HP Insight Dynamics 6.0 Update 1 Release Notes

New in this release:
— Support of HP Integrity VM Version 4.1 (in addition to earlier versions of Integrity VM
that are still supported).
— Support for initiating and monitoring the status of virtual machine migration (online
and offline). Online virtual machine migration enables moving a running virtual
machine, along with its guest operating system (OS) and its applications, to a different
VM Host without service interruption. Service remains active without requiring an OS
reboot or application restart.
— Enhanced support for HP Serviceguard. Certain VM Manager tabs indicate whether a
virtual machine participates as an HP Serviceguard package; flyover text indicates the
VM Host actively managing the virtual machine (Serviceguard guest package). In
addition, if a virtual machine is configured as a Serviceguard package, VM Manager
displays the name of the Integrity VM multiserver environment (MSE) group. This
grouping is required when a set of Integrity VM servers is also configured as a
Serviceguard cluster. Virtual machines configured as Serviceguard packages
automatically fail over to another node in the Integrity VM MSE.
— Support for removing network or storage devices from a virtual machine.
— VM Manager can now start, restart, stop, and delete virtual machines that are configured
as HP Serviceguard packages. VM Manager uses its ability to detect whether a virtual
machine is controlled by Serviceguard and then implements the appropriate
Serviceguard commands to perform the actions.
• Logical server management
Logical servers, included in HP Insight Dynamics for ProLiant and non-HP servers, are
managed within Virtualization Manager and, when activated, are applied to the creation of
a virtual machine using hypervisor-based software or to a bare-metal server blade using
HP Virtual Connect technology. Logical servers have been enhanced in this release to provide
expanded technology support and ease-of-use features. The logical servers feature in
Virtualization Manager runs on an x86/x64 Windows CMS.
