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,

that is used 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 the following topics and tasks:
