Table 17 Options to the hpvmclone Command (continued)
DescriptionOption
Specifies the virtual machine's CPU entitlement in CPU cycles. To specify the
percentage of CPU power, enter the following option:
-e percent[:max_percent]
To specify the clock cycles, enter one of the following options:
-E cycles[:max_cycles]M (for megahertz)
-E cycles[:max_cycles]G (for gigahertz)
-e percent[:max_percent] |
-E cycles[:max_cycles]
Specifies a descriptive label for this virtual machine. The label can contain up
to 255 alphanumeric characters, including A-Z, a-z, 0-9, the dash (—), the
underscore (_), and the period (.). To include spaces, the label must be quoted
(" ").
-l vm_label
Specifies the startup behavior of the virtual machine. For start_attr, enter
one of the following keywords:
auto: Automatically starts the virtual machine when the VSP is started
(autoboot).
manual: The virtual machine is not started automatically. Use the hpvmstart
command to start the virtual machine manually.
-B start_attr
Specifies the type and version of the operating system running on the virtual
machine. For the os_type parameter, you can specify one of the following
(case-insensitive) values:
hpux
-O os_type[:version]
Creates a virtual device for the new virtual machine (clone). Specify the virtual
and physical device information for rsrc .
For information about forming a virtual storage device specification, see
Chapter 9.
For information about forming a virtual network device specification, see
Chapter 10.
-a rsrc
Deletes a virtual device that is defined on the existing virtual machine in the
clone virtual machine configuration. Specify the virtual and physical device
information for rsrc .
For information about forming a virtual storage device specification, see
Chapter 9.
For information about forming a virtual network device specification, see
Chapter 10.
-d rsrc
Modifies a virtual device that is defined on the existing virtual machine in the
clone virtual machine configuration. Specify the virtual and physical device
information for rsrc .
For information about forming a virtual storage device specification, see
Chapter 9.
For information about forming a virtual network device specification, see
Chapter 10.
-m rsrc
Suppresses all resource-conflict checks and associated warning messages (force
mode). Use force mode for troubleshooting purposes only.
NOTE: The -F option is deprecated in Integrity VM commands; this option
should be used only at the direction of HP Support.
-F
Specifies the number of vCPUs this virtual machine detects at boot time. If
unspecified, the number defaults to one. The maximum number of vCPUs that
you can allocate to a virtual machine is the number of physical processors on
the VSP system.
