HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration

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.
-F
Suppresses all resource conflict checks and associated warning messages (force mode). Force
mode is provided for scripts and other noninteractive applications. Note that you will receive
no notification of potential resource problems for a virtual machine modified with the -F
option.
The -F and -s options are mutually exclusive.
-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, both, or NONE. 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 the virtual machine, which can be useful in identifying a
specific virtual machine in the hpvmstatus verbose 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 ("").
-B start-attr
Specifies the startup behavior of the virtual machine. The start_attr argument 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.
