Converting the guest's virtual MPT adapters to AVIO storage adapters prevents this spinlock
timeout.
3.2.8 Creating Virtual Machine Labels
The -l option specifies the label of the virtual machine. The virtual machine label is a descriptive
label unique to this virtual machine. The label can be useful in identifying a specific virtual
machine in the hpvmstatus -V display. The label can contain up to 256 alphanumeric characters,
including A-Z, a-z, 0-9, the dash (—), the underscore (_), and the period (.). If white space is
desired, the label must be quoted ("").
3.2.9 Specifying the Virtual Machine Boot Attribute
The -B option specifies the startup behavior of the virtual machine. The start_attr attribute
can have the following (case-insensitive) values:
• auto: Automatically start the virtual machine when Integrity VM is initialized on the host.
• manual: Manually start the virtual machine.
If the start_attr attribute is set to auto, the virtual machine is started when Integrity VM is
initialized. This is the default. This occurs when the VM Host system is booted, and when the
Integrity VM software is stopped and restarted on a running VM Host. For example, when you
upgrade Integrity VM to a new version on a running system, the software is started automatically.
The VM Host attempts to start all virtual machines for which the attribute is set to auto. If
insufficient resources exist, some virtual machines may fail to start.
If the attribute is set to manual, the virtual machine will not be started automatically when
Integrity VM is initialized on the VM Host. 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.
NOTE: If the start_attr attribute is set to Auto, the virtual machine also starts after you
install or upgrade Integrity VM.
In addition to automatically starting guests when Integrity VM starts, this feature also determines
a startup order to best utilize VM Host processor and memory resources. On cellular systems
with cell local memory (CLM) configured, the goal is to start the guests so that CLM is utilized
first. For each guest with the start_attr attribute set to auto, the startup order is based on a
memory weight and a processor weight added together.
A rough estimate of the memory weight calculation is:
100 * guest memory size / available host memory + 2 (if the guest resources can fit into a cell's
available CLM and processors)
