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

Table 3-6 Options to the hpvmclone Command (continued)
DescriptionOption
Creates a virtual device for the new virtual machine (clone). Specify the virtual
and physical device information for rsrc .
For information about forming a virtual storage device specification, see
Chapter 7 (page 81).
For information about forming a virtual network device specification, see
Chapter 8 (page 109).
-a rsrc
Deletes a virtual device that is defined on the existing virtual machine in the
clone virtual machine configuration. Specify the virtual and physical device
information for rsrc .
For information about forming a virtual storage device specification, see
Chapter 7 (page 81).
For information about forming a virtual network device specification, see
Chapter 8 (page 109).
-d rsrc
Modifies a virtual device that is defined on the existing virtual machine in
the clone virtual machine configuration. Specify the virtual and physical
device information for rsrc .
For information about forming a virtual storage device specification, see
Chapter 7 (page 81).
For information about forming a virtual network device specification, see
Chapter 8 (page 109).
-m rsrc
Specifies the boot disk for the new virtual machine.
-b rsrc
Suppresses all resource-conflict checks and associated warning messages
(force mode). Use force mode for troubleshooting purposes only.
-F
Specifies the number of vCPUs this virtual machine detects at boot time. If
unspecified, the number defaults to one. The maximum number of vCPUs
that you can allocate to a virtual machine is the number of physical processors
on the VM Host system.
-c number_vcpus
Specifies the amount of memory available to this virtual machine. Specify the
amount as either amountM (for megabtyes) or amountG (for gigabytes).
-r amount
Specifies that the cloned guest must share the same virtual LAN (VLAN)
ports as the source guest. By default, the hpvmclone command allocates
VLAN ports that are different from those allocated to the guest that is the
source of the clone operation. For more information about using VLANS on
virtual machines, see Section 8.4 (page 116).
-S amount
Specifies a group authorization. The specified administrative level (admin
or oper) is applied to the specified user group.
-g group[:{admin|oper}]
Specifies a user authorization. The specified administrative level (admin or
oper) is applied to the specified user group.
-u user[:{admin|oper}]
Specifies values for dynamic memory setting associated with the guest,
including:
• dynamic_memory_control
• ram_dyn_type
• ram_dyn_min
• ram_dyn_max
• ram_dyn_target_start
For more information about dynamic memory, see Section 9.6 (page 130).
