lists each command and whether the command succeeded, failed, or was not attempted. Clicking
OK on the error page returns you to the Create Vswitch page.
Starting, stopping, and deleting virtual switches
To start or stop a virtual switch, select Tools→Start Virtual Switch... or Tools→Stop Virtual Switch...
from the Integrity Virtual Server Manager menu bar. To delete a virtual switch, select Delete→Virtual
Switch.... Access these menu options from a view that allows you to select one or more virtual
switches, such as the VSP Virtual Switches tab. In this way, you can act on several multiple switches
simultaneously, if selected. (You can also access the menu options from the Vswitch Properties
view, in which case the action is performed on a single virtual switch: the one being viewed.)
To start a vswitch, select Tools→Start Virtual Switch.... Once a vswitch is started, the VMs that are
connected to it can use it for network connectivity. Before you start a vswitch, it must be stopped.
To stop a vswitch, select Tools→Stop Virtual Switch.... The selected vswitch must currently be started.
Once a vswitch is stopped, the VMs connected to it can no longer use it for network connectivity.
To remove all configuration information for a vswitch, select Delete→Virtual Switch.... Before you
remove a vswitch, you must first stop it.
NOTE: For information about creating and managing vswitches, see the HP-UX vPars and Integrity
VM Administrator Guide available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-hpvm-docs.
Deleting network or storage devices
Delete Network or Storage Device menu is applicable to both VMs and vPars. To delete a network
or storage device from a VM or vPar, select one or more I/O devices from a Network or Storage
tab, and then select Delete→I/O Device... from the Integrity Virtual Server Manager menu bar.
You can select I/O devices from any of the following tabs: VSP Storage, VM or vPar Properties
Storage, VSP Network, VM or vPar Properties Network, Vswitch Properties Network.
Selecting Delete→I/O Device... displays a page that allows you to remove the selected I/O devices.
When you delete a device from a VM or vPar, it is disassociated from that VM or vPar, allowing
the device to be used by another VM or vPar on the VSP. Deleted devices remain active on a VM
or vPar that is running; the devices are removed once you restart the VM or vPar.
Storage devices that you can delete include virtual disks and DVDs as well as attached tapes,
burners, and changers. Deleting a storage device does not affect data on that device (files or data
are not removed from the device).
