HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration

-B start-attr
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.
-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: 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.
-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 four.
-r amount
Specifies the amount of memory available to this virtual machine.
The size is expressed as an integer, optionally followed by one of the following letters:
• 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[:kind]]
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 parameter specifies
the name of the group. The kind 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[:kind]]
Specifies the user authorization. A VM Host user account specified here can use the
hpvmconsole command to manage this guest.The user parameter specifies the user name.
