HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2: Installation, Configuration, and Administration

Table 3-8 Options to the hpvmclone Command (continued)
DescriptionOption
Specifies the startup behavior of the virtual machine. For start_attr, enter
one of the following keywords:
auto: Automatically starts the virtual machine when the VM Host is started
(autoboot).
manual: The virtual machine is not started automatically. Use the hpvmstart
command to start the virtual machine manually.
-B start_attr
Specifies the type and version of the operating system running on the virtual
machine. For the os_type parameter, you can specify one of the following
(case-insensitive) values:
hpux
windows
linux
-O os_type[:version]
Creates a virtual device for the new virtual machine (clone). Specify the virtual
and physical device information for rsrc .
For information about forming a virtual storage device specification, see
Chapter 7.
For information about forming a virtual network device specification, see
Chapter 8.
-a rsrc
Deletes a virtual device that is defined on the existing virtual machine in the
clone virtual machine configuration. Specify the virtual and physical device
information for rsrc .
For information about forming a virtual storage device specification, see
Chapter 7.
For information about forming a virtual network device specification, see
Chapter 8.
-d rsrc
Modifies a virtual device that is defined on the existing virtual machine in
the clone virtual machine configuration. Specify the virtual and physical
device information for rsrc .
For information about forming a virtual storage device specification, see
Chapter 7.
For information about forming a virtual network device specification, see
Chapter 8.
-m rsrc
Specifies the boot disk for the new virtual machine.
-b rsrc
Suppresses all resource-conflict checks and associated warning messages
(force mode). Use force mode for troubleshooting purposes only.
-F
Specifies the number of vCPUs this virtual machine detects at boot time. If
unspecified, the number defaults to one. The maximum number of vCPUs
that you can allocate to a virtual machine is the number of physical processors
on the VM Host system.
-c number_vcpus
Specifies the amount of memory available to this virtual machine. Specify the
amount as either amountM (for megabtyes) or amountG (for gigabytes).
-r amount
Specifies that the cloned guest must share the same virtual LAN (VLAN)
ports as the source guest. By default, the hpvmclone command allocates
VLAN ports that are different from those allocated to the guest that is the
source of the clone operation. For more information about using VLANS on
virtual machines, see Section 8.4 (page 134).
-S amount
Specifies a group authorization. The specified administrative level (admin
or oper) is applied to the specified user group.
-g group[:{admin|oper}]
