HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager
Integrity Virtual Machines Manager is the GUI that you can use from your browser to manage
Integrity VM resources. Integrity Virtual Machines Manager allows you to create, configure and
evaluate virtual machines, and monitor and evaluate data and resources at the level of the VM
Host. You can view all of a VM Host's virtual machines and their assigned resources, and you can
view all resources assigned to a specific virtual machine or virtual switch. For example, Integrity
Virtual Machines Manager provides graphical views of virtual-to-physical network and storage
devices so that you can view I/O data, including resource utilization information. Integrity Virtual
Machines Manager obtains information about Integrity VM resources through Web-Based Enterprise
Management (WBEM) providers installed on the VM Host.
For more information about Integrity Virtual Machines Manager, see the HP Integrity Virtual Machines
Manager User Guide, available at http://www.hp.com/go/matrixoe/docs.
Product configurations
Different Matrix OE licenses are available for managing different types of systems, as shown in
the table below. The software is installed on a Central Management Server (CMS) running HP SIM,
which provides a browser-based user interface. A single CMS can be used to manage different
types of systems. The software is installed on the CMS once, regardless of how many or what types
of managed system licenses are purchased. Licenses for the managed systems are maintained on
the CMS.
For additional information about licensing, see “License management” (page 15).
