HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration

-E cycles
Specifies the virtual machine's CPU entitlement in CPU cycles.
The cycles are expressed as an integer, followed by one of the following letters to specify
units:
• M: Megahertz
• G: Gigahertz
If no letter is specified, the default unit is Megahertz.
The -e and -E options are mutually exclusive.
-F
Suppresses all resource conflict checks and associated warning messages (force mode). This
option is primarily intended for use by scripts and other noninteractive applications. Note
that you will receive no notification of potential resource problems for a virtual machine
created with the -F option.
The -F and -s options are mutually exclusive.
-a
Specifies the mapping of a guest virtual device to a VM Host backing store. A virtual device
is instantiated on physical entities that are managed by the VM Host. These physical entities
(for example, network cards, files, logical volumes, disk partitions, and so forth) are collectively
referred to as "backing stores."
Integrity VM recognizes the following types of guest virtual devices:
• Virtual DVDs, which can be backed by filess in a VM Host file system or by physical
DVD drives.
• Virtual disks, which can be backed by files in a VM Host file system, by logical volumes,
by disk partitions, or by whole disks.
• Attached I/O devices (DVD, tape, media changer, and other peripheral device types).
• Virtual network devices, which are created using the hpvmnet command and backed
by physical LAN cards. See the hpvmnet manpage for more information about virtual
network devices.
For information about specifying storage and network resources for guests, see
hpvmresources(5).
-i package-name
Specifies whether the virtual machine is managed by Serviceguard or gWLM (or both). For
the argument, specify the Serviceguard package name, gWLM, or both. This option is used by
Integrity VM software; do not use this option without express instruction by HP.
-j {0|1}
Specifies whether the virtual machine is a distributed guest (that is, managed by Serviceguard
and can be failed over to another cluster member). This option is used by Integrity VM
software; do not use this option without express instruction by HP.
-l vm-label
Specifies a descriptive label for this virtual machine. This 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 character (_), and the period
(.). If white space is desired, the label must be quoted ("").
