HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.3: Installation, Configuration, Administration
NOTE: You can specify the os_type here manually, but
when the guest boots, the os_type is set to whatever
operating system was last booted. The operating system
version is only set manually with the -O option.
-a rsrc
Adds an I/O resource to the new virtual machine. The
resource specification (rsrc) is described in
hpvmresources(5).
This option can be specified more than once.
-d rsrc
Deletes an I/O resource from the new virtual machine. The
resource specification (rsrc) is described in
hpvmresources(5).
This option can be specified more than once.
-m rsrc
Modifies an I/O resource on the cloned virtual machine.
This option can be specified more than once.
Integrity VM recognizes the following types of guest virtual
devices:
• Virtual disks, which can be backed by files in a VM
Host file system, by logical volumes or by whole disks.
• Virtual DVDs, which can be backed by files in a VM
Host file system or by the physical DVD drive.
• Virtual network switches (vswitches), which are
created using the hpmvnet command and backed by
physical LAN cards. For more information about
vswitches, see the hpvmnet(1M) manpage.
For information about specifying storage and network
resources for guests, see hpvmresources(5).
-b rsrc
Specifies the boot device for the cloned virtual machine.
To specify the rsrc parameter to the -b, option, you must
specify the virtual device hardware address. The virtual
device hardware address specifies the address of the boot
disk being cloned from. The physical device specifies the
boot disk being cloned to.
For more information about specifying storage and network
resources for guests, see hpvmresources(5).
-F
Ignores all virtual machine configuration warnings,
including oversubscribing of resources (Force mode).
This option is primarily intended for use by scripts and
other noninteractive applications.
The -F option is deprecated in Integrity Virtual Machines
commands.
-c number_vcpus
Specifies the number of virtual CPUs visible to the new
virtual machine. If unspecified, the number defaults to that
of the existing virtual machine. The maximum number of
vCPUs supported per guest is 16.
