HP Integrity Virtual Machines Manager 4.1 Software: User Guide

NOTE: If the virtual machine is being managed by gWLM, you cannot modify the vCPU
entitlement. When you access the Virtual Machine vCPU Entitlement page, the following
error message is displayed, where virtual-machine-name is the name of the virtual
machine:
The processor entitlement for VM virtual-machine-name cannot be
modified because it is being managed by gWLM. To adjust the processor
entitlement for this VM, use gWLM to change the policy associated
with this VM.
To create or modify the gWLM policy for this virtual machine, use the Policy menu (available
when using VM Manager with Insight Dynamics - VSE for Integrity).
• Virtual Machine Memory to modify the amount of memory for a selected virtual machine.
If the VM Host has Integrity VM 3.0 or later installed and the OS type for the VM supports
dynamic memory, the dynamic memory parameters are shown, and you can modify them.
Changes to memory take effect when the virtual machine is restarted.
NOTE: An up-to-date version of the WBEM Utilization Provider (UP) must be installed
on the virtual machine to enable HP Insight Capacity Advisor software and the memory
utilization meters in VM Manager and Integrity VM to reflect the dynamic change in memory.
For information about verifying and installing software on virtual machines, see “System
and software requirements” (page 13) and the HP Integrity Virtual Machines documentation.
• Virtual Machine vCPU Count to modify the number of virtual CPUs for a selected virtual
machine. If supported by the version of Integrity VM running on the VM Host, you can
modify the minimum and maximum number of vCPUs to be allotted to the virtual machine.
Changes take effect when the virtual machine is restarted.
• Virtual Machine VLAN Settings to modify the VLAN associated with the virtual machine.
• Virtual Machine Hardware Auto Start to specify whether the virtual machine should start
automatically when Integrity VM is started or whether the virtual machine will be started
manually.
• WBEM Credentials to set and change WBEM credentials for virtual machines.
• Add Storage Devices to Virtual Machine to add storage devices for virtual machines.
