Modifies 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 cycles[:max_cycles]
Specifies a group authorization. The specified administrative level (admin or
