HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and Administration Version A.03.50

-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 -E options are mutually exclusive.
-F
Suppresses all resource conflict checks and associated warning
messages (force mode). This option is primarily intended for
use by scripts and other noninteractive applications. Note that
you will receive no notification of potential resource problems
for a virtual machine created with the -F option.
The -F and -s options are mutually exclusive.
-a
Specifies the mapping of a guest virtual device to a VM Host
backing store. A virtual device is instantiated on physical
entities that are 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 DVDs, which can be backed by filess in a VM Host
file system or by physical DVD drives.
• Virtual disks, which can be backed by files in a VM Host
file system, by logical volumes, by disk partitions, or by
whole disks.
• Attached I/O devices (DVD, tape, media changer, and other
peripheral device types).
• Virtual network devices, which are created using 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).
-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, or both. 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 this virtual machine. This can
be useful in identifying a specific virtual machine in the
hpvmstatus -V 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 ("").
