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

• -x ram_target={0 |start | amount}
Specifies the guest RAM target, where the values are:
— 0 indicates the dynamic memory driver reduces
the memory on the guest to what it determines
is a comfortable minimum that does not result in
guest memory being paged out.
— start indicates the guest dynamic memory size
set back to the boot time value.
— amount is a specific target memory size for the
guest.
Each amount value is expressed as an integer,
optionally followed by one of these units:
◦ M (megabytes)
◦ G (gigabytes)
If the letter is omitted, the default unit is
megabytes.
• -x guest_uuid=uuid_string
To be used only if directed by HP Customer Support.
• -x tunables={name=value[,name=value,
...]}]
To be used only if directed by HP Customer Support.
• -x runnable_status={disabled|enabled}
Specifying runnable_status=disabled prevents
the guest from being started. It also prevents other
guests from booting if they share devices with a
disabled guest whose devices are marked SHARE=NO.
Specifying enabled allows guest to be started again.
Set -x runnable_status=disabled only with the
hpvmmodify command. An error message is printed
if it is specified with the hpvmcreate or the
hpvmclone commands. In addition, specify -x
runnable_status=disabled only if the guest is
not being managed by Serviceguard. If the
hpvmcreate, hpvmmodify, or the hpvmclone
command specifies -i SG, -i GWLM,SG, or -i
SG_packagename, an error message is printed if an
attempt is made to disable the guest.
• -x not_runnable_reason="string"
Displays the specified string in a message printed by
the hpvmstatus -V command when the guest is
disabled, or when -F is specified. If no reason is given
for disabling the guest, a default string is used. This
parameter is ignored when -x runnable=enabled
is specified on the command line. An error message
is displayed if this parameter is specified by itself and
the guest is enabled.
