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

-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.
-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.
In addition to the guest calculation, Integrity VM reserves
processing power for essential system functions such as
logging, networking, and file system daemons.
The -e and the -E options are mutually exclusive.
NOTE: If you change from -e percent to -E cycles on a
guest that previously had a maximum configured and do
not specify a maximum, then the default maximum value
is chosen.
-E cycles[:maximum_cycles]
Specifies the virtual machine's CPU entitlement in CPU
cycles and optionally specifies the maximum cycles or
entitlement cap. The default entitlement cap is the total
maximum cycles supported by the physical CPU.
The cycles are expressed as an integer, followed by one of
the following letters to specify units:
• M (megahertz)
• G (gigahertz)
If no letter is specified, the default unit is megahertz.
