HP Integrity Virtual Server Manager 6.3 User Guide

Figure 66 Restart Virtual Machine page
4. In the screen example shown in Figure 66, one VM (vm001) will be stopped (gracefully) and
restarted. A message indicates that this machine have an active operating system that should
be shut down prior to stopping the VM. The How to Stop options allow you to control whether
the VMs are stopped gracefully (the default) or forcefully. For a description of each stop option,
see “Stopping VMs” (page 94).
If you want to set a forced stop for the machines, click the Forced option; otherwise, skip to
the next step. If all machines are already stopped, skip to the next step (the How to Stop
options are irrelevant).
As noted, if the OS is running on a VM that is already started, shut down the OS before
initiating the restart in the next step.
5. The Command Preview area shows the commands that Integrity VM will perform to restart the
VMs.
Click OK to perform the action.
For information about possible reasons that a VM might not start, see “Troubleshooting VM or vPar
problems” (page 142).
Deleting VMs
To delete a VM, select Delete→Virtual Machine... from the Integrity Virtual Server Manager menu
bar. The Virtual Machine... menu option is enabled in the VM Properties view or when one or more
VMs are selected in any of the tabs that list VMs, such as in the VSP Virtual Servers tab. From tabs
that list and allow selection of multiple VMs, you can simultaneously delete multiple VMs that are
selected.
NOTE: Before deleting a VM, you must first stop the VM (put it in the Off state). For instructions,
see the section “Stopping VMs” (page 94).
Deleting a VM removes the configuration definition for a VM and frees any resources assigned to
the VM, making the resources available to be assigned to other VMs. Deleting a VM does not
delete files and data residing on the virtual storage or backing storage that was assigned to the
VM.
By default, vswitch VLAN port assignments are removed when the VM is deleted. If any of the ports
are connected to other VMs that are not being removed, those port assignments are not removed.
Clearing the Remove VLAN Assignment check box causes vswitch VLAN port assignments to remain
after the VM is deleted.
