HP Insight Dynamics 6.0 Getting Started Guide

VM Manager 4.1 is included with this release of Insight Dynamics - VSE for Integrity. VM
Manager 4.1 offers the following new features:
• Support of HP Integrity VM Version 4.1 (in addition to earlier versions of Integrity VM that
are still supported).
• Support for initiating and monitoring the status of virtual machine migration (online and
offline). Online virtual machine migration enables moving a running virtual machine, along
with its guest operating system (OS) and its applications, to a different VM Host without
service interruption. Service remains active without requiring an OS reboot or application
restart.
• Enhanced support for HP Serviceguard. Certain VM Manager tabs indicate whether a virtual
machine participates as an HP Serviceguard package; flyover text indicates the VM Host
actively managing the virtual machine (Serviceguard guest package). In addition, if a virtual
machine is configured as a Serviceguard package, VM Manager displays the name of the
Integrity VM multiserver environment (MSE) group. This grouping is required when a set
of Integrity VM servers is also configured as a Serviceguard cluster. Virtual machines
configured as Serviceguard packages automatically fail over to another node in the Integrity
VM MSE.
• Support for removing network or storage devices from a virtual machine.
• VM Manager can now start, restart, stop, and delete virtual machines that are configured
as HP Serviceguard packages. VM Manager uses its ability to detect whether a virtual
machine is controlled by Serviceguard and then implements the appropriate Serviceguard
commands to perform the actions.
