HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager Version 4.0 Getting Started Guide

Goes back to the previous view, in this case the VM Manager VM Host view. When you

access the VM Properties view from another VM Manager view (such as the VM Host view),

the link returns you to that previous view. If you had accessed the VM view directly from

Virtualization Manager, the link returns you to Virtualization Manager. In HP SMH, when

you first access this page from HP SMH, the link is not provided. The link is visible whenever

you move from one VM Manager view to another (such as from VM Host view to VM

Properties view, in which case the Go back to Integrity Virtual Machines Manager: Manage

Host link is visible on the VM Properties view).

Displays this window in a format suitable for printing.

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.

Lists virtual machine identification, status, and general configuration details. To update

status information, click Refresh Data. If supported by the version of Integrity VM running

on the VM Host, the Graceful Stop Timeout is displayed, as in this screen example. The

timeout value is set by using the hpvmmodify command at the VM Host command line.

Lists information about virtual CPU. If supported by the version of Integrity VM running

on the VM Host, the minimum and maximum number of virtual CPUs and a cap for the

entitlement is displayed, as in this screen example.

Lists information about virtual machine memory. If the guest operating system supports

dynamic memory, the information about dynamic memory parameters is displayed.

Lists information about external management tools or software such as gWLM or HP

Serviceguard. Describes the status

gWLM Policy: If the VM Host is being managed by gWLM and a policy has been assigned

to the virtual machine, the External Manager gWLM field displays the name of the gWLM

policy. If the VM Host is not managed by gWLM or if a policy has not been assigned to the

virtual machine, the gWLM field displays “(none)”. Under HP SIM with VSE Management

Software, if the virtual machine is managed by gWLM, the gWLM policy name is a hyperlink

to gWLM. Under HP SMH, if virtual machines are being managed by gWLM, the gWLM

policy name is text only (you cannot modify gWLM policies from HP SMH). In either case

(using VM Manager under VSE Software Management or HP SMH), if the virtual machine

is not being managed by gWLM, this field displays (none).

Serviceguard Package: If the virtual machine is being managed by HP Serviceguard, the

virtual machine package name is listed here. If the virtual machine is not being managed

by HP Serviceguard, this field displays (none)

Lists utilization information for the virtual machine. The data is a 5-minute average that is

calculated and updated on 5-minute boundaries. If the data cannot be displayed, the meter

is dimmed and a label indicates the probable cause. For a description of meter labels, see

“Utilization Meter Status/Error Information” (page 92).

Using VM Manager with HP SIM and VSE Management Software, you can click a meter to

view a snapshot of HP Capacity Advisor historical data for virtual CPUs, memory, disk I/O,

or network I/O; this feature is not provided when using VM Manager from HP SMH.

For more information about using VM Manager to collect and view utilization data, see

“Collecting and Viewing Utilization Data” (page 68).

Lists authorization information.
