8 Viewing logs and version information
Viewing VSP, VM, or vPar logs
You can view the events logged by Integrity VM or vPar for the VSP by selecting View→VSP log...
from the Integrity Virtual Server Manager menu bar. This gives a display similar to that created by
the hpvmstatus -eM command (used at the Integrity VM CLI), except Integrity Virtual Server
Manager limits the display to the most recent 1000 log lines. The VSP event log records all changes
to configurations of the VSP and to VMs or vPars on the VSP, including information about commands
issued and error messages.
You can view the events logged by Integrity VM pertaining to a selected VM or vPar by selecting
View→Log for VM or vPar... from the Integrity Virtual Server Manager menu bar (if you are in a
VSP or Vswitch Properties view, a VM or a vPar must be selected). This gives the same display that
the hpvmstatus -eM -P vm-name command would give when used at the Integrity VM CLI
(where vm-name is the name of the VM or the vPar). The event log records all changes to
configurations of the VM or vPar and information about commands issued and error messages.
NOTE: With Integrity Virtual Server Manager running under HP SMH, to view the Integrity VM
logs using either of these View menu items, you must be logged into HP SMH with either Operator
or Administrator privileges. For more information, see the HP SMH documentation, available from
the following website (click the Support and Documents link):

Some reasons that you might want to view either log include the following:
• To confirm a change that you made to a running VM or vPar. This is especially useful when
the Integrity Virtual Server Manager does not immediately display the changed data, such as
modification of memory or the number of virtual CPUs for a running VM or vPar. In such
circumstances, Integrity Virtual Server Manager does not display the new data until the VM
or vPar is shut down or restarted.
• To review an error message that resulted from an Integrity VM command run by Integrity
Virtual Server Manager, or to view the actual command line that was run. Integrity Virtual
Server Manager displays, or allows you to view this information, at the time of the action.
This view allows you to review the information at a later time without having to access a log
manually from the VSP.
• To view commands, logged information, and error messages obtained directly from the Integrity
VM CLI and that might not have been recorded by Integrity Virtual Server Manager.
• To view other information logged on the VSP, such as the status of the VM or the vPar subsystem
startup sequence (this information includes whether the VM or vPar starts automatically when
the Integrity VSP starts or remains in the Off state until manually started).
