HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager 4.1 Software: User Guide

NOTE: If the source or target VM Host is not enabled and licensed for online migration,
or the virtual machine is not enabled for online migration, you can migrate the virtual
machine offline. Stop the virtual machine and then retry migrating it.

6. Inspect the commands. If they suit your needs and you want to go ahead with the migration,
click Finish. If you want to tailor the commands to be used for migrating the selected virtual
machines, you can enter the desired commands manually on the VM Host. If you want to
start over — perhaps to specify a different target host or to change your selection regarding
whether to remove the virtual machine configuration after it is migrated to the other host
— click Previous to return to the Step 1 screen of the wizard.
If you do not want to perform the migration, click Cancel. When you click Cancel or Finish,
VM Manager returns you to the screen from which you initiated the Migrate Virtual Machine
wizard.
While a virtual machine is being migrated to another VM Host, you cannot stop, start, restart,
modify, or delete that virtual machine. You can continue using VM Manager for other
purposes. While the current migration is in progress, if you start the Migrate Virtual Machine
wizard again to migrate another virtual machine, VM Manager queues the newly-selected
migration until after the current migration completes.
To determine the status of the migration, use the VM Host Virtual Machines tab (especially
if multiple virtual machines are being migrated) or the VM Properties General tab.
Creating virtual switches
To provide network access for virtual machines, you must create virtual network switches
(vswitches) for them. This section describes how to create a new vswitch on the VM Host. The
vswitch is used by a virtual machine to connect to the network: one or more virtual machines
connect to the vswitch and the vswitch is connected to a VM Host's physical network device.
