hpvmmodify
The hpvmmodify command modifies the attributes and resources of the specified virtual machine
(-P vm_name / -p vm_number).
All attributes and resources can be changed statically, so that changes take effect when the
virtual machine is next restarted. Some attributes and resources can also be changed
dynamically. Dynamic changes take effect immediately and remain in effect when the virtual
machine is next started, un less you explicitly specify otherwise with the –A option.

For storage devices:
device-type:adapter-type:[hardware-address]:storage-type:device
device-type = disk/dvd
adapter-type = scsi
hardware-address = bus,device,target
storage-type = disk/lv/file/null
disk-> disk or dvd
lv -> LVM or VxVM character logical device file
file -> locally-mounted, nonHFS file (created with
hpvmdevmgmt command)
null-> VxFS directory containing ISO files or dvd
For attached devices:
device-type:adapter-type:[hardware-address]:storage-type:device
device-type = tape/changer/burner
adapter-type = scsi
hardware-address = bus,device,target
storage-type = attach
The device used should be the sctl device (/dev/rscsi/cXtYdZ), these
devices are created when Integrity VM starts or using hpvmdevmgmt
–I.
For network devices:
network:lan:[hardware-address]:vswitch:vswitch-name
hardware-address = bus,device,mac-addr
mac-addr format: 0xaabbcc001122/aa-bb-cc-00-11-22
vswitch-name = name assigned to the virtual network when it is
created using hpvmnet command
