HV_KVP_CMD(1) General Commands Manual HV_KVP_CMD(1) NAME hv_kvp_cmd -- manipulates with Hyper-V KVP records SYNOPSIS hv_kvp_cmd [-vq1wr] [-d char] [key value | keys] DESCRIPTION Hyper-V provides a mechanism for exchanging data between a host and a virtual machine. Data is presented as key-value pairs (KVP). hv_kvp_cmd utility allows you to read KVP records from any pools, write to the guest pool and delete from the guest pool. By default, hv_kvp_cmd read all or listed keys from all pools. The options are as follows: -v Verbose mode. -q Quote keys and values. -1 Read the KVP and print the keyless value. -w Writes pairs key value to a guest pool. There may be several pairs. -r Removes the listed keys from the guest pool. -d char Uses char as the delimiter between key and his value instead of the equal character. EXIT STATUS The hv_kvp_cmd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. EXAMPLES Reads all keys from all pools. hv_kvp_cmd Reads KVP with keys is the "VirtualMachineName", "PhysicalHostNameFullyQualified". hv_kvp_cmd VirtualMachineName PhysicalHostNameFullyQualified Reads KVP with key is the "VirtualMachineName" and output this value to the stdout. hv_kvp_cmd -1 VirtualMachineName Writes KVP with the UUID of the virtual machine with the "UUID_VM_from_OS" key in the guest pool. hv_kvp_cmd -w UUID_VM_from_OS `cat /etc/hostid` Removes key "UUID_VM_from_OS" from the guest pool. hv_kvp_cmd -r UUID_VM_from_OS FreeBSD ports 15.quarterly Mar 08, 2021 HV_KVP_CMD(1)
