HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration
of memory and CPU power. The os_type is one of the following: HP-UX, WINDOWS, or LINUX.
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 character (_), and the period (.). If white space is desired then version
must be quoted.
-a rsrc
Adds an I/O resource to the new virtual machine. The resource specification (rsrc) is
described in hpvmresources(5).
This option can be specified more than once.
-d rsrc
Deletes an I/O resource from the new virtual machine. The resource specification (rsrc) is
described in hpvmresources(5).
This option can be specified more than once.
-m rsrc
Modifies an I/O resource on the cloned virtual machine.
This option can be specified more than once.
Integrity VM recognizes the following types of guest virtual devices:
• Virtual disks, which can be backed by files in a VM Host file system, by logical volumes,
by disk partitions, or by whole disks.
• Virtual DVDs, which can be backed by files in a VM Host file system or by the physical
DVD drive.
• Virtual network switches (vswitches), which are created using the hpvmnet command
and backed by physical LAN cards. See the hpvmnet manpage for more information
on vswitches.
For information about specifying storage and network resources for guests, see
hpvmresources(5).
-b rsrc
Specifies the boot device for the cloned virtual machine.
To specify the rsrc parameter to the -b, option, you must specify the virtual device hardware
address. The virtual device hardware address specifies the address of the boot disk being
cloned from. The physical device specifies the boot disk being cloned to.
For more information about specifying storage and network resources for guests, see
hpvmresources(5).
-F
Ignores all virtual machine configuration warnings, including oversubscribing of resources
(Force mode).
This option is primarily intended for use by scripts and other noninteractive applications.
-c number_vcpus
Specifies the number of virtual CPUs visible to the new virtual machine. If unspecified, the
number defaults to that of the existing virtual machine.
-r amount
Specifies the amount of memory available to the new virtual machine at boot time.
The sizes are expressed as integers, optionally followed by one of the following letters:
• M -megabytes
• G -gigabytes
