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

If the letter is omitted, the default unit is megabytes.
-s
Indicates that the migration should not occur, but the
hpvmmigrate command should check whether or not the
migration is possible. Because guests and their VM Hosts
are dynamic, a successful -s trial does not always
guarantee a subsequent successful migration. The
hpvmmigrate command with the -o, -s, and -h options
(but without a -p or -P option) checks host connectivity
and CPU compatibility for online migration.
-t
For offline migration, translates the storage device names
specified with the -m option by comparing WWIDs. To
compare WWIDs, the storage resources must be present
and available on both the source and the target VM Hosts.
If you specify the -t option before the first -m option, the
-t option applies to all -m options. The -t option
overrides the -T option for storage resources specified
with the -m option. Device translation is automatic for
online migration.
-T
For offline migration, specifies not to translate devices.
-v Displays the version number of the hpvmmigrate
command.
-w
For online migrations, bypasses all vswitch connectivity
checks. Use the -w option only of you are certain that the
source and target vswitches are connected to the same
subnet; otherwise, your active guest will lose network
connectivity after migrating.
RETURN VALUES
The hpvmmigrate command exits with one of the following values:
0: Successful completion.
1: One or more error conditions
occurred.
2: One or more operational failures
occurred.
DIAGNOSTICS
The hpvmmigrate command displays error messages on stderr for any of the following
conditions:
• An invalid option is specified.
• An invalid value is specified for an option.
• A value is omitted for an argument that requires one, or a value is supplied for an argument
that does not take one.
• The source-vm-name or source-vm-number attribute does not exist, cannot be accessed,
is not a virtual machine, or is corrupt.
• SSH does not seem to be properly configured between the source and the target VM Hosts.
• The hpvmmigrate command and Integrity Virtual Machines are at different revision levels.
• The virtual machine already exists on the target VM Host and is Runnable, or the virtual
machine name exists on the target but the configuration has a different UUID.
• The guest is running, and online migration is not being used. Or, the virtual machine is not
running, and online migration is attempted.
