HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager 4.1 Software: User Guide

Accessing VM Manager from HP SMH
To use all the VM Manager facilities (view all screens and perform all menu actions), you must
log in to HP SMH with Administrator privileges. To access VM Manager from HP SMH, follow
these steps:
1. On the SMH Home page, click Tools.
NOTE: SMH GUI sessions stop after the session timeout period elapses without any user
activity (by default, the session timeout period is 15 minutes). With HP SMH Version 2.2.7
December 2007 and later, you can prevent a session from timing out by selecting the Session
never expires check box in the upper right corner of the page. Even if the box is checked,
the SMH server might shut itself down to conserve system resources if there is a period of
inactivity from all users (by default, this timeout period is 30 minutes). All of the VM Manager
Version 4.1 views and dialogs periodically issue short keepalive messages to the server to
prevent SMH from shutting itself down during your session. For more information about
SMH session management, see the smhstartconfig(1) and hpsmh(1) manpages.
2. On the SMH Tools page, select Integrity Virtual Machine Manager from the Integrity
Virtual Machines Management menu box. In the SMH Tools page shown in Figure 3-5,
the Integrity Virtual Machines Management menu box appears in the lower right corner
of the page. (Its location varies, depending on the management tools that are available.) This
example shows the SMH list view. The SMH icon view displays icons instead of menu boxes.
Look for the Integrity Virtual Machines icon ( ). To switch from one type of view to
another, click one of the the associated icons in the SMH header (to the right of the
Management Processor information).
