Non-volatile RAM configuration.

The system This section is used to configure "system-wide" properties of the virtual machinethe location of the NVRAM backing file store as well as some other NVRAM options.  The list below describes the options that can be set:

  • hostid – Assign virtual CPU processing to a specific host CPU.path – Assign virtual machine I/O processing to a specific host CPU – Set Sun Host ID.
  • path – Specify location of console NVRAM file.

hostid
hostid

Assign virtual CPU processing to a specific host CPUSet Sun Host ID.

Syntax

cpu_affinity hostid = cpu-affinity [, cpu-affinity [, ... ] ]hex-hostid

Description

This option is a comma delimited list of host CPUs (or cores) that the virtual machine is to assign to virtual CPU threads.The virtual machine will assign affinity automatically if this option is not setoptional property can be used to configure the Sun Host ID of the virtual machine.  The value of hex-path is of the format 0xnnnnnnnn.

path

Assign virtual machine I/O processing to a specific host CPUSpecify location of console NVRAM file.

Syntax

io_affinity path = io-affinity [, io-affinity [, ... ] ] nvram-path

Description

This option accepts a comma delimited list of specific host CPUs (or cores) the virtual machine will assign to I/O processing.If this directive is unset the virtual machine will assign affinity automaticallyproperty specifies the location of the console NVRAM image.  It contains information such as environment variable settings, boot flags, etc.  Set nvram-path to a location on the host system where this information can be stored.
