HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.3: Installation, Configuration, Administration

• -x amr_enable={0|1}
Enables or disables AMR monitoring for a guest,
where 1 enables and 0 disables. The monitor (amr
daemon) adjusts the guest size and take its entitlement
into account.
• - x amr_chunk_size=amount
Specifies the increment amount of changes in memory
size (default is 256 MB). Larger values result in faster
memory size growth.
• -x mac_address={new|same}
• -x serial_number={new|same}
• -x sched_preference={none|cell|ilm}
where:
— none — The default preference. If your application
is predominantly CPU bound, specifying either
ilm or cell will perform the same.
— cell — The cell with the most CPU and memory
space is chosen. When that guest is active, the
scheduler then optimizes where the guest runs,
so that it can be closest to its memory.
— ilm — Indicates that guests that are larger than
any single cell and contain highly threaded
applications.
• -x graceful_stop_timeout={0|amount}
Used for Online VM Migration:
• -x migrate_init_phase_timeout={number of
seconds} — Specifies the maximum number of
seconds the online migration spends during the
initialize phase of the migration. The default is 10
seconds.
• —x migrate_copy_phase_timeout= {number
of seconds} — Specifies the maximum number of
seconds the online migration spends during the
full-copy stage. The default is 0 seconds.
• -x migrate_io_quiesce_phase_timeout=
{number of seconds} — Specifies the maximum
number of seconds the migration spends during the
quiesce stage. The default is 15 seconds.
• -x migrate_frozen_phase_timeout= {number
of seconds} — Specifies the maximum number of
seconds the migration spends during the freezing
stage. The default is 60 seconds.
• -x online_migration= {enabled | disabled}
• -x tunables= {name=value [, name=value,...]}
To specify the MAC address of the new virtual machine,
enter the following: -x mac_address={new|same}
To specify the serial number of the new virtual machine,
enter the following: -x serial_number={new|same}
