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

-B start-attr
Specifies the startup behavior of the virtual machine. The
start_attr argument 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.
If the start_attr attribute is set to auto, the virtual machine
is started when Integrity VM is initialized. This is the
default. 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
initialized on the VM Host. 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: HPUX, 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 a virtual machine. The resource
is specified as described in hpvmresources(5).
This option can be specified more than once.
-d rsrc
Deletes an I/O resource from a virtual machine. The
resource is specified as described in hpvmresources(5). The
physical device portion of the rsrc is optional.
This option can be specified more than once.
-m rsrc
Modifies an existing I/O resource for a virtual machine.
The resource is specified as described hpvmresources(5).
You must specify the hardware address of the device to
modify. The physical device portion of the rsrc specifies
a new physical device that will replace the one in use.
This option can be specified more than once.
