HP Insight Virtualization Manager with Logical Server Management 6.1 User Guide

Moves a logical server to a target host that is configured with local storage. For ESX VM
guests, requires that the source and target hosts are in the same VMware vCenter.
• Quick Move (Hyper-V VM Only)
Saves the state of a running guest virtual machine (memory of original server to disk/shared
storage), moves the storage connectivity from one physical server to another, and then
restores the guest virtual machine onto the second server (disk/shared storage to memory
on the new server). To select Quick Move, you must have checked Enable High Availability
when you created or modified the logical server before it was activated, the data store must
be shared in the MS Cluster, and the virtual machine must be in a cluster node.
• Unlike Move
Reactivates an instance of a logical server that was active on a physical system onto a virtual
system, and vice versa, using the same storage shared between Virtual Connect and VMware
vCenter. For example, you can move a Virtual Connect logical server with a portable
operating system image to a virtual machine.
NOTE: When you are moving a High Availability-enabled Hyper-V virtual machine logical
server, only the Quick Move operation type is available.
Power on and off
The Tools→Logical Servers→Power On... or Tools→Logical Servers→Power Off... menu
selections power on or off a virtual machine or a server blade bay on which a logical server was
activated or moved.
You can verify that a server blade has started by logging into the Onboard Administrator.
Refresh server resources
The Tools→Logical Servers→Refresh... menu selection refreshes the logical server database
with the VM Manager, Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager, HP SIM logical server nodes, and
storage pool inventories. You might want to refresh if you create or remove inventory, by
performing actions such as importing a logical server, creating or deleting a VM Host, or creating
or deleting an enclosure in a Virtual Connect domain group.
Refreshing is useful if, for example, you use VM Manager to create a new VM Host, then activate
a logical server. In that case, the new VM Host might not be listed as an available target on the
Assign Logical Servers to Target Hosts screen. If you select Tools→Logical Servers→Refresh...,
then Tools→Logical Servers→Activate..., the new VM Host will be an available target on
which you can activate the logical server.
The Tools→Logical Servers→Refresh... menu selection also allows you to reassociate all
Virtual Connect logical servers from an old domain group to a new domain group.
View logical server details
The Report→View Logical Server Details... menu selection, or clicking the logical server icon
or the non-movable (static) logical server icon in the Virtualization Manager: Visualization
tab, displays the logical server definition. It also displays additional attributes of the logical
server, including the logical server state and type, and whether the logical server is inoperable.
(You cannot perform operations on an inoperable logical server other than delete and unmanage.)
View logical server job status
The Report→View Logical Server Job Status... menu selection shows the status and messages,
if any, of a logical server job (or operation). Multiple jobs can be in progress at any one time. Up
to 500 of the most recent jobs are displayed.
