This section addresses TPVM behavior on the SLX 9150 series platforms.
The SLX 9150 series platforms support only one disk of 128 GB. 64 GB of the disk are used to store SLX-OS, and the remaining 64 G are used to store the TPVM image and any additional TPVM virtual disks. The TPVM disk image (or TPVM main disk) and any additional TPVM virtual disks share the same single 64-GB partition reserved for TPVM. It is important to be aware of this when creating virtual disks inside the TPVM.
The total size of the TPVM main disk and the all the virtual disks is limited to 64 GB, the size of the actual physical partition. Because these platforms are bare-metal systems, the SLX-OS reload behavior affects TPVM. When SLX-OS is rebooted, TPVM is rebooted as well. However, on the contrary, when TPVM is rebooted, SLX-OS is not affected. Because the SLX 9150 series platforms do not support a host OS, the console toggle key sequences “CTRL + y + 1|2|3” is not supported. Instead, a new command, tpvm console, allows connection to the TPVM console from an SLX Telnet or console session, as in the following example.
[SLX]# tpvm console Connected to domain TPVM Escape character is ^\ Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS TPVM ttyS0 TPVM login:
Once in the TPVM console, you can execute ctrl+\ to switch back to the session from where the TPVM console was started.
