This command creates a virtual machine.
The following table shows the available options for this command.
Option | Description |
|---|---|
memory= | The memory size the virtual machine is allocated in MB. |
memoryLimit= | The maximum memory size the virtual machine can be allocated in MB. |
cpuCountLimit= | The maximum number of processors the virtual machine can be allocated. |
cpuCount= | The number of processors the virtual machine is allocated. |
cpuPriority= | The CPU priority of the virtual machine. A value between 1 and 100; the higher the number, the more priority the CPU is given. |
cpuUtilizationCap= | The maximum percentage to which the virtual CPUs can receive scheduled time. A value between 1 and 100; the higher the number, the more scheduled time the CPU is given. |
highAvailability= { yes | no } | Whether to enable High Availability. |
osType= { 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 | NONE } | The operating system of the virtual machine. |
mouseType= { OS_DEFAULT | PS2_MOUSE | USB_MOUSE | USB_TABLET } | The mouse type of the virtual machine. |
domainType= { XEN_HVM | XEN_HVM_PV_DRIVERS | XEN_PVM | LDOMS_PVM | UNKNOWN } | The domain type of the virtual machine. |
keymapName= { en-us | ar | da | de | de-ch | en-gb | es | et | fi | fo | fr | fr-be | fr-ca | fr-ch | hr | hu | is | it | ja | lt | lv | mk | nl | nl-be | no | pl | pt | pt-br | ru | sl | sv | th | tr } | The keyboard mapping to use for the virtual machine. |
bootOrder= { PXE | DISK | CDROM } | The boot media order for the virtual machine. Enter options separated by commas (,), for example: bootOrder='CDROM,DISK'

networkBootPath= | The location at which the installation media (mounted ISO file) is located when creating a PVM guest. |
repository= | The repository in which to create the virtual machine configuration file. |
name= | A name to identify the virtual machine. |
description= | Optional description for the virtual machine. |

|
Any create command only creates a single instance of an object, and therefore only accepts a single object instance as an attribute. Providing more than one object of the same attribute type as a parameter always results in the last attribute value taking precedence.
Example A.40. Creating a virtual machine
