Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
archive_on_delete boolean	no yes	When enabled, the zone dataset will be mounted on /zones/archive upon removal.
autoboot boolean	no yes	Whether or not a VM is booted when the system is rebooted.
boot string		Set the boot order for KVM VMs.
brand string	joyent ← joyent-minimal lx kvm bhyve	Type of virtual machine. The bhyve option was added in community.general 0.2.0.
cpu_cap integer		Sets a limit on the amount of CPU time that can be used by a VM. Use 0 for no cap.
cpu_shares integer		Sets a limit on the number of fair share scheduler (FSS) CPU shares for a VM. This limit is relative to all other VMs on the system.
cpu_type string	qemu64 ← host	Control the type of virtual CPU exposed to KVM VMs.
customer_metadata dictionary		Metadata to be set and associated with this VM, this contain customer modifiable keys.
delegate_dataset boolean	no yes	Whether to delegate a ZFS dataset to an OS VM.
disk_driver string		Default value for a virtual disk model for KVM guests.
disks list / elements=string		A list of disks to add, valid properties are documented in vmadm(1M).
dns_domain string		Domain value for /etc/hosts.
docker boolean	no yes	Docker images need this flag enabled along with the brand set to lx.
filesystems list / elements=string		Mount additional filesystems into an OS VM.
firewall_enabled boolean	no yes	Enables the firewall, allowing fwadm(1M) rules to be applied.
force boolean	no yes	Force a particular action (i.e. stop or delete a VM).
fs_allowed string		Comma separated list of filesystem types this zone is allowed to mount.
hostname string		Zone/VM hostname.
image_uuid string		Image UUID.
indestructible_delegated boolean	no yes	Adds an @indestructible snapshot to delegated datasets.
indestructible_zoneroot boolean	no yes	Adds an @indestructible snapshot to zoneroot.
internal_metadata dictionary		Metadata to be set and associated with this VM, this contains operator generated keys.
internal_metadata_namespace string		List of namespaces to be set as internal_metadata-only; these namespaces will come from internal_metadata rather than customer_metadata.
kernel_version string		Kernel version to emulate for LX VMs.
limit_priv string		Set (comma separated) list of privileges the zone is allowed to use.
maintain_resolvers boolean	no yes	Resolvers in /etc/resolv.conf will be updated when updating the resolvers property.
max_locked_memory integer		Total amount of memory (in MiBs) on the host that can be locked by this VM.
max_lwps integer		Maximum number of lightweight processes this VM is allowed to have running.
max_physical_memory integer		Maximum amount of memory (in MiBs) on the host that the VM is allowed to use.
max_swap integer		Maximum amount of virtual memory (in MiBs) the VM is allowed to use.
mdata_exec_timeout integer		Timeout in seconds (or 0 to disable) for the svc:/smartdc/mdata:execute service that runs user-scripts in the zone.
name string		Name of the VM. vmadm(1M) uses this as an optional name. aliases: alias
nic_driver string		Default value for a virtual NIC model for KVM guests.
nics list / elements=string		A list of nics to add, valid properties are documented in vmadm(1M).
nowait boolean	no yes	Consider the provisioning complete when the VM first starts, rather than when the VM has rebooted.
qemu_extra_opts string		Additional qemu cmdline arguments for KVM guests.
qemu_opts string		Additional qemu arguments for KVM guests. This overwrites the default arguments provided by vmadm(1M) and should only be used for debugging.
quota integer		Quota on zone filesystems (in MiBs).
ram integer		Amount of virtual RAM for a KVM guest (in MiBs).
resolvers list / elements=string		List of resolvers to be put into /etc/resolv.conf.
routes dictionary		Dictionary that maps destinations to gateways, these will be set as static routes in the VM.
spice_opts string		Addition options for SPICE-enabled KVM VMs.
spice_password string		Password required to connect to SPICE. By default no password is set. Please note this can be read from the Global Zone.
state string	present running ← absent deleted stopped created restarted rebooted	States for the VM to be in. Please note that present, stopped and restarted operate on a VM that is currently provisioned. present means that the VM will be created if it was absent, and that it will be in a running state. absent will shutdown the zone before removing it. stopped means the zone will be created if it doesn't exist already, before shutting it down.
tmpfs integer		Amount of memory (in MiBs) that will be available in the VM for the /tmp filesystem.
uuid string		UUID of the VM. Can either be a full UUID or * for all VMs.
vcpus integer		Number of virtual CPUs for a KVM guest.
vga string		Specify VGA emulation used by KVM VMs.
virtio_txburst integer		Number of packets that can be sent in a single flush of the tx queue of virtio NICs.
virtio_txtimer integer		Timeout (in nanoseconds) for the TX timer of virtio NICs.
vnc_password string		Password required to connect to VNC. By default no password is set. Please note this can be read from the Global Zone.
vnc_port integer		TCP port to listen of the VNC server. Or set 0 for random, or -1 to disable.
zfs_data_compression string		Specifies compression algorithm used for this VMs data dataset. This option only has effect on delegated datasets.
zfs_data_recsize integer		Suggested block size (power of 2) for files in the delegated dataset's filesystem.
zfs_filesystem_limit integer		Maximum number of filesystems the VM can have.
zfs_io_priority integer		IO throttle priority value relative to other VMs.
zfs_root_compression string		Specifies compression algorithm used for this VMs root dataset. This option only has effect on the zoneroot dataset.
zfs_root_recsize integer		Suggested block size (power of 2) for files in the zoneroot dataset's filesystem.
zfs_snapshot_limit integer		Number of snapshots the VM can have.
zpool string		ZFS pool the VM's zone dataset will be created in.
