Parameters
Parameter Description
name
The name assigned to the virtual machine.
-vcpu cpucount
Number of nodes assigned to the virtual machine. The range is 1 to
72. This number depends on your Oracle Database Appliance
configuration
-maxvcpu maxcpu
Maximum number of CPUs that the virtual machine can consume. The
range is 1 to 72. This number depends on your Oracle Database
Appliance configuration.
-cpuprio priority
Priority for CPU usage, where larger values have higher priority. The
range is 1 to 65535.
-cpucap
cap
Percentage of a CPU the virtual machine can receive. The range is 10
to 100.
-memory
memsize
Amount of memory given to the virtual machine: (1 to 248)G to (1to
760G) or (1 to 253952)M to (1 to 778240)M, based on RAM. The
default is M.
-maxmemory
max_memsize
Maximum amount of memory allowed for the virtual machine: (1 to
248)G to (1 to 760)G or (1-253952)M to (1-778240)M, based on RAM.
The default is M.
-os
sys
Operating system used by the virtual machine (WIN_2003, WIN_2008,
WIN_7, WIN_VISTA, OTHER_WIN, OL_4, OL_5, OL_6, RHL_4,
RHL_5, RHL_6, LINUX_RECOVERY, OTHER_LINUX, SOLARIS_10,
SOLARIS_11, OTHER_SOLARIS, or NONE)
-keyboard lang
Keyboard used by virtual machine (en-us, ar, da, de, de-ch, en-gb, es,
et, fi, fo, fr, fr-be, fr-ca, hr, hu, is, it, ja, lt, lv, mk, nl, n--be, no, pl, pt, pt-
br, ru, sl, sv, th, or tr)
-mouse
mouse_type
Mouse type used by the virtual machine (OS_DEFAULT,
PS2_MOUSE, USB_MOUSE, or USB_TABLET)
-domain
dom
Domain type from the following options:
• Hardware virtualized guest (XEN_HVM)
- The kernel or operating system is not virtualization-aware and
can run unmodified.
- Device drivers are emulated.
• Para virtualized guest (XEN_PVM)
- The guest is virtualization-aware and is optimized for a
virtualized environment.
- PV guests use generic, idealized device drivers.
• Hardware virtualized guest (XEN_HVM_PV_DRIVERS)
The PV drivers are hypervisor-aware and significantly reduce the
overhead of emulated device input/output.
• Hardware virtualized guest (UNKNOWN)
-network
netlist
MAC address and list of networks used by the virtual machine
-autostart
astart
Startup option for virtual machine (always, restore, or never)
