Alerts
The VM Properties General tab displays the Alerts section only when an error occurs during an
attempt to migrate one or more VMs to another VSP. An example is shown in Figure 47.
Figure 47 Migration alerts
• Error: Displays errors pertaining to migration of VMs.
You can clear the alerts information by clicking the trash button ( ) on the right. This also
clears the Migration Alerts icon ( ) next to the VM name on the VSP Virtual Servers tab.
For more information about migration and how to start the migration of a VM, see “Migrating
VMs” (page 94).
VM or vPar CPU Information
• CPU Count: The number of virtual CPUs in the VM or vPar. To use Virtual Server Manager to
modify the CPU count, click Modify→ VM or vPar CPU Count.
VM or vPar Memory Information
To use Virtual Server Manager to modify the following parameters, click Modify→Memory.
• Memory Required to Start VM or vPar: The amount of memory needed for the VM or vPar to
boot.
• Initial Target for Memory Size After Boot: The value to which Integrity Virtual Server Manager
tries to change the VM or vPar memory immediately after it boots.
• Minimum Memory Size: The lowest value to which the VM or vPar can attempt to decrease
its memory while the OS is running.
• Maximum Memory Size: The highest value to which the VM or vPar can attempt to increase
its memory while the OS is running.
• Base Memory Size: The memory size value that you specify for a vPar. The base memory that
you specify is the kernel memory.
• Float Memory Size: The memory size value that you specify for a vPar. Float memory is an
optional value.
NOTE: Base Memory Size and Float Memory Size fields are displayed only for vPars.
• VM or vPar is Allowed to Control Memory Size: Indicates whether the Allow dynamic control
of memory size from the VM or vPar is in effect. This control allows applications running Virtual
Server Manager (for example, gWLM) to dynamically change the memory on the VM or vPar.
• AMR is enabled: Indicates whether automatic memory reallocation (AMR) for a VM or vPar is
enabled or not. You can enable AMR only on Virtual Server Manager on which dynamic
memory control is enabled.
