9.2 Oracle VM Retrieve Disk (ovm

9.2 Oracle VM Retrieve Disk (ovm_vmdisks)

The ovm_vmdisks script retrieves details about virtual disks. This script lists every virtual disk for a given virtual machine, as well as the virtual machine configuration (vm.cfg) file. If the virtual disks are physical devices directly attached to the virtual machine, this script lists the device mapper entry on the Oracle VM Server to which the virtual machine is assigned. If the virtual disks are files on an NFS server, the utility lists the NFS server name, mount point, and file name and location.

Syntax

ovm_vmdisks { -u username } { -p password | -E } { -h hostname } { -v vm_name | -U vm_uuid }

Options

The following table shows the available options for this command.

Option	Description
`-u username`	Username of an Oracle VM Manager admin user. This option is required.
[ `-p password` \| `-E` ]	Corresponding password for the Oracle VM Manager admin user. You can specify the password as follows: Do not set an option for the password in the command line. The Oracle VM Utilities then prompt you to specify it. You should use this method to set the password. Set the password as an environment variable and then use the `-E` option. It is best practice to remove the environment variable when it is no longer required. You must use the `OVMUTIL_PASS` environment variable with the `-E` option. Set this variable for a single session as follows: # export OVMUTIL_PASS=`password` Specify the password on the command line with the `-p` option. This option is deprecated as of Oracle VM Release 3.4.
{ `-h hostname` }	Hostname of the server running Oracle VM Manager.
`-v vm_name`	Virtual machine name.
`-U vm_uuid`	Virtual machine UUID. If you do not specify the virtual machine name with the `-v vm_name` option, you must specify the UUID of the virtual machine.
