HP Integrity Virtual Machines 4.2: Installation, Configuration, and Administration

256 alphanumeric characters, including A-Z, a-z, 0-9, the
dash (-), the underscore (_), and the period (.). If white
space is desired, the label must be quoted ("").
-B start-attr
Specifies the startup behavior of the virtual machine. The
start_attr attribute 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 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. This is the default behavior.
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 (_), and the period (.). If white
space is desired then version must be quoted.
NOTE: You can specify the os_type here manually, but
when the guest boots, the os_type is set to whatever
operating system was last booted. The operating system
version is only set manually with the -O option.
-c number-vcpus
Specifies the number of virtual CPUs this virtual machine
sees at boot time. If unspecified, the number defaults to
one.
The maximum number of virtual CPUs that can be
allocated to a guest is eight.
