Use the parameters described in this section with the recover vm command when creating a new virtual machine on an ESX(i) or Hyper-V host.
vmram
--vmram=<memory size>{mb|gb}
Memory sizeof the new virtual machine. If the parameter is not specified, the value is as follows:
Examples:
--vmram=512mb
--vmram=1gb
vmcpu
--vmcpu=<number of CPUs>
Number of virtual processorsof the new virtual machine. If the parameter is not specified, the value is 1.
Virtual disk parameters
If you specify one of the --vmdisk_size, --vmdisk_type, and --vmdisk_provisioning parameters, you must specify all of them.
vmdisk_size
--vmdisk_size=<disk sizes>
Sizes of the virtual disks to be created. The software assigns each value specified in the --vmdisk_size parameter to the corresponding disk specified in the --disk parameter. If the number of values of the --diskand --vmdisk_size parameters differ, the command will fail.
You can specify values in megabytes and gigabytes.
Example:
--vmdisk_size=100gb,512mb,120gb
If the parameter is not specified, the software will reproduce the sizes of the original machine's disks.
vmdisk_type
--vmdisk_type=<disk types>
Interface types of the virtual disks to be created. The available values are ide and scsi. The software assigns each value specified in the --vmdisk_type parameter to the corresponding disk specified in the --disk parameter. If the number of values of the --disk and --vmdisk_type parameters differ, the command will fail.
Example:
--vmdisk_type=ide,scsi,scsi
If the parameter is not specified, the software assigns the following values.
vmdisk_provisioning
--vmdisk_provisioning=<disk provisioning types>
Provisioning types of the virtual disks to be created. The available values are thick and thin. The software assigns each value specified in the --vmdisk_provisioning parameter to the corresponding disk specified in the --disk parameter. If the number of values of the --disk and --vmdisk_provisioning parameters differ, the command will fail.
Example:
--vmdisk_provisioning=thin,thin,thick
If the parameter is not specified, the software assigns the following values.
