• suspend_file=delete
For Online VM Migration:
• online_migration
• migrate_frozen_phase_timeout
• migrate_copy_phase_timeout
• migrate_io_quiesce_timeout
• migrate_init_phase_timeout
For more information about dynamic memory, see Section 8.10 (page 159).
To specify the serial number of the new virtual machine, enter
serial_number={new | same}
-x keyword=parameter
Provides information about the memory type for Host and guests: cell local
memory, interleaved, or none.
-C
For example, to clone the virtual machine named host1, to create a new virtual machine named
clone1, enter the following commands. First display the current guest status on the VM Host:
# hpvmstatus
[Virtual Machines]
Virtual Machine Name VM # OS Type State #VCPUs #Devs #Nets Memory Runsysid
==================== ===== ======= ========= ====== ===== ===== ======= ========
host1 2 HPUX On (OS) 1 1 1 2 GB 0
host2 3 UNKNOWN Off 1 1 1 1 GB 0
host3 4 HPUX Off 1 1 1 2 GB 0
You can create a clone of host3 by entering the following command. The new virtual machine
is named clone1:
# hpvmclone -P host3 -N clone1
To see the results of the command, enter the hpvmstatus command again:
# hpvmstatus
[Virtual Machines]
Virtual Machine Name VM # OS Type State #VCPUs #Devs #Nets Memory Runsysid
==================== ===== ======= ========= ====== ===== ===== ======= ========
host1 2 HPUX On (OS) 1 1 1 2 GB 0
host2 3 UNKNOWN Off 1 1 1 1 GB 0
host3 4 HPUX Off 1 1 1 2 GB 0
clone1 5 HPUX Off 1 1 1 2 GB 0
The hpvmclone command creates a copy of an existing virtual machine and its configuration
information. This command copies the configuration files of the existing guest. It does not copy
the actual data and software associated with the guest. Use the -b option to specify a storage
