Host system, as shown in Figure 3-11.

The following provides general information about the screen. More detailed information is
provided by VM Manager help.
1
Goes back to the previous view, in this case the Virtualization Manager. If you accessed the
VM Host view from another VM Manager view (such as the VM Properties view), the link
returns you to that previous view. In HP SMH, when you first access this page from HP
SMH, the link is not provided. The link appears whenever you move from one VM Manager
view to another (such as from VM Properties view to VM Host view, in which case the Go
back to Integrity Virtual Machines Manager: Manage VM link appears on the VM Host
view).
2
Displays this window in a format suitable for printing.
3
Updates the data displayed on this page. In general, VM Manager tabbed view screens are
refreshed automatically at regular intervals, and VM Manager screens that display
configuration data are updated instantaneously when you use VM Manager to change the
related configuration parameters. However, when changes to the virtual machine I/O
configuration are made using tools other than VM Manager (such as adding or removing
I/O devices by using the VM Host command line), the updated configuration data is not
shown until the screen is refreshed.
4
Allows you to perform an action on the virtual switches. Select the box for a specific virtual
switch, then an action from one of the menus available on the VM Manager menu bar. To
perform an action on all the virtual switches, select the box in the header row.
5
Displays information about the virtual switch by taking you to the Vswitch Properties
General tab.
6
Indicates whether the physical backing device supports Accelerated Virtual Input/Output
(AVIO). AVIO is supported on HP Integrity VM version 3.5 or later. For each virtual machine
containing an AVIO device, the VM Host OS and the guest OS must support AVIO. For
more information about AVIO requirements, see “Creating Virtual Switches” (page 86) in
this manual. In addition, see the HP Integrity Virtual Machines Installation, Configuration, and
Administration manual.
