HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration

-N new-vm-name
Specifies the new name for the virtual machine being migrated, assuming no virtual machine
with that name already exists. The name can consist of up to 256 alphanumeric characters,
including A-Z, a-z, 0-9, the dash (-), the underscore character (_), and period (.). The virtual
machine name must not start with a dash (-).
The virtual machine name can only be changed by using the -N option.
The name change takes effect immediately.
-e percent
Specifies the percentage of CPU resources to which each of the guest's virtual CPUs is entitled.
During peak system CPU load, the entitlement is the guaranteed minimum allocation of CPU
resources for this virtual machine.
The percent can be set to an integral value between 0 and 100. If the value specified is less
than 5, the virtual machine will be allocated the minimum percentage of 5%. The default is
10%.
In addition to the guest calculation, Integrity VM reserves processing power for essential
system functions such as logging, networking, and file system daemons.
The -e and the -E options are mutually exclusive.
-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 the -E options are mutually exclusive.
-m storage-resource
Modifies an existing I/O resource for a virtual machine. The resource is specified as described
in hpvmresources(5). You must specify the hardware address of the device to modify. The
physical device portion of the rsrc specifies a new physical device that will replace the one
in use.
This option can be specified more than once.
For information about specifying storage and network resources for guests, see
hpvmresources(5).
-C
Physically copies the storage device specified with the -m option to the target host during
the migration process
-b
Causes hpvmmigrate to boot the target guest automatically after the migration process is
complete.
-d
Causes hpvmmigrate to automatically shut down the target guest before the migration
process, after the resource test in the target host.
-F
Forces the migration of a virtual machine, whether or not there are resource validation errors
(such as resource conflict resource nonexistence, and so forth). This option ignores all resource
validation errors, including oversubscribing of resources. It is important to note that these
