HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration

hpvmconsole(1M)
NAME
hpvmconsole -- Connect to the console of a virtual machine.
SYNOPSIS
hpvmconsole { -P vm-name | -p vm-number } [-c command] [-e echar] [-f] [-i] [-q]
DESCRIPTION
An Integrity VM virtual machine console is similar in appearance to the maintenance processor
of an Integrity system. Each virtual machine has its own virtual console, from which you can
manage the virtual machine and the guest operating system. The hpvmconsole command
connects to the virtual console of a specified virtual machine.
If you have logged into the physical console of an VM Host and then run hpvmconsole
interactively:
To return to the physical console, use Ctrl/B.
To return to the virtual console main menu, use Ctrl/X.
Options
hpvmconsole recognizes the following standard Integrity VM options and arguments:
-P vm-name
Specifies the name of the virtual machine to be booted.
You may specify either the -P or the -p option, but not both.
-p vm-number
Specifies the number of the virtual machine to be booted. The vm-number is displayed by the
hpvmstatus command.
You may specify either the -P or the -p option, but not both.
-c command
Provides a console command to be performed before reading from standard input. The -c
option is provided for scripting and logging purposes. You can enter multiple -c options;
they are processed from left to right. In this mode, you cannot use the Ctrl/-B character to
get back to command mode. This mode is primarily useful in combination with the -f option
to enter console mode and watch the OS console output. Even so, the console commands so
given will assume a trailing -nc option, if they support one, to prevent the reading of standard
input unless the -i option is also specified.
-e echar
Overrides the standard Ctrl/B escape (or attention) character. The character can be given as
a literal control character, or as a caret (^) followed by another character.
-f
Continues following the console output after reaching EOF on standard input. (This option
exists for scripting and logging purposes.)
-i
Interacts with the console (reads from standard input), despite the use of the -c and -f
options.
-q
Makes scripted operations less verbose.
RETURN VALUES
The hpvmconsole command exits with one of the following values:
