HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.3: Installation, Configuration, Administration

initialized on the VM Host. This is the default behavior.
The virtual machine can then be started manually with the
hpvmstart command or through its virtual console.
This option does not set the virtual machine's console to
enable booting when the virtual machine is started. This
function must be set with the virtual machine's console.
-O os-type[:version]
Specifies the type and version of the operating system
running on the virtual machine. The response will affect
the default selection of certain virtual machine attributes,
such as amount of memory and CPU power. The os_type
is one of the following: HPUX or OPENVMS. This parameter
is not case-sensitive.
The version is specific to the operating system type. The
version specifies a descriptive text string of the version of
the operating system. The version string can consist of up
to 256 alphanumeric characters, including A-Z, a-z, 0-9,
the dash (—), the underscore (_), and the period (.). If white
space is desired then version must be quoted.
NOTE: You can specify the os_type here manually, but
when the guest boots, the os_type is set to whatever
operating system was last booted. The operating system
version is only set manually with the -O option.
-c number-vcpus
Specifies the number of virtual CPUs this virtual machine
sees at boot time. If unspecified, the number defaults to
one.
The maximum number of virtual CPUs that can be
allocated to a guest is 16.
-r amount
Specifies the amount of memory available to this virtual
machine.
The size is expressed as an integer, optionally followed by
one of these units:
• M (megabytes)
• G (gigabytes)
If unspecified, the unit defaults to megabytes. If the -r
option is omitted, the size defaults to 2 GB.
-g group[:{admin | oper}]
Specifies the group authorization. A VM Host user account
that is a member of this group can use the hpvmconsole
command to manage this guest. The group attribute
specifies the name of the group. The argument specifies
the privilege level available at the virtual console: either
admin or oper (the default).
This option can be specified more than once.
-u user[:{admin | oper}]
Specifies the user authorization. A VM Host user account
specified here can use the hpvmconsole command to
manage this guest. The user attribute specifies the user
