The host1 virtual machine has been assigned virtual machine number 12, has been created with
an UNKNOWN operating system type, one vCPU, no storage devices, no network devices, and
2 GB of memory. The Runsysid column indicates the VM Host that runs the virtual machine
in a Serviceguard cluster. If the virtual machine runs on the local VM Host, or if Serviceguard is
not configured, the Runsysid is zero. For more information about running virtual machines
under Serviceguard, see Chapter 11: “Using HP Serviceguard with Integrity VM” (page 187).
3.4 Starting Virtual Machines
To start the virtual machine, enter the hpvmstart command. You can specify either the virtual
machine name or the virtual machine number (listed in the hpvmstatus display under VM #.)
The hpvmstart command syntax is:
# hpvmstart {-P vm-name | -p vm_number} [-F | -s | -Q]
Table 3-6 describes the options to the hpvmstart command.
Table 3-6 Options to the hpvmstart Command
DescriptionOption
Specifies the name of the virtual machine. Specify either
the -P option or the -p option.
-P vm-name
Specifies the number of the virtual machine. To determine
the virtual machine number, enter the hpvmstatus
command.
-p vm_number
Suppresses all resource conflict checks and associated
warning messages (force mode). Use force mode for
troubleshooting purposes only.
-F
Sanity-checks the virtual machine configuration and
returns warnings or errors, but doesn't start the virtual
machine.
-s
Quietly performs the command. The default is to prompt
for confirmation of the command before performing it.
-Q
For example, to start the new virtual machine host1, enter the following command:
# hpvmstart -P host1
