Table 23 Options to the hpvmclone command (continued)
DescriptionOption
Specifies the CPU entitlement of the VM in CPU cycles. To specify the percentage
of CPU power, enter the following option:
-e percent[:max_percent]
To specify the clock cycles, enter one of the following options:
-E cycles[:max_cycles]M (for megahertz)
-E cycles[:max_cycles]G (for gigahertz)
-e percent[:max_percent] |
-E cycles[:max_cycles]
Specifies a descriptive label for this VM. The label can contain up to 255
alphanumeric characters, including A-Z, a-z, 0-9, the dash (—), the underscore
(_), and the period (.). To include spaces, the label must be quoted (" ").
-l vm_label
Specifies the startup behavior of the VM. For start_attr, enter one of the
following keywords:
auto: Automatically starts the VM when the VSP is started (autoboot).
manual: The VM is not started automatically. Use the hpvmstart command
to start the VM manually.
-B start_attr
Specifies the type and version of the operating system running on the VM. For
the os_type parameter, you can specify one of the following (case-insensitive)
values:
hpux
-O os_type[:version]
Creates a virtual device for the new VM (clone). Specify the virtual and physical
device information for rsrc .
For information about forming a virtual storage device specification, see
Chapter 6 (page 63).
For information about forming a virtual network device specification, see
Chapter 8 (page 111).
-a rsrc
Deletes a virtual device that is defined on the existing VM in the clone VM
configuration. Specify the virtual and physical device information for rsrc .
For information about forming a virtual storage device specification, see
Chapter 6 (page 63).
For information about forming a virtual network device specification, see
Chapter 8 (page 111).
-d rsrc
Modifies a virtual device that is defined on the existing VM in the clone VM
configuration. Specify the virtual and physical device information for rsrc .
For information about forming a virtual storage device specification, see
Chapter 6 (page 63).
For information about forming a virtual network device specification, see
Chapter 8 (page 111).
-m rsrc
Suppresses all resource-conflict checks and associated warning messages (force
mode). Use force mode for troubleshooting purposes only.
NOTE: The -F option is deprecated in Integrity VM commands. This option
must be used only at the direction of HP Support.
-F
Specifies the number of vCPUs the VM detects at boot time. If unspecified, the
number defaults to one. The maximum number of vCPUs that you can allocate
to a VM is the number of physical processors on the VSP system.
-c number_vcpus
Specifies the amount of memory available to the VM. Specify the amount as
either amountM (for megabtyes) or amountG (for gigabytes).
-r amount
