HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration
The hpvmnet command without options displays summary information about all vswitches
configured on the VM host.
The hpvmnet command recognizes the following command-line options and arguments:
-S vswitch-name
Specifies the unique name of the virtual switch. The name of the vswitch is limited to eight
characters.
The -S and -s options are mutually exclusive.
-s vswitch-number
Specifies the unique number of the virtual switch. The vswitch number is reported using the
hpvmnet command.
The -S and -s options are mutually exclusive.
-v
Displays the version number of the hpvmnet output format. The version number is displayed
first, followed by the display specified by the other options.
-V
Displays information about vswitches in verbose mode. If you specify the vswitch using
either the -S or -s options, network counters are included in the display. Network counters
are cleared each time statistics are reported; the display reports the counts since the previous
display. Use the -S or -s option to specify the vswitch for which to display network counters.
The -V, -M , and -X options are mutually exclusive.
-M
Displays verbose resource information in a machine-readable format.
Individual fields are separated by one of the following delimiters:
• The colon (:) separates each field and resource type.
• The semicolon (;) separates subfields of a resource type.
• The comma (,) separates individual items in a list of similar items.
The -V, -M and -X options are mutually exclusive.
-X
Displays verbose resource information in the XML format.
The -V, -M, and -X options are mutually exclusive.
-F
Omits the confirmation dialog before halting, deleting, or rebooting the vswitch. This option
is intended for use by scripts and other noninteractive applications (Force mode).
-Q
Quietly performs the command. The default is to prompt for confirmation of the command
before performing it.
-c
Creates a new vswitch.
-d
Deletes an existing vswitch.
-b
Starts an existing vswitch. Vswitches must be started before they will accept guest traffic.
Note that Integrity VM attempts to automatically start all existing vswitches when Integrity
VM itself is started.
-h
Stops a vswitch.
