+ The <option>--mac</option> option specifies the MAC address
+ of the ethernet interface for the instance. If this option
+ is not specified, a new MAC address is generated randomly with
+ the configured MAC prefix. The randomly generated MAC
+ address is guaranteed to be unique among the instances of
+ this cluster.

+ The <option>--hvm-boot-order</option> option specifies the
+ boot device order for Xen HVM instances. The boot order is a

+ The default is not to set an HVM boot order which is
+ interpreted as 'dc'. This option, like all options starting
+ with 'hvm', is only relevant for Xen HVM instances and
+ ignored by all other instance types.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <option>--hvm-acpi</option> option specifies if Xen
+ should enable ACPI support for this HVM instance. Valid
+ values are true or false. The default value is false,
+ disabling ACPI support for this instance.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <option>--hvm-pae</option> option specifies if Xen
+ should enabled PAE support for this HVM instance. Valid
+ values are true or false. The default is false, disabling
+ PAE support for this instance.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <option>--hvm-cdrom-image-path</option> option specifies the
+ path to the file Xen uses to emulate a virtual CDROM drive
+ for this HVM instance. Valid values are either an
+ absolute path to an existing file or None, which disables
+ virtual CDROM support for this instance. The default is
+ None, disabling virtual CDROM support.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <option>--hvm-nic-type</option> specifies the NIC type
+ Xen should use for this HVM instance. Valid choices are
+ rtl8139, ne2k_pci, ne2k_isa and paravirtual with rtl8139
+ as the default. The paravirtual setting is intended for use
+ with the GPL PV drivers inside HVM Windows instances.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <option>--hvm-disk-type</option> specifies the disk type
+ Xen should use for the HVM instance. Valid choices are ioemu
+ and paravirtual with ioemu as the default. The paravirtual
+ setting is intended for use with the GPL PV drivers inside
+ HVM Windows instances.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <option>--vnc-bind-address</option> option specifies the
+ address that the VNC listener for this instance should bind
+ to. Valid values are IPv4 addresses. Use the address 0.0.0.0
+ to bind to all available interfaces (this is the default)
+ or specify the address of one of the interfaces on the node
+ to restrict listing to that interface.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <option>--iallocator</option> option specifies the instance
+ allocator plugin to use. If you pass in this option the allocator
+ will select nodes for this instance automatically, so you don't need
+ to pass them with the <option>-n</option> option. For more
+ information please refer to the instance allocator documentation.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <option>--kernel</option> option allows the instance to
+ use a custom kernel (if a filename is passed) or to use the
+ default kernel (<filename>@CUSTOM_XEN_KERNEL@</filename>), if the
+ string <constant>default</constant> is passed.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The <option>--initrd</option> option is similar: it allows
+ the instance to use a custom initrd (if a filename is
+ passed) or to use the default initrd
+ (<filename>@CUSTOM_XEN_INITRD@</filename>), if the string
+ <constant>default</constant> is passed, or to disable the
+ use of an initrd, if the string <constant>none</constant> is
+ passed. Note that in the case the instance is set to use the
+ default initrd and it doesn't exist, it will be silently
+ ignored; if the instance is set to use a custom initrd and
+ it doesn't exist, this will be treated as an error and will
+ prevent the startup of the instance.
