HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.3: Installation, Configuration, Administration

• -x runnable_status={disabled|enabled}
Specifying runnable_status=disabled prevents
the guest from being started. It also prevents other
guests from booting if they share devices with a
disabled guest whose devices are marked SHARE=NO.
Specifying enabled allows guest to be started again.
Set -x runnable_status=disabled only with the
hpvmmodify command. An error message is printed
if it is specified with the hpvmcreate or the
hpvmclone commands. In addition, specify -x
runnable_status=disabled only if the guest is
not being managed by Serviceguard. If the
hpvmcreate, hpvmmodify, or the hpvmclone
command specifies -i SG, -i GWLM,SG, or -i
SG_packagename, an error message is printed if an
attempt is made to disable the guest.
• -x not_runnable_reason="string"
Displays the specified string in a message printed by
the hpvmstatus -V command when the guest is
disabled, or when -F is specified. If no reason is given
for disabling the guest, a default string is used. This
parameter is ignored when -x runnable=enabled
is specified on the command line. An error message
is displayed if this parameter is specified by itself and
the guest is enabled.
• -x graceful_stop_timeout={0 | number}
Specifies the amount of time in seconds to allow a
graceful stop when hpvmstop —g is specified. The
default is 30 seconds.
NOTE: If the graceful stop does not finish within the
time frame specified, a hard stop is then executed.
• -x modify_status= [enabled|disabled]
Allows you to enable or disable the ability to modify
the status of a virtual machine.
• -x visible_status= [enabled|disabled]
Allows you to set whether the virtual machine is
visible to graphical tools like Logical Server Manager.
• -x register_status= [enabled|disabled]
Allows the alias register_status to equate to
modify_status, visible_status, and
runnable_status. When a guest is registered with
VMM, the following attributes are set:
— -x runnable_status=enabled
— -x modify_status=enabled
— -x visible_status=enabled
VMM and LSM ensure that a virtual machine is not
registered (and therefore runnable) on more than one
VM Host at a time.
