Provides information about the memory type for Host and guests: cell local
memory, interleaved, or none.

For example, to clone the virtual machine named host1, to create a new virtual machine named
clone1, enter the following commands. First display the current guest status on the VM Host:
# hpvmstatus
[Virtual Machines]
Virtual Machine Name VM # OS Type State #VCPUs #Devs #Nets Memory Runsysid
==================== ===== ======= ========= ====== ===== ===== ======= ========
host1 2 HPUX On (OS) 1 1 1 2 GB 0
host2 3 UNKNOWN Off 1 1 1 1 GB 0
host3 4 HPUX Off 1 1 1 2 GB 0
You can create a clone of host3 by entering the following command. The new virtual machine
is named clone1:
# hpvmclone -P host3 -N clone1
To see the results of the command, enter the hpvmstatus command again:
# hpvmstatus
[Virtual Machines]
Virtual Machine Name VM # OS Type State #VCPUs #Devs #Nets Memory Runsysid
==================== ===== ======= ========= ====== ===== ===== ======= ========
host1 2 HPUX On (OS) 1 1 1 2 GB 0
host2 3 UNKNOWN Off 1 1 1 1 GB 0
host3 4 HPUX Off 1 1 1 2 GB 0
clone1 5 HPUX Off 1 1 1 2 GB 0
The hpvmclone command creates a copy of an existing virtual machine and its configuration
