When you access the Vswitch Properties view from another Integrity Virtual Server Manager
view (such as the VSP view), the link returns you to that previous Integrity Virtual Server Manager
view.

DescriptionData
Name of the virtual switchVswitch Name
The status of the virtual switch:
• Up (operational)
• Down (inoperational)
• Link down (the physical network interface used by the vswitch is not running)
Status
The type of virtual switch:
• shared vswitch: can be used by more than one VM or vPar that includes a virtual network
device (virtual NIC) backed by the switch
• dedicated vswitch: can be used by only one started VM or vPar at a time
Type
The LAN interface on the host through which the network traffic flowsBacking LAN
Indicates whether the backing LAN interface supports Accelerated Virtual Input/Output. 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 Virtual Server Manager, 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 Virtual Server Manager
documentation at the following website (click on the HP Matrix Operating Environment for HP-UX
tab):
