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

initialized on the VM Host. This is the default. The virtual
machine can then be started manually with the hpvmstart
command or through its virtual console.
This option does not set the virtual machine's console to
enable booting when the virtual machine is started. This
function must be set with the virtual machine's console.
-O os_type[:version]
Specifies the type and version of the operating system
running on the virtual machine. The response will affect
the default selection of certain virtual machine attributes,
such as amount of memory and CPU power. The os_type
is one of the following: HP-UX, WINDOWS, or LINUX. This
parameter is not case-sensitive. The version is specific to
the operating system type.
The version specifies a descriptive text string of the version
of the operating system. The version string can consist of
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 then version must be quoted.
-a rsrc
Adds an I/O resource to the new virtual machine. The
resource specification (rsrc) is described in
hpvmresources(5).
This option can be specified more than once.
-d rsrc
Deletes an I/O resource from the new virtual machine. The
resource specification (rsrc) is described in
hpvmresources(5).
This option can be specified more than once.
-m rsrc
Modifies an I/O resource on the cloned virtual machine.
This option can be specified more than once.
Integrity VM recognizes the following types of guest virtual
devices:
• Virtual disks, which can be backed by files in a VM
Host file system, by logical volumes, by disk partitions,
or by whole disks.
• Virtual DVDs, which can be backed by files in a VM
Host file system or by the physical DVD drive.
• Virtual network switches (vswitches), which are
created using thehpvmnet command and backed by
physical LAN cards. See thehpvmnet manpage for more
information on vswitches.
For information about specifying storage and network
resources for guests, see hpvmresources(5).
-b rsrc
Specifies the boot device for the cloned virtual machine.
To specify the rsrc parameter to the -b, option, you must
specify the virtual device hardware address. The virtual
device hardware address specifies the address of the boot
disk being cloned from. The physical device specifies the
boot disk being cloned to.
For more information about specifying storage and network
resources for guests, see hpvmresources(5).
