HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration

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.
-a rsrc
Adds an I/O resource to a virtual machine. The resource is specified as described in
hpvmresources(5).
This option can be specified more than once.
-d rsrc
Deletes an I/O resource from a virtual machine. The resource is specified as described in
hpvmresources(5). The physical device portion of the rsrc is optional.
This option can be specified more than once.
-m rsrc
Modifies an existing I/O resource for a virtual machine. The resource is specified as described
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.
The rsrc specifies the mapping of a guest virtual device to a VM Host backing store. Integrity
VM guests access virtual devices that are instantiated on physical entities 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 disks, which can be backed by files in a VM Host file system, by logical volumes,
by disk partitions, or by whole disks.
• Virtual DVDs, which can be backed by files in a VM Host file system or by the physical
DVD drive.
• Virtual network devices, which are created through 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).
-N new-vm-name
Specifies the new name for the virtual machine being modified, 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.
