To remove a virtual machine from the VM Host,
use the hpvmremove command. By default, you are
required to confirm this action. Table 3-9 describes the options to the hpvmremove command.
Table 3-9 Options to the hpvmremove Command
| Option | Description |
|---|
| -P vm-name | Specifies the name of the virtual machine. You must include
either the —P or —p option. |
| -p vm_number | Specifies the number of the virtual machine. To display the
virtual machine number, enter the hpvmstatus command. |
| -F | Forces the command to
act regardless of errors. |
| -Q | Performs the command
without requiring user input to confirm. |
For example, the following command removes the
virtual machine named compass1. The
subsequent hpvmstatus command shows that compass1 is gone:
# hpvmremove -P compass1
hpvmremove: Remove the virtual machine 'compass1'? [n/y]: y
# hpvmstatus
[Virtual Machines]
Virtual Machine Name VM # OS Type State #VCPUs #Devs #Nets Memory Runsysid
==================== ===== ======= ========= ====== ===== ===== ======= ========
config1 1 HPUX Off 1 5 1 512 MB 0
config2 2 HPUX Off 1 7 1 1 GB 0
winguest1 5 WINDOWS On (OS) 1 5 1 1 GB 0
winguest2 9 WINDOWS Off 1 3 1 2 GB 0 |
The default action of this command (if you press Enter) is to not perform the command action. To perform
the action, you must enter y.
This command removes compass1 and all its configuration files, and restores any resources allocated
to that guest to the VM Host's pool of available resources. (Any
guest operating system and application data on the VM Host storage
devices are not affected.)
To remove the guest without requiring user confirmation
(for example, in a script), enter the following command:
# hpvmremove -P compass1 -Q |
