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

option, the new virtual machine's entitlement will be that
of the existing virtual machine.
The percentage can be set to an integral value between 0
and 100. If the value specified is less than 5, then the virtual
machine will be allocated the minimum percentage of 5%.
The default is 10%.
The entitled CPU resources inherited from the existing
virtual machine, specified in cycles or percentages, will be
replaced in the new virtual machine by this percentage.
The -e and the -E options are mutually exclusive.
-E cycles
Specifies the virtual machine's CPU entitlement in number
of CPU clock cycles. If the cycles are not specified with this
option and the -e option is not specified, the new virtual
machine's entitled CPU resources will be that of the existing
virtual machine.
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 value of entitlement inherited from the existing virtual
machine (specified in either cycles or percentages) will be
replaced in the new virtual machine by the new value in
CPU clock cycles.
The -e and the -E options are mutually exclusive.
-l vm_label
Specifies a descriptive text string for the new virtual
machine. This can be useful in identifying a specific virtual
machine in the hpvmstatus -V display. The label can be
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 (" ").
-B start_attr
Specifies the startup behavior of the virtual machine. The
start_attr attribute can have the following
(case-insensitive) values:
• auto: Automatically start the virtual machine when
Integrity VM is initialized on the host.
• manual: Manually start the virtual machine. (This is
the default.)
If the start_attr attribute is set to auto, the virtual machine
is started when Integrity VM is initialized. This occurs
when the VM Host system is booted, and when the
Integrity VM software is stopped and restarted on a
running VM Host. For example, when you upgrade
Integrity VM to a new version on a running system, the
software is started automatically. The VM Host attempts
to start all virtual machines for which the attribute is set
to auto. If insufficient resources exist, some virtual
machines may fail to start.
If the attribute is set to manual, the virtual machine will
not be started automatically when Integrity VM is
