To display information about all the virtual machines configured on the VM Host, enter the hpvmstatus command.

The virtual machine status is displayed in the State column and indicates whether the virtual machine is powered off or on. When the virtual machine is on, the status also includes one of the following:

EFI indicates the virtual machine is running normally in EFI.
OS indicates the virtual machine is running normally in the operating system.
ATTN! indicates the guest is not responding to interrupts.

Table 9-1 describes the options to the hpvmstatus command.

Table 9-1 Options to the hpvmstatus Command

Option	Description
`-v`	Displays the version of the Integrity VM product that is running on the VM Host.
`-V`	Displays detailed information about the specified virtual machine or about all the virtual machines if you do not specify one using either the `-p` or `-P` option.
`-M`	Specifies the display output should be in machine-readable format.
`-X`	Specifies the display output should be in XML format.
`-P vm-name`	Specifies the name of the virtual machine for which to display information.
`-p vm-number`	Specifies the number of the virtual machine for which to display information.
`-D`	Displays the resource allocation of the specified virtual machine. You must include either the `-p` option or the `-P` option.
`-e`	Displays the event log for the VM Host or the specified virtual machine. The event log records all changes to virtual machine configurations.
`-r`	Displays the memory and virtual CPU resource allocation for the virtual machines (or for the specified virtual machine if you use the `-p` option or the `-P` option). This option displays the entitlement and virtual CPUs parameters configured for the virtual machine and the current usage of those resources.
`-d`	Displays the devices allocated to the virtual machine you specify using either the `-p` option or the `-P` option.
`-S`	Displays the scheduler mode for the VM Host. `CAPPED` indicates that gWLM is managing the node. NORMAL indicates that the node is not being managed by gWLM.
`-s`	Displays the current VM Host resources.
`-m`	Displays information about the multiple-server environment, if Serviceguard is installed.

For example, to see detailed information about the compass1 virtual machine, enter the following command:

# hpvmstatus -V -P compass1
