Parameter Description
-disk
disks
List of disks (slot, disktype, and content) used by virtual machine
-bootoption
bootstrap
Boot option used to bootstrap the virtual machine (PXE, DISK, or
CDROM)
-cpupool
pool
Named CPU pool assigned to the virtual machine
-prefnode 0|1
Preferred node on which the virtual machine will attempt to start (Node
0 or Node 1). This parameter is only valid for virtual machines created
in shared repositories.
-failover true|
false
Allow (use the keyword "true") or disallow (use the keyword "false")
the virtual machine to start or restart on a node other than the node
defined by the
-prefnode
parameter. This parameter is only valid for
virtual machines created in shared repositories.
-h
(Optional) Display help for using the command.
Usage Notes
• All of the parameters, except for name, are optional.
• You must include at least one optional parameter for the command to work.
• When you create a virtual machine, select the Processor Cap as a percentage,
between 10 and 100%. The default is 100%. This value is then converted to a
CPU utilization limit in the
vm.cfg
file for the virtual machine. The value set in the
vm.cfg
file limits the amount of CPU a guest is allowed to consume. If the
Processor Cap is set at 100% in Oracle VM, then the value set in
vm.cfg
is 0,
which means there is no limit to CPU utilization.

Changing the Number of Virtual CPUs
This command example changes the number of virtual CPUs to 3, and changes the
virtual memory size to 4 GB in a virtual machine named
odarep01
:
oakcli configure vm odarep01 -vcpu 3 -memory 4196
