HP-UX vPars and Integrity VM V6.3 Administrator Guide

Example 14 Create a VM with virtual network interface backed by a DIO function
Add the DIO function “0/0/0/4/0/0/0” to the direct I/O pool using the hpvmhwmgmt command:
# hpvmhwmgmt -p dio -a 0/0/0/4/0/0/0
Create a VM named Oslo in the local system specifying memory of 2 GB, 2 CPUs, and virtual
network interface backed by a DIO function “0/0/0/4/0/0/0”
# hpvmcreate -P Oslo –r 2048 –c 2 -a lan:dio::hwpath: 0/0/0/4/0/0/0
For more information about configuring VM guests with DIO functions, see Section 8.5 (page 127).
9.1.7 Specifying dynamic memory parameters
Specifies whether the new VM (shared VM type only) uses dynamic memory and the values
associated with it by including the following keywords:
• dynamic_memory_control={0|1}
• ram_dyn_type={none|any|driver}
• ram_dyn_min=amount
• ram_dyn_max=amount
• ram_dyn_target_start=amount
• ram_dyn_entitlement=amount
• amr_enable={0|1}
• amr_chunk_size=amount
For more information about using dynamic memory for guests, see Section 13.14.2 (page 235).
