutdown of the VM (see hpvmconsole command)

Example:

To perform a graceful stop

vmhost# hpvmstop -P vmguest2 -g

To perform a a hard stop

vmhost# hpvmstop -P vmguest2 -h
