DESCRIPTION
The hpvmcreate command creates a new virtual machine (a guest) and assigns the specified
attributes and resources to it. This command creates an association between the virtual devices
seen by the guest and the physical devices managed by the VM Host.
Only superusers can execute the hpvmcreate command.
Virtual machine creation is designed for flexibility and assumes that not all created virtual
machines are necessarily running at the same time or on the current VM Host. Therefore, the
hpvmcreate command allows the creation of virtual machines that cannot boot on the current
system. A guest configuration receives a warning at creation and an error at start time for any
issues that might prevent it from starting on the current VM Host. To verify a particular
configuration for the current VM Host without actually creating the guest, use the -s option.
Options
-P vm-name
Specifies the name of the virtual machine. This name must
be unique on the VM Host. This virtual machine name is
used in other Integrity VM commands to specify which
virtual machine the command affects. If you plan to allow
remote access to the virtual machine's console, the virtual
machine name must be a legal UNIX account name.
The name can consist of up to 256 alphanumeric characters
including A-Z, a-z, 0-9, the dash (-), the underscore (_),
and the period (.). The virtual machine name cannot start
with a dash (-). The -P option is required.
-K console_IP_Addr
Specifies the IP address used to connect to the guest's
virtual iLO Remote Console. The address must be specified
in IPv4 dot notation or 0. If 0 is entered, then the guest will
no longer have virtual iLO Remote Console access using
IP. If an address is supplied, then the option must also be
specified. The virtual iLO Remote Console will be accessible
using telnet or ssh using this IP address. Accessing the
virtual iLO Remote Console will automatically run the
command hpvmconsole for this guest.
To facilitate virtual iLO Remote Console access, an IP alias
interface will be created using this IP address and the
netmask specified in the option. If the IP address specified
is 0, the IP alias interface for this guest will be removed.
During a migration the virtual iLO Remote Console
addressing will follow the migration. Use this option when
setting up the IP interface to be used for accessing the
