=head1 DESCRIPTION
=head2 PPC specific:
The chvm command modifies the partition profile for the partitions specified in noderange. A partitions current profile can be read using lsvm, modified, and piped into the chvm command, or changed with the -p flag.
This command also supports to change specific partition attributes by specifying one or more "attribute equals value" pairs in command line directly, without whole partition profile.
=head2 VMware specific:
The chvm command modifes the vm specified in noderange. Calling with deregister or purge options at the same time as the resize option is not recommended.
=head1 OPTIONS
=head2 Common:
B<-h> Display usage message.
B<-v> Command Version.
=head2 PPC specific:
B<-p profile> Name of an existing partition profile.
B<attr=val> Specifies one or more "attribute equals value" pairs, separated by spaces.
B<-v> Command Version.
B<-V> Verbose output.
=head2 VMware specific:
B<-a size> Add a new Hard disk with size defaulting to GB. Multiple can be added with comma separated values.
B<--cpus count> Set the number of CPUs.
B<-d disk> Deregister the Hard disk but leave the backing files. Multiple can be done with comma separated values. The disks are specified by SCSI id. Size defaults to GB.
B<--mem memory> Set the memory, defaults to MB.
B<-p disk> Purge the Hard disk. Deregisters and deletes the files. Multiple can be done with comma separated values. The disks are specified by SCSI id. Size defaults to GB.
B<--resize disk=size> Change the size of the Hard disk. The disk can never be set to less than it's current size. Multiple disks can be resized to I<size> by using comma separated values on the left side of B<=>. The disks are specified by SCSI id. Size defaults to GB.
