system

Specify the name of the VM being configured by the present configuration file

Synopsis:

system system_name

Description:

The system option specifies the name (system_name) of the VM being configured by the present qvm configuration file or command-line startup. If specified, it must be the first entry (other than comments) in a qvm configuration file or command-line string.

Note: For each VM, the VM-specific configuration file (guest*.qvmconf) appears before the common configuration file. The VM-specific configuration files are likely to start with the system option, which if it appears must be the first option specified for a VM configuration.

Example:

The following specifies that the name of the VM created with the current qvm configuration file is “qnx7a”:

system qnx7a

If you use the virtio-net vdev's peer option, the full name of the end of the peer link is formed from the value of system_name concatenated with the value specified for the virtio-net vdev's name option (see vdev virtio-net in the “Virtual Device Reference” chapter).
