Screen details
• Virtual Switch Name: lists the names of the virtual switches.
• Status : shows whether the virtual switch is up (operational) or down (inoperational).
• Type: shows whether the corresponding virtual switch is a shared or dedicated vswitch.
• Supports AVIO: shows whether the corresponding backing device supports Accelerated Virtual
Input/Output (AVIO). AVIO is supported on HP Integrity VM Version 3.5 or later. For each
VM or vPar containing an AVIO device, the VSP OS and the guest OS must support AVIO.
With HP Integrity VM, AVIO requires a virtual switch that has a physical network device as
the backing device (local virtual switches such as localnet are not supported). In addition,
the physical NIC that backs the virtual switch must have an AVIO-compatible driver. For more
information about AVIO requirements, see the HP Integrity VM documentation at the following
website (click on the HP Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX tab):

• Used by: shows the VMs or vPars that are using the virtual switch. Position your cursor over
the information icon to view a list of the VMs or vPars that are connected to the virtual switch.
VSP Network tab
The VSP Network tab shows the mapping from virtual network interfaces in the VMs or vPars to
the physical network interface cards (also called adapters) in the VSP system.
