HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.3: Installation, Configuration, Administration
Options
The hpvmmodify command recognizes the following command-line options and arguments.
-P vm-name
Specifies the name of the virtual machine to be modified.
You must specify either the -P or the -p option.
-p vm-number
Specifies the number of the virtual machine to be modified.
The vm-number is displayed by the hpvmstatus
command.
You must specify either the -P or the -p option.
-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
with 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.
-L console_IP_Addr_Netmask
This option specifies the IPv4 subnet mask used with the
option when setting up the IP interface to be used for
accessing the virtual iLO Remote Console for this guest.
The address is entered in dot notation form.
-A
Specifies that the addition, modification, or deletion of
resources is done to an active virtual machine's
configuration file. These modifications will be effective
until the virtual machine is rebooted. Not all modifications
can be done to an active virtual machine; in this case, an
error message indicates the changes that require the virtual
machine to be rebooted.
NOTE: Changing the VM name of an active guest fails
and requires a reboot.
-e percent[:maximum_percent]
Specifies the percentage of CPU resources to which each
of the guest's virtual CPUs is entitled and optionally
specific the maximum percent or entitlement cap. The
default cap is 100%.
During peak system CPU load, the entitlement is the
guaranteed minimum allocation of CPU resources for this
virtual machine.
The percent can be set to an integral value between 0 and
100. If the value specified is less than 5, the virtual machine
will be allocated the minimum percentage of 5%. The
default is 10%.
The maximum entitlement may not exceed 100 percent,
and may not be less than the minimum. Each group has a
default maximum setting of 100 percent.
