HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager Version 4.0 Getting Started Guide

NOTE: After creating a virtual machine using VM Manager, if you return immediately to
Virtualization Manager, the machine might not yet appear in Virtualization Manager. This
means HP SIM has not yet completed identifying the new virtual machine. However, it
appears when the identification process completes (usually within a minute or two).
Modifying Virtual Machines
To modify a virtual machine, select one of the following items from the VM Manager Modify
menu. For more information about any item, see the corresponding VM Manager help topic.
• Virtual Machine vCPU Entitlement to modify the processor entitlement of a selected virtual
machine. If supported by the version of Integrity VM running on the VM Host, you can
modify the entitlement cap. An entitlement cap is the maximum amount of computing power
allotted to a virtual machine for each vCPU.
NOTE: If the virtual machine is being managed by gWLM, you cannot modify the vCPU
entitlement. When you access the Virtual Machine vCPU Entitlement page, the following
error message is displayed, where virtual-machine-name is the name of the virtual
machine:
The processor entitlement for VM virtual-machine-name cannot be
modified because it is being managed by gWLM. To adjust the processor
entitlement for this VM, use gWLM to change the policy associated
with this VM.
To create or modify the gWLM policy for this virtual machine, use the Policy menu (available
when using VM Manager with VSE Management Software).
• Virtual Machine Memory to modify the amount of memory for a selected virtual machine.
If the VM Host has Integrity VM 3.0 or later installed and the OS type for the VM supports
dynamic memory, the dynamic memory parameters are shown, and you can modify them.
Changes to memory take effect when the virtual machine is restarted.
• Virtual Machine vCPU Count to modify the number of virtual CPUs for a selected virtual
machine. If supported by the version of Integrity VM running on the VM Host, you can
modify the minimum and maximum number of vCPUs to be allotted to the virtual machine.
Changes take effect when the virtual machine is restarted.
• Virtual Machine VLAN Settings to modify the VLAN associated with the virtual machine.
• Virtual Machine Hardware Auto Start to specify whether the virtual machine should start
automatically when Integrity VM is started or whether the virtual machine will be started
manually.
• WBEM Credentials to set and change WBEM credentials for virtual machines.
• Add Storage Devices to Virtual Machine to add storage devices for virtual machines.
