HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2: Installation, Configuration, and Administration

-e percent[:max_percent]
Specifies the percentage of CPU resources to which each
of the new guest's virtual CPUs is entitled. If the
entitlement is not specified with this option or the -E
option, the new virtual machine's entitlement is that of the
existing virtual machine.
The percentage can be set to an integral value between 0
and 100. If the value specified is less than 5, then the virtual
machine is allocated the minimum percentage of 5%. The
default is 10%.
The maximum entitlement cannot exceed 100 percent and
cannot be less than the minimum. Each group has a default
maximum setting of 100 percent.
The entitled CPU resources inherited from the existing
virtual machine, specified in cycles or percentages, are
replaced in the new virtual machine by this percentage.
The -e and the -E options are mutually exclusive.
-E cycles[:max_cycles]
Specifies the virtual machine's CPU entitlement in number
of CPU clock cycles. If the cycles are not specified with this
option and the -e option is not specified, the new virtual
machine's entitled CPU resources is that of the existing
virtual machine.
The cycles are expressed as an integer, followed by one of
these units:
• M (megahertz)
• G (gigahertz)
If no letter is specified, the default unit is megahertz.
The value of entitlement inherited from the existing virtual
machine (specified in either cycles or percentages) is
replaced in the new virtual machine by the new value in
CPU clock cycles.
The -e and the -E options are mutually exclusive.
-l vm_label
Specifies a descriptive text string for the new virtual
machine. This option can be useful in identifying a specific
virtual machine in the hpvmstatus -V display. The label
can be up to 256 alphanumeric characters, including A-Z,
a-z, 0-9, the dash (—), the underscore (_), and the period
(.). To specify white space, the label must be quoted (" ").
-B start_attr
Specifies the startup behavior of the virtual machine. The
start_attr attribute can have the following
(case-insensitive) values:
• auto: Automatically start the virtual machine when
Integrity VM is initialized on the host.
• manual: Manually start the virtual machine. (This is
the default.)
If the start_attr attribute is set to auto, the virtual machine
starts when Integrity VM is initialized. This occurs when
the VM Host system is booted, and when the Integrity VM
software is stopped and restarted on a running VM Host.
For example, when you upgrade Integrity VM to a new
