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

Table 27 Options to the hpvmmigrate command (continued)
DescriptionOption
Creates the VM configuration on the target VSP and marks it Not
Runnable, but does not change the VM on the source VSP. This is used
primarily to distribute VM configurations for Serviceguard.
-k
Specifies a descriptive label for the VM, which can be useful in identifying
a specific VM in the verbose display of the hpvmstatus command. The
label can contain up to 255 alphanumeric characters, including A-Z, a-z,
0-9, the dash (-), the underscore (_), and the period (.). To specify white
space, the label must be quoted (" ").
-l new-vm-label
For offline migrations, specifies a resource of a VM for copying,
translation, and so on. This option can be specified more than once. For
more information about specifying VM storage and network resources,
see hpvmresources(5).
-m rsrc-with-absolute-path
Quits after starting the migration in the background. If not specified, the
hpvmmigrate command continues to run interactively and reports the
migration status until the migration is complete.
-n
Specifies the new name for the VM being migrated. The new-vm-name
can be up to 255 alphanumeric characters, including A-Z, a-z, 0–9, the
dash (-), the underscore character (_), and the period (.). The VM name
must not start with a dash (-).
If the VM name exists on the target VSP, the VM must have the same
UUID as the source VM, and the VM on the target must be marked Not
Runnable.
-N new-vm-name
Specifies an online guest migration. To be compatible for online
migrations, both the source and the target VSP must have the same
processor family (as reported by the machinfo command). To maintain
online guest network connectivity, a vswitch with the same name and
connected to the same subnet must be configured on the target VSP. Also,
only whole disk backing storage consisting of SAN LUNs, and null
backing store DVD devices, are supported for online migration guest
storage.
-o
Specifies the unique number of the VM to be migrated. To view the
source-vm-number, run the hpvmstatus command. Most forms of
the hpvmmigrate command require either the -p option or the -P
option.
-p source-vm-number
Specifies the unique name of the VM to be migrated. Most forms of the
hpvmmigrate command require either the -p option or the -P option.
-P source-vm-name
Displays fewer informative messages. Some potential error conditions
are still reported.
-q
For online migrations, sets the non-interactive mode. Assuming that the
output device is not a terminal.
-Q
For offline migration, specifies the amount of memory available to this
VM. The size is expressed as an integer, optionally followed by one of
these letters:
• M (megabytes)
• G (gigabytes)
If the letter is omitted, the default unit is megabytes.
