hpvmstart: Successful start initiation of guest 'host1'
The virtual machine host1 is started. Now the guest operating system must be installed. For
information about creating HP-UX guests, see Chapter 4. For information about creating Windows
guests, see Chapter 5.
3.6 Cloning Virtual Machines
Once you have created a guest, you can quickly and easily create additional guests by using the
hpvmclone command. Like the hpvmcreate, hpvmmigrate, and hpvmmodify commands,
the hpvmclone command accepts the command options listed in Table 3-2 (page 44) for
specifying virtual devices, network interfaces, and other virtual machine characteristics. This
allows you to create new guests with similar characteristics but different virtual resources.
Table 3-8 describes the options you can use with the hpvmclone command.
Table 3-8 Options to the hpvmclone Command
DescriptionOption
Specifies the name of the existing virtual machine to be cloned. You must
specify either the -P option or the -p option.
-P vm-name
Specifies the number of the existing virtual machine to be cloned. You must
specify either the -P option or the -p option.
-p vm-number
Specifies the name of the new virtual machine (the clone). The clone-vm-name
can be up to 256 alphanumeric characters. The same virtual machine name
cannot already exist on the same VM Host system.
-N clone-vm-name
Specifies the virtual machine's CPU entitlement in CPU cycles. To specify the
percentage of CPU power, enter the following option:
-e percent[:max_percent]
To specify the clock cycles, enter one of the following options:
-E cycles[:max_cycles]M (for megahertz)
-E cycles[:max_cycles]G (for gigahertz)
-e percent[:max_percent] | -E
cycles[:max_cycles]
Specifies a descriptive label for this virtual machine. The label can contain up
to 256 alphanumeric characters, including A-Z, a-z, 0-9, the dash (—), the
underscore (_), and the period (.). To include spaces, the label must be quoted
(" ").
