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

communicate with one another. To disable a VLAN, specify
none for the VLAN identifier.
Only virtual machines that are configured with the same
VLAN identifier on their ports can communicate with one
another. To disable VLANs on a port, specify none for the
VLAN identifier. Virtual machines that do not have any
VLANs configured on their vswitch port (which is the
default) cannot communicate over that port with virtual
machines that have a VLAN configured on their vswitch
port.
The port number is used to reserve a specific port for a
particular virtual machine's network resource. This port
number can be used later in the hpvmnet command to
configure VLAN rules on the port. You can also first set
up VLAN rules on the virtual switch and later create virtual
machines referencing the specific port numbers.
NOTE: The maximum number of ports supported per
vswitch is 512.
-p {all | portid}
Specifies the port number on the vswitch. To specify all
the ports on the vswitch, enter all. This command displays
information about VLAN ports configured for the specified
vswitch, including a list of enabled VLAN IDs. Do not use
the -p option with the -V option.
-C Changes the specified vswitch. If used with the -N option,
the changes are made to the cloned vswitch. You must
include either the -S or the -s option. Only those ports
with tagged VLAN are cloned.
-N new-vswitch-name
Creates a new vswitch based on the existing vswitch. For
new-vswitch-name, specify the unique name of the new
virtual switch. The name of the vswitch is limited to eight
characters. You must include either the -S or the -s option.
RETURN VALUES
The hpvmnet command exits with one of the following values:
0: Successful completion.
1: One or more error conditions
occurred.
DIAGNOSTICS
The hpvmnet command displays error messages for any of the following conditions:
• An invalid option is specified.
• An invalid value is specified for an option.
• The vswitch-name or vswitch-number argument does not exist, cannot be accessed, is
not a vswitch, or is corrupt.
• A value was omitted for an argument that requires one, or a value was supplied for an
argument that does not take one.
• The hpvmnet command and Integrity Virtual Machines are at different revision levels.
