You can allocate virtual network devices or virtual network interface
cards (VNICs) to the guest when you create the guest with the hpvmcreate command
or when you modify an existing guest using the hpvmmodify command,

to add storage devices, but the format of the argument to the command option
is different. To add a VNIC to a guest, use the following command option:
-a network:adaptertype:bus,device,mac-addr:vswitch:vswitch-name:portid:portnumber |
However, before you can allocate the vswitch to the guest, you must
create the virtual switch (vswitch) using the hpvmnet command.
This chapter describes how to create and manage vswitches, including:
