HP Integrity Virtual Server Manager 6.3 User Guide

When a utilization meter is dimmed, a label next to the meter indicates the probable cause.
These labels and status indicators are described in “Utilization meter status/error information”
(page 141).
Virtual LAN interface I/O utilization on the VM or vPar Properties Network tab: For a VM or
vPar with invalid credentials, either the No Perm. or No Data label appears next to the
meter. The page still displays whatever information is available from the VSP, such as the
status and the bus, device, and function numbers for a virtual LAN interface. For a VM or vPar
with valid credentials, Integrity Virtual Server Manager displays I/O utilization data for each
virtual LAN interface and for VM or vPar aggregated LAN interfaces.
Virtual storage device I/O utilization on the VM or vPar Properties Storage tab: For a VM or
vPar with invalid credentials, either the No Perm. or No Data label appears next to the
meter. The page still displays whatever information is available from the VSP, such as the
virtual device type and the bus, device, and target numbers for the virtual storage device. For
a VM or vPar with valid credentials, Integrity Virtual Server Manager displays I/O utilization
data for each virtual storage device and for VM or vPar aggregated storage interfaces.
• Virtual LAN (VLAN) interface name and status on the Network tab: This status is displayed for
a VM or vPar with valid credentials, but invalid credentials will return an unknown LAN status
and utilization. It might display whatever information is available, for example, the bus, dev,
or the fcn number for the VLAN interface.
To change the WBEM credentials settings for VMs or vPars, return to the Set WBEM Credentials
for VMs or vPars page by selecting Modify→WBEM Credentials.... You do not need to select a
VM or vPar before setting credentials.
IMPORTANT: After you enter the data, save it by clicking OK. Otherwise, the data is cleared
when the session ends.
Trusted certificates
If you require the additional security provided by certificate validation you can turn on SSL certificate
validation by selecting the Require trusted certificates check box on the Integrity Virtual Server
Manager Set WBEM Credentials for VMs or vPars page. With this setting turned on, the client
Certificate Trust Store must include the server certificates from the VMs or vPars; otherwise, Integrity
Virtual Server Manager cannot obtain certain information from the VMs or vPars. If your environment
does not require the additional security provided by certificate validation, you can leave certificate
validation turned off.
To enable SSL certificate validation in Integrity Virtual Server Manager, you must export the server
certificates from the WBEM services providers on the VMs or vPars, and import those certificates
into the keystore on the VSP where Integrity Virtual Server Manager is running. This keystore is
shared between Partition (machine) Manager and Integrity Virtual Server Manager. Certificates in
this keystore are trusted by both Partition (Machine) Manager and Integrity Virtual Server Manager.
To get the certificate file from the WBEM services provider, follow these steps:
