HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM V6.1.5 Administrator Guide (5900-2295, April 2013)

11.5.2 vPars/VM user accounts
The configuration for captive hpvmconsole guest user accounts supports additional access controls
and configurations. This change requires that the guest user accounts have the correct home
directory. To ensure that the user continues to have administrative console access, use the following
command:
# hpvmmodify -P compass1 -u compass1:admin
11.6 Using the virtual console
Each vPar/VM has its own virtual console from which to power on or off the vPar/VM, boot the
guest operating system or shut it down, and so on. The hpvmconsole command connects to the
virtual console of a specified vPar/VM.
To start the virtual console for the guest named host1, enter the following command:
# hpvmconsole -P host1
vMP MAIN MENU
CO: Console
CM: Command Menu
CL: Console Log
SL: Show Event Logs
VM: Virtual Machine Menu
HE: Main Help Menu
X: Exit Connection
[host1] vMP>
To return to the virtual console when the display is in the EFI, press Ctr/B. Use the co command
to open the virtual console. For example:
[host1] vMP> co
You can pass a command to the vPar/VM console using the —c option to the hpvmconsole
command. For example, to start a virtual machine named host1, enter the following command:
# hpvmconsole -P host1 -c "pc -on"
